I love the CRT effect

The WSJ reports: "As part of the settlement agreement, Meta will also make sweeping changes to its services, Facebook and Instagram, including implementing a default two-hour time limit on its apps for users under 18."

The question is of course if these limits are enforced and if they are shared across other services.

Actually in many cases it is for social KPI storytelling. I know some wealthy people and at gatherings they love to tell 5-10min long stories of exclusive processes that they followed to gain something exclusive while dropping names and numbers. The processes are easy to understand for the entire social circle (i.e. not technical or business achievements which they can't easily disclose).

The researchers identified three main dynamics at play. First, the ability to use AI to fill gaps in existing knowledge led workers to take on more and broader responsibilities, such as managers writing code to tackle problems they would previously have outsourced. Second, the ease of starting and finishing new tasks led workers to fit new bits of work into gaps between meetings or larger pieces of work that would once have been breaks or opportunities to chat to a colleague. And third, the ability to hand off tasks to AI agents led to a surge of multitasking, with workers setting a handful of pieces of work in motion and moving back and forth between them as they progressed.

Malick is also unique in that while I love his work, I understand anyone who can't get into them and finds them dull or pretentious. It's as if some people are tuned to his frequency and others just receive white noise. When you're tuned to it, it's a timeless meditative, spiritual experience. Our wedding bands carry the words of the Tree of Life's 'Mrs. O'Brien': 'Unless you love, your life will flash by'. I hope he can finish 'The Way of the Wind' in times for Cannes this year.

For me this is a seminal article, which almost eight years later still raises eloquently the most critical barriers to practical adoption. I read it again after reading the formal verification thread.

A recent study finds that AI usage tilts heavily toward men. Part of the reason: Women worried they might be penalized for using AI.
