- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 1 week ago:
The OP didn’t link to a peer-reviewed well-designed study. They linked to a “news” article that purports to relay the information from the study, but no doubt presents much of it out of context and to an audience who lack the expertise to really understand it.
I was referring to men vs. women, or gays vs. straights, or residents vs. immigrants, or any one of the hundred other arbitrary divisions being constantly foisted onto us.
The study may well be measuring these divisions, or their effects, but that’s not my point at all.

The way I see it, they think GenAI is the new portal to information, the way search has been for the last 25-30 years. They want to control that portal, because it’s worth trillions over time.
This is why they’re cramming it into everything and worrying about use cases later. It’s a land grab.

- Comment on OpenAI is now valued at $157 billion 1 year ago:
I hope this is the case, but I can’t see the creators getting paid more than a small fraction of the value of their work even so.

It has its uses, but it us being massively overhyped.
Having trialled Copilot and a few other AI tools in my workplace, I can confidently says it’s a minor productivity booster.
