Computers can be useful tools or servants, but they are not human; they have no feelings and no dignity, and humans have no more obligation to treat them as equals than we have toward any other machine. If you donât think humans need to get the consent of a power saw or dishwasher before using it, you also shouldnât...

Every self-help book in the airport bookstore will tell you to change your mindset. Fewer of them will tell you the truth: it's often easier to just change your zip code. You've heard the sayings ... You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. If you can't change the people around you, change...
I think clamouring for âsovereign frontier AIâ is what âmiddle powersâ shouldnât do. Instead, they should be looking for (and funding) Pareto-optimal models to serve their critical sectors of the economy. You donât need Fable running triage on customer support tickets, you donât need Kimi K3 to manage your...

Arf!) has just given up his morning barkfest; now the builders have started up over the road with their whining drills and clanging hammers.What's a girl to do, trying to home-record vocals this week?Actually, I've already been playing guitar and bass this morning and I'm resting...
