In real time we’ve seen “LLMs are the future” becomethe AI research into AGI is the future”. What’s the next movement of the goal post?

Have you ever seen an instagram post where someone flashes wealth they don’t truly have? Be it a rented Lamborghini or a stack of twenty dollar dolls? Or a stack of ones with a couple hundred obfuscating the other denominations?

There are more incentives to flaunt success then bankruptcy. Even if the success isn’t real.

Hi Philip! This tool looks amazing!

My company specializes in selling to underserved communities in the AMEA region. Can your product help me connect with LGBT customers specifically in the Sudan and Saudi Arabia? Thanks!

PS can I get their exact addresses as well as the addresses of their family members and community leaders?

An administrator would’ve missed a promotion.

Thus the conclusion should be heavily scrutinize future infoq .com articles and perhaps future articles by the same author Eran Stiller.

We shouldn’t detach responsibility from the publisher and author.

People need to stop giving Musk credit for the macro economic conditions of 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.

A lot of the stock gains had nothing to do with Teslas executive decisions during that time frame.

> It doesn't really matter if the result is called AI or not

I strongly disagree. Wildly overvalued companies disrupt the economy and present huge risks - see Tesla or Nvidia (currently valued at $100m per employee - $3T market cap / 30k employees)

I bought it for iOS and it failed to load on my iPhone 15 pro despite showing compatibility and successfully installing (multiple times).

I have no clue how they can sell games that don’t even start and the App Store allows it.

Edit: looks like it was fixed in May 2024 including a reset of its App Store reviews? So you can sell a product that doesn’t work at all and Apple will flush all your bad reviews when you get it working? Nice.

My prediction is it’s going to increasingly call traditional software under the hood but credit the AI as innovation.

“Knowing somebody at Google” has long been the best customer support route for non enterprise customers, which represents almost all google customers (per capita).

People like watering down good versus bad as if it were binary. They don’t care to think a good person can sometimes be bad, or that many crimes are crimes of opportunity, because then they’d have to question their own goodness
