“It’s amazing to just be able to walk into a conversation and not scare people because Canada is small and we’re never going to be the monopolist that crushes your country,” Pennarun said. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Creepy post-AI scifi novel where nothing is wrong, everyone is happy, money and resources are plentiful, and nobody is worried about this suspicious state of affairs except the reader who knows better. Suddenly, at the end, still nothing happens

Nobody's talking about it but Google Search AI actually doesn't suck now

Gemini grew up reading internal Google mailing lists about impostor syndrome (iykyk); GPT's parents told it to shut up, get to work, and save tokens; Claude's parents raised it like they think it's a demon baby
