I think this article's 40% estimate is too low. That said, one of the best uses of AI I've found is summarizing terms and conditions and privacy policies and pointing out areas of potential concern.

This is a very long article that paints a horrid picture of Sam Altman. A former board member summarized Altman as someone with a strong desire to please people in any given interaction paired with "almost a sociopathic lack of concern for the consequences that may come from deceiving someone." The focus of this piece is a roughly 70-page set of secret memos compiled by former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever in fall 2023. Seriously, where have all the good leaders gone?

I've been using WisprFlow on my Mac and iPhone for about two months now. It's simply the best dictation software available right now. I'll give this “Google AI Edge Eloquent” app a try, but if it can't also work on the Mac, I'm not sure it can make me switch.

Apparently, they've reduced the value placed on a human life when calculating environmental impact to $0. There are a lot of things that disgust me about our current administration and its decisions. This is just one of them. You don't like the $11.7 million VSL? Great, ratchet it down a bit. But taking it to zero? That's quite a statement.
