More than any other public voice, Doctorow's AI take comes closest to articulating how I feel about the whole thing. Is it a bubble? Yes. Does that mean it's worthless? No. Do I worry about copyright? Mostly no, though I worry a lot about labor & monopolies, not to mention bia…

AI Weekly's analysis
  • Sequoia calculated the AI sector needs roughly $600 billion in annual revenue to justify current infrastructure spending, while OpenAI generated about $3.4 billion last year.

Every time someone explains their approach to AI I hear this old George Carlin bit in my head, "Have you ever noticed that when you're driving that anyone who's driving slower than you is an idiot, and that anyone driving faster than you is a maniac!?"

I was working on a website with a colleague recently, and they asked if I inserted some typos to prove the site wasn’t made with AI. I was like, “No. I’m dyslexic, and my code editor doesn’t have spell check.” I also said, “thank you,” and meant it.
