Itâs the machines man! Theyâre toying with us. Theyâre making us see things that arenât really there. Thinking thoughts we never thought of before.
Then comes a day when they make us push a button and then Pooooof weâre gone.
I suggest we toke hard and distort them before itâs too late.
every new technology has growing pains, trial and error
like every other science there will be challenges and break-throughs
the vast majority will use technology for good and there will be a few idiots that will abuse it
progress will eventually rule the day pessimist archive is a reality check for the neo-luddite bed-wetting technophobes
The AI Bubble and the U.S. Economy: How Long Do âHallucinationsâ Last? This paper argues that (i) we have reached âpeak GenAIâ in terms of current Large Language Models (LLMs); scaling (building more data centers and using more chips) will not take us further to the goal of âArtificial General Intelligenceâ (AGI); returns are diminishing rapidly; (ii) the AI-LLM industry and the larger U.S. economy are experiencing a speculative bubble, which is about to burst.
Why pay a celebrity podcast host millions when you can create your own using AI?
Inception Point AI is attempting to do just that, as the company builds a stable of AI talent to host podcasts, and eventually become broader influencers across social media, literature and more. Amid the high costs for producing narrative podcasts and pricy, short-term contracts for popular hosts, the idea here is being able to own, scale and control the talent (unlike those off-the-cuff humans) and produce shows at a minimal cost.
while doing some research earlier this week co-pilot offered to make me a personal podcast
i took them up on it with a related subject that i know well
co-pilot let me know it would take a couple of minutes and would notify me when ready
so far, so good
once it was ready i played the seven minute podcast which was in a conversational format between a male and female
it was very basic and co-pilot did a good job illustrating the subject framework
the cool thing is that it offered into more advanced/deeper detail if i wanted

Dr. Joleen Liang is Co-founder of Squirrel AI, which pioneered adaptive learning at scale, first in China and now in the US. By 2021 its technology had served over 60,000 public schools in 1,200 cities across Asia. Squirrel AI has implemented large knowledge graphs mapping out the main concepts in the K-12 math, science, and language curriculum. The Squirrel learning tablet actively observes student behavior (including eye-tracking during video lessons) and adapts its presentation and testing to individual learning patterns.
this channel/podcast is excellent
very good analysis
"Today, we're breaking down the MIT study claiming 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing - and why this headline is misleading the entire market. The report, based on just 52 interviews and 150 survey responses, has been cited as a reason for AI stock crashes, but the methodology is deeply flawed and the findings are being wildly misinterpreted. What the study actually reveals is that while individual employees are getting massive value from AI tools (90% use LLMs regularly vs only 40% of companies buying subscriptions), organizations are struggling with implementation - not because the technology doesn't work, but because of leadership buy-in, poor change management, and organizational dysfunction."
