Are you OK? You don't seem OK.

That is pretty much what they are trying for. Idea people who know how to turn an operating loss into profit, or at least keep the hype going.

Another possibility though is that what we are seeing is companies eating their own hype tails. Today, AI is not profitable. It is lucrative yes, but the whole industry is being fueled by outside capital and services being sold for less than they take to operate in the hopes people will find them useful enough to pay the real cost.

All of the AI companies are claiming they have found the secret recipe to profits, and might even believe each other.. so poaching someone who found a way to turn your net loss into a net gain would be worth it to companies trying to figure out how to survive after the VCs lose interst.

That isn't science money, it is MBA money. They are trying to poach executives, not research scientists.

It's time to learn about the REU!

"Penultimate" isn't a synonym for "ultimate"—it means the thing before the ultimate. Likewise we have penumbra for the blurry edge of a shadow (umbra). This results in some truly special words like "antepenult," meaning "the thing before the thing before the final thing," commonly used when discussing where the stress/accent falls in a Greek or Latin word.

"Invaluable" does indeed mean "not able to be valued" when analyzed morphologically, but the standard usage of it is indicating something is beyond value, i.e. infinitely or inestimably valuable. A value of zero is still a value, after all.

"Inflammable" however actually means "able to be inflamed," as in "put in flame" or "set on fire." The confusion comes from assimilation of the Latin preposition "in" (which we have as "in" or "on") instead of the more typical prefix "in-" (which demarcates negation.) You don't have to look very far for other words where "in" doesn't mean "not": indicate, inherit, imply, investigate, indict, involve...

Why couldn't they use radio to a base station where the cable is?

In fact the necessity of running a cable from a base station to a drone makes it seem to mean repeater would be even more important.

2nd best paying students. Those from outside the EU pay more as they were not entitled to treatment equal to that of UK citizens.

I wholeheartedly agree with the name-calling though.

Google and many others are selling the AI to answer phone calls and email, so it's all good.

I suspect someone already has a service that will take top search results and output similar content.

Reminds me of that brief period in crypto where you could buy tokens of various influencers and essentially bet on how popular they were going to be. No actual connection to the person,.. just a 3rd party token with their name.

Are they securities, or just outright gambling? You don't get any actual stock, just betting on a stock going up or down and keeping a slip.

Thanks, those are very interesting links with solid information.

Depends on what you mean by 'better'. These bots are optimized for being picked up by the various algorithms that suggest things to listeners. I suspect they will get better at that, and that is all that really matters from their perspective.

There will probably always be small creators, people scraping by on youtube, or doing it as a hobby. You just need to plug in whatever gets popular in that scene and poof, take credit for creativity. Kinda like how it already works.
