If humans are far less capable than AI, why are AI vendors wanting our input? Why don't they just get everything they need from AI?

This has become obvious to the neutral non-ideologically driven middle. Thank God someone from the system has finally said it.

This is a real description. He uses EVs as an example, but there are many others. It is the pure scale of China that means that with equal dedication and initial investment, they will scale up faster and drop costs faster. It is almost impossible to compete without having a

Things have improved, but the deeper point from the researchers still holds in spirit: LLMs are not doing formal symbolic reasoning like a computer algebra system; They are very good probabilistic reasoners.

When the environment changes, we humans have a weapon that we produce to allow ourselves to adapt, adjust and survive. It is called Art. Even when all else seems lost, Art survives and nourishes the artist and the community, with insight, truth, honesty, acceptance, hope,

This is the nature of disruption, the new solution does not spring from the old. The incumbents are trapped by their outmoded competencies. The new solution brings new capabilities. Honda, Toyota, Ford, the writing's been on my wall for about three years. An EV is not what they

Autonomous transport is one of the six forces of the apocalype, or one of the six forces for abundance, depending whether your country has the cultural flexibility to adapt.

Media is one of the six disruptive forces. Diluting human content on social media with automated, regurgitated AI slop is a threat to our ability to think through and forge new concepts of the future. China is awake to this threat. via Grok: The WeChat Public Platform Operating

AI is one of the six forces of the apocalype, or of abundance. The key step in building a LLM is the curation of the input data. Get that wrong and the whole stack is compromised. Just as a librarian curates a library or editor curates a publication, curation matters to AI it

Humanoid Robots, and AI integration in production and distribution are two forces of the apocalype - or ofabundance. Here China's industry pursues vertical integration and is advancing quickly.

Unhappy with the Grok button on posts. It explains the post. But if the post is wrong, I don't even want it explained to me. That just fills my head with rubbish. The grok button on posts should first determine if the content of the post is fabricated or not. And if its

Here is perhaps the most fundamental driver of our changing culture, an environment of goods and services produced by systems integrating AI. The nature of being Human is already being radically altered by screens and algos, but its just the start. How we cope, how we redefine

Here, Ori Goldberg, artist in words, explains the catch 22 pathology driving the trauma within Israel and without. He captures the cultural bind with great sensitivity. Israel is trapped in an organising system, and belief system, that is dysfunctional to its purpose. It lacks

Its a question of illusion: do you fall for the illusion that AI makes you cleverer? If so, you are trapped. Worse, you mind is adapting to a low-cognitive performance pattern. If you realise that AI doesn't make you clever, that you still have to work on that yourself, then you

AI is certainly a driver of disruption. Education and intelligence is no longer a priority in employment, diligence and dedication is. If employers need reliable people of integrity, more than they need intelligence, then we may be headed to an age where the most respected

This is not civil behaviour. We are watching a collapse of civilisation with Israel's attrocious behaviour towards Palestinians. Humans do not appear to have the organising systems needed to successfully manage the use of our technology.
