just another human-encased ego. Also: label, label, label, and (of course) label. If you're not sure, it's snark. He/Him.
It’s striking how much of the return to office pressure is actually from local governments that have built an entire economy around commercial real estate and business from daily commuters.
Dan Dennett suggests that presenting a chatbot as a human is an offense similar to counterfeiting money. As such, he suggests mechanisms that should be in place immediately. This is a subject that can be explored without answering the most speculative questions of general intelligence.

“As the world turns on these wretched charlatans, take pride in every time you’ve seen them for who they are. Take pride in not accepting the terms of prestige that the rich and powerful demand just for existing. Take pride in fighting for causes that support workers’ rights, diversity and fairness.

“And spit venom in the eye of those who would step on another person’s skull to make a dollar.”

Moving Fast and Breaking Things

When someone is suppressed, restrained or otherwise pushed into a corner, the aggressor tends to assume unlimited power.
