When the alternative is being surrounded by rabid AI enthusiasts who absolutely lose their shit whenever anyone says "no" to them, being left behind is a great choice.
AI has clearly wrecked your ability to read.
If you're a UK media outlet accusing a Big Four accounting firm and a Russian billionaire of tax fraud and you've got it wrong, you can bet there will be a case filed incredibly quickly in the High Court.
And the practical effect of this is you get a race to the bottom: countries compete on how lax they are going to be in enforcing GDPR so as to attract American tech companies. The Data Protection Commission in Ireland…
No, the clue is in the name, "General Data Protection Regulation". If it were a directive, it would be called GDPD.
Someone having share options in a company means they have skin in the game, which means you can trust their opinions more. Someone betting—sorry, investing in a prediction market—means you can have even more confidence…
I have tested Lexis AI once for a legal research point. I wasn't particularly keen on putting the exact details of an actual problem in, but I gave it a summary version. It didn't feel drastically different from using…
Just because the citation exists, what the LLM says it stands for and what it actually stands for are not the same. For testing, I've asked (admittedly last-gen) LLMs to generate legal opinions regarding issues in…
It’s almost as if all the guardrails aren’t real.
The answer is: the market will work it out eventually. Clients will push for more work to be fixed-fee/outcome-based rather than billed hourly. There'll be some small firms who'll successfully grab lots of lower value…
> That's why the EA guys are off beng quants. Or in prison for fraud.
Yes, that's the general rule. You then get lots of interesting exceptions and difficulties in applying that rule: who pays when you have multiple potential defendants (but some of them have died or gone out of business…
If my goal is not seeing AI slop, I don't particularly care whether it is honestly labelled or not.
The difference is OneDrive is moderately useful.
> I think we must make it clear that this is not related to AI at all There are clear AI-specific reasons why it's being crammed down everybody's necks. Namely: someone in management has bet the entire strategy on it.…
Keeping the lights on is fine. But if they remove a feature I rely on, I can't put it back. If they add a feature I hate, I can't remove it. If they jack the price up, I have no real solution to this. If they move…
> you'll slowly get dependent on things that will eventually break in ways you will have no capacity to fix If the commercial provider charging you $10 a month breaks it, you also have no capacity to fix it. Your…
Same in the UK. Votes close at 10pm. Might be a few stragglers left in the queue, so call it 10:15pm. (Exit poll results are embargoed until 10pm.) Ballot boxes are transferred from individual polling station to the…
The actual data is being held by GPs, hospitals, other secondary care providers, and pharmacies. Enough of those providers use systems that all conform to a bunch of common standards and APIs that the NHS app can get…
The metaverse is clearly the future. Zuckerberg said so, after all. Browsers without metaverse integration will be a non-starter.
The metaverse is here to stay! Blockchain is the future! Without integrating metaverse and blockchain features into Firefox, Mozilla is at a significant disadvantage compared to other browsers. Don't get left behind!
Mozilla shouldn't need to worry about adoption numbers though.
They could even make the AI features available as extensions, downloadable from addons.mozilla.org That way, the users who want them can download them, and the users who don't, don't.
> the numbers speak for themselves What numbers? Have Mozilla published any numbers showing their AI experiments have been warmly received by users?
When I'm unconscious in an ambulance, I'm definitely in a position to appreciate all that price transparency the free market has provided, so I can rationally weigh up all my options calmly and objectively while my…
