They’ll do what my son has done his whole teenage life, having been banned from social media by me before he even asked for it, and go out and see their mates in real life !

The difference is that you can experimentally show that jumping from a skyscraper is dangerous.

It’s not AGI, but frankly that doesn’t matter.

If a system can perform or positively augment the work done by a human, especially knowledge workers, then it’s got value, it’s just quite hard to put a finger on what the extent of that value is even now, let alone next month.

Auto reader mode in mobile safari for any site I recognise having read previously that has dickovers, cookie bars, poor typography or any other design issue that distracts me from the content.
