Imagine saying this with a straight face when literally everyone and their mom has a horror story of fruitlessly struggling with customer support AI for hours over a simple problem that was resolved within 30 seconds once they finally got a live person on the phone.
Tech support is an amazing use case for AI. You are not special. Your question is not hard. It has already been asked. It is already documented. Almost all of the shitty AI support experiences are bad implementations. Tier 1 tech support won’t be a job in a few years

Jensen Huang is unmoggable
Jensen masterfully handles the potential Benioff frame-mog: “Look, I'm very good friends with both of you guys…I always feel like I need to stand on a chair…I just wanna let you guys know that when I'm on an airplane, I'm a lot more comfortable than you guys. And so, through human evolution, they realized that big is unnecessary. There's about a million years of evolution between you and me."

Some high school kids were talking and said “No way Gen X wrote 10-page papers without AI.” Oh, honey. We wrote them without reading the book…the night before they were due…by hand and in cursive. We are not the same.

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

AI guys a few years ago: “We’re going to make everyone’s lives better” AI guys today: “You will never get another dinner reservation. You don’t even deserve a dinner reservation.”
I regret to inform you all the the logical end state for restaurant reservations is a bidding system where agents can big against each other for spots they want. Free reservations will no longer be a thing in 3yrs

Researchers spent 500 hours and $70,000 and found LG TVs logging plain text transcripts in standby, mapping every device in the house, and feeding it to LG's ad arm Unplug the internet and it saves the files until you plug back in. LG says its TVs don't record ambient conversations. The evidence begs to differ. 216 million of these are sitting in living rooms. Where are the regulators? Writer: Daniel

this story is absolutely crazy. @maxwelltani uncovered a network of paid actors posing as conservative political pundits and disseminating AI-generated, anti-Dem misinformation on YouTube semafor.com/article/09/02/20…

I wrote about a guy running a network of secret "ghost creators," paying actors $26 per video to read AI-assisted "anti-Dem" videos on YouTube. In just a few months, the channels got 45 million views, more than media companies like WaPo, the New Yorker, and, sadly, Semafor.

The most consistent theme of conservatism is being completely unable/unwilling to understand how a thing is bad until it happens to you.
Milo Yiannopoulos: "I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, they put you in manacles, everybody is arrested like an MS 13 gang member. It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."
