Don't have the bucks? This "author" is "BlackRock, the investment giant that manages about $10 trillion." Agreed I'd be very interested to see how this forecast is (or isn't) reflected in their investment strategy.

The New York Times drops the word 'fetus' from its Wordle answers. Surprised it took this long.

No, that's charity that also serves other purposes. Should it only count as charity if it's a bad PR move?

If petroleum is made from dinosaurs, and plastic is made from petroleum, does that mean that plastic dinosaurs are real dinosaurs?

This is a really interesting point. If AI-created work is copyrightable, then I create a music-generating AI, buy a bunch of capacity in the cloud, and create a gigantic and every-growing library of copyrighted music. Then for every new song created, I find the most similar thing I created previously, If I create enough, there will be some close matches. Some will be associated with artists with deep pockets. Many will settle when I sue them. . . . . Profit. This is one of those unforeseen consequences things, except the parent post foresaw it.

Wait. TFA says they discovered this on July 29, and that their "private investigation into the breach is complete." Only now are they going public with this? How much damage could have already been done in the month of August? The breach alone creates a huge liability for them. This delay makes it worse, because they can't blame that on some other bad actor.

Intel didn't "unveil" anything -- they accidentally posted a "product change notification" that listed model numbers for upcoming Skylake Xeon processors, then quickly took it down. What we've learned is that the model numbering system will change, maybe in a way that keeps a similar organization but renames things, and maybe in a way that means substantive changes. We can't tell. In other words, this is semantics. If there's more to be gleaned from the leak, I haven't heard it here.

Actually, the NSA cracked the first 3 of the 4 coded messages themselves, but didn't go public with it until a member of the public had found the solution. Or they claim they did, anyway . . .
