What's not surprising is that the people who think LLMs improve general productivity are the same who will contract out a site to PwC.

There are a lot of factors contributing to disillusionment among creators, but one big element is that you can work and strive and dedicate years to honing your craft and building an audience and still be fighting for pennies, while the money people will gladly throw billions at the new slop fad.

The backlash against Duolingo going 'AI-first' didn't even matter | TechCrunch
Duolingo faced significant backlash for announcing that it would become an "AI-first" company -- and yet, the app posted strong financials this quarter.

Extraordinarry!
The University of Warwick has paid a lot of money, I'm guessing, for their internet banner ads on the Guardian and elsewhere.
But they can't spell "curiosity". This isn't a US-UK variant. They just, genuinely, have a massive spelling error in their banner ads.

What's the value of academic articles and doing research? The product or the process?
This article has been a long process, and how I've processed the ongoing AI disruption of research. I use it very little, and while it's clearly not all bad, I argue for caution.

I originally thought it a good thing when dog-whistling politicians finally allowed their racism to show overtly. I thought they’d be seen for what they were, booted off the media and thrown out of their parties. I was a fool.
