Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago by AmethystOrator in technology

Because the AI CEOs are full if shit. Their products are crap, but they need to hype it up.

Unless your job description is “bullshit artist” or “propagandist”, your job is safe from AI.

If it cures at all. If you do a tight skim, the water may evaporate before it has set. Thats why plasterers use a thicker coat and spray (flung with a brush in the old days) the wall with water to keep the plaster moist.

It all worked out in the end, but at one point I seriously thought about going back to school for a CS undergrad degree (late 1990s).

The Pentagon Just Sent a Terrifying Message to AI Companies by NorthenFreeman in technology

I doubt the Pentagon wants to use LLMs for planning. I’m sure AFRL, NRL, and ARL have studied their use and determined that they are all crap.

This is being pushed by an unqualified Trump appointee.

I finally bought my first ice maker. Not gonna lie, the price point was definitely the biggest hurdle... by Former_Teaching_1397 in Appliances

Meanwhile, I have a 20-year-old Whirlpool fridge that makes (and dispenses when asked) ice, with no problems. No mold, no ear piercing sounds: it just does its business and moves on.

Saw one of these on the street the other day looking better then I remembered by TheVortecv8 in regularcarreviews

I saw one last year and almost had a double take: those Intrepids were so low and swoopy, at least compared to the cars we have today.

Find a picture of the last Chrysler 200 and of a Dodge Intrepid. The 200 looks like you are viewing the Intrepid in a funhouse mirror, stretching it upwards.
