Nadella is not showing psychosis here, but the fact that he thinks his chatbot hack of a webpage is evidence of something important show him on the road to get there.

In our brave new corporate controlled world adds will be inserted everywhere (and all your data belong to them -- you are automatically opted in, and probably cannot really opt out).

Here's the thing. A paid ad clearly labeled as such is an annoyance in something you are paying for. But, do you trust any chatbot provider not to train their bots to push you to buy products they want you to buy without disclosing it? Whereas Google says their rankings aren't affected by payments (other than their promoted link) they are awash in advertising cash. Chatbot vendors, especially OpenAI, are desperate for revenue.

The Trump order applies ONLY to wind power. Oil platforms are not banned for any reason. If that seems illogical well... Trump.

Mainly, yes.

Ah, for the days before we discovered that Adams always intended for Pointy Haired Boss to be the hero of the cartoon.

If you are interested learning about actual science you can read the actual paper. It is not paywalled. Look up "speleothem isotopes" to learn about specific climatologic techniques for this study.

We do have records. We just can't read them. The Harappan language has never been deciphered. There are about 5000 inscriptions known.

That droughts led to the end of Indus Valley Civilization has been surmised for decades, this study provided a much more detailed account of the process.

For people to settle in "untouched tracts of land" you need to have water to irrigate it. Large empty areas on Earth require water for them to be "tamed".

You could ride a long for while claiming to recognize people but have poor name recall by saying "Hey! It's you!" to everybody, but then they could slip in someone you could not have ever met.

Anyone who slavishly uses the serial (aka Oxford) comma, and anyone who slavishly doesn't use it will create unintended word readings. It depends on the context of what is being said and intended.

Its not a matter of who it is "on". It is a matter of intelligent handling of the affair from a HOSPITALITY company. This was an opportunity to build a good-will relationship with people staying at Marriot, which could be easily spun into a positive press event for the company.

But "enlightened capitalism" is a fiction it seems.

It is not the case that this involves a "Search For Antimatter" but rather for the fundamental explanation of why there isn't any loose in the Universe. We can make it, but only by creating an equal amount of normal matter so that they cancel out.

A well aged straw man army (being 40 years old). You would have trouble finding any actual documentary support for any of these claims (that you just made up).

That means there is unlimited demand for renewables and thus it will be impossible to saturate the market with renewables. This is not the argument he wants to get people to stop investing in renewables and invest instead in non-renewables which is what he seems to want (from TFS).

So AI is going to demand all the power we can produce in our lifetimes? What if we don't meet that "demand" and allocate the amount of power that its actual demonstrated contribution to the global economy justifies? Will "AI" get mad and punish us?

The claim is an economic absurdity. The LLM frenzy is right now 2 years and 11 months old (from the time of the public GPT release). Projecting AI power demand, oh 40 years in the future, based on the power demand increase over less than 3 years is ridiculous. The current AI datacenter building race is not going to continue to 40 years. There is no demonstrated necessary AI power demand for some level of economic value.

Yep. Imagine signing up to pay someone a subscription fee that you can get a night's sleep.
