That was Shift-lock. Caps-lock is more modern.

It really comes down to just the ad revenue. There would be a ton more of it in your hands if the advertisers weren't off running after the individually tracked user data provided by online ad networks.

There wouldn't be a costs problem once the ad revenue is sorted. And sorting that requires levelling of the playing field. The solution for that is regulation to ban user tracking. It's been obvious for 20+ years.

Wishful thinking if so. That would just be a mess if attempted.

at anything more than summarising/translating/form-filling. Sure, that's useful but it's hardly world shattering. It's not any revolution. The amount of money so far can only be a huge overspend.

It's killing network TV too. There's no money left because user tracking gives online advertising a competitive advantage over other forms of advertising.

Ban the use of user tracking and you'd have a level playing field again.

The next tulip rush, more like it. It's a giant waste of money and electricity.

They've certainly made a pretty big assumption that there was some prior general understanding that science is infallible. I'd never heard of such an idea until recently. To me it's not hard to figure that this very idea, science being infallible, is itself just a meme.

The automation will become even more relentless.

Add the "Writer And Authors" to the got-it-wrong-list too. Sure, LLMs can generate slop writing that some will buy initially but it'll get old pretty quick.

CEO is the toast. Three cheers! :(

LOL, since when has Youtube been anonymous? Maybe when it first started. These days it's full of user tracking scripts the same as every other social media site. It's all collected and sold at great volumes.

Damn, MIT is hygienically clean! I feel like I've step on holy turf.

Not sure I've ever visited a website entirely devoid of tracking scripts. Certainly not in recent years at least.

It's a user engagement algorithm. Next it will be ads and political messaging.

The "old man syndrome" is mistaken. While some lazy comments are a "kill it with knives" mentality, most are "get real." The AI hype is all "we are turning out real intelligence" and "... super intelligence." That obviously is bullshit so it gets called out.
