Or this is just PR, they all call for a slowdown which makes them the "good guys". Alas, China is not slowing down so we can't slow down either because, you know, nationalism. Therefore we never slow down but the billionaire AI guys argue its not their fault.

Is there any other kind?

"That was terrible"

Just post the number of points they received and the total possible points - now everyone can decide on their own what grade that is

Historically speaking, most humans are non-violent right up until you threaten their preferred protein abstraction layer. Vegans have tofu; carnivores have brisket; programmers have semicolons. Remove any of the three and the error handling gets energetic.

Not really.

The vast majority of attorney's get paid an hourly rate. Efficiency is not something they are interested in because it does not change their income and most of their work is not so time sensitive as to allow for rate increases if they can work faster. Why would anyone choose to do more work (in the same # of hours) for the same pay?

Reducing the firms overhead is where they can make more money - fewer associates, paralegals and admins - but if AI can't do the work better than the humans then it isn't worth the risk.

It does widen the gap for insider information and trading on it -- which does screw the little guy (or at least little guy traders). If you're a long term investor this really should not make a difference.

Worth noting: Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant wasn’t offline because it was unsafe to operate, but because Japan rewrote its nuclear rulebook after Fukushima. The post-2011 requirements are much stricter (earthquakes, tsunamis, backup power, security), and it’s taken years to get approvals. Reactor 6 got through first since it’s newer and already had upgrades.

The restart push is mostly about energy reality: Japan imports most of its fuel, LNG got expensive, and cutting emissions without nuclear is hard. Local opposition is still a factor though, especially given the seismic risks, which is why the rest of the plant is still years away from full operation — if it ever gets there.

Exactly. This isn’t a technology problem, it’s a management impulse-control problem.

We figured out decades ago that not every role needs a workstation that can land the space shuttle. Yet somehow with AI, we’ve collectively decided that the solution is to duct-tape it onto every workflow and hope “synergy” happens.

Tools only create leverage when there’s already something to leverage. Giving AI licenses to people whose jobs are already bounded by policy, approvals, or human judgment doesn’t create productivity—it just creates meetings about why productivity didn’t magically increase.

But targeted deployment requires understanding the work, trusting technical leadership, and saying “no” to vendors. Much easier to buy licenses in bulk, declare victory, and blame employees when the ROI slide stays blank.

The plan is to take the tariffs off in time for the economy to bounce back around election time. There is no rush to appease the masses until it is time for them to vote.

Awwww. These non-Americans are sooooo cute. Where were millimeters and kilograms when the Reich Fuhrer and Emperor were on your doorstep?

Granted, that sort of save likely wouldn't happen today, but we are like your uncle who lives off their championship playoff run in high school 50 years ago. Except we have nukes. So don't be Bill Hader at Conan's party and start something you can't finish. Oh and good luck with the new German military build-up!!

This means you
