A thought provoking essay on impact of AI systems civic institutions.

Seems like we are clearly in the _“post peak Apple”_ era now. This update is just for the sake of update; iPad lineup is (even more) confusing; iPhone cash-cow continues but at slower growth rate; new product launches - ahem! Vision Pro - have seen low to negligible adoption; marginal improvements to products so consumers are holding out longer on to their devices.

My two cents having used AI in programming. It is merely a tool to create. It is not the creator yet, at least in its current iteration.

AI is to programming what electric drill were to wood working before they were invented. It made life easy; it sped up the process and may be it did a job a bit finer. But you still need to understand where to drill and how to create the thing. There are a number of analogies like this you can find.

Really cool and helpful. Is there anything similar for R?

This is perhaps the best example of how NOT to provide privacy policies. Some snippets

2. What kinds of information do you collect? We collect information that (i) you provide to us or authorize us to collect as a result of using our products (e.g. social media accounts, call and text logs, etc.) and (ii) information about your use of our products and services (e.g., browser type, search categories, location).

5. How do I stop the collection of my information? In order to stop further collection of information by us, you will need to stop using our products and services.

_I never signed up to your services._ Never heard about you and never used your products.

The links to remove your information go nowhere. Is there a way to report this site?

If you feel truly happy about someone else but at the same time not let it reflect on you, then I would say you are minority. The first part of my sentence is achievable and is genuinely positive , at least in a way. The second part - not letting it reflect on you - is IMO most people struggle.

I was a software developer for 12 years then switched to finance. I trade fixed income now! I hate it sometimes and miss the good-ol software development.

This. Some of the news paper sites mentioned in the list do a good reporting and I subscribe to a few. Quality reporting is not cheap or easy and takes efforts. Let’s pay for quality else we would be left with click-bait, as supported and no information content news.

Thank you!
