Not sure why McKinsey is wondering how to sell something with "No Measurable Benefits," that has been a key consulting skill for years before AI.

That has been true before AI as well. Companies seem to think "people will just learn it" or "it's the same as before with a few changes;" and as a result training and all the other stuff never gets done right. Companies then wonder why they have problems and the promised benefits never happen.

Yea, like those woke pundits and politicians who got all upset the AP stuck with "Gulf of Mexico." Sweet salty tears, indeed.

Well, you do have Texas and its food disparagement statute; and then some Texans decided to take on Oprah.

I don't find that odd, they all work din fields where they were discovering phenomenon and had a natural curiosity about what drives our world, so an interest or belief in unknown forces waiting to be discovered would be sensible; that's far different from ignoring known science when your life is at stake. It's not like his cancer was such that he had nothing to lose trying what he did, he just had to do his thing. As a result, we lost him way too early.

I suspect as AI Trains AI you will wind up with more garbage as errors proliferate.

I also suspect that thing like discovery would help reveal what was used to train the data; I wonder if sources of data are retained somewhere in the data set.

The link in the TFO takes yo to a page that says

It was offered for sale in 2016 for $195K. I suspect other personal items to be trashed were instead grabbed by employees.

This could be a real win for lawyers, mega billable hours as heavyweights slug it out. I suspect the opt-out agreement includes text the studios won't agree to , perhaps an agreement not t sue and allow use of material already used.

They can issue one without a driver present, as well as speed camera citations from just a photo, so why not for an illegal turn? At worst, it should be relatively easy to change the traffic code to account for driverless cars.

If the wind is blowing to the sky dark then the cost of wind and solar is zero; that really keeps average costs down...

In many ways the industry is a fault because companies can't properly manage construction. Between design changes, not building to license, customizing each unit they basically created a losing process. The AP1000 was designed to be a standard design to keep costs down but the US proved even with that they haven't really learned how to build nukes in a cost effective manner.

Back in the old days, firms mad either a point to stay in touch with former employees and ease their exit; if only to ensure ethe had a favorable impression of their old firm if and when they were in a corporate position to hire consultants. They had alumni networks and events, and even offered some benefits such as corporate discounts, etc. Leaving need not be permant, I knew people who had left, done a corpoarate giog, and came back at a higher level. Sounds like those days are gone.

Sure they do. The skills needed is to be cheaper than the current workforce so you have a much larger margin.

Lots of great points. The first thing a D president will do is fire all the R appointees, not just the traditional political appointees who leave when the President does. Then the next R does the same, resulting in a very unstable governance environment that will negatively impact the economy as companies can't plan long term in such a regulatory environment. Then there's the whole "lets get revenge on the other side by prosecuting/investigating them" payback game.

Very true, but one side is gloating over their wins and will be screaming when the very environment they created is turned on them. Not good in any way.

Interesting insight. I suspect the results are due to the data used for trading. Unless it scrapes and is able to parse a large number of languages any output will be biased to its data and provide a viewpoint slanted to one geopolitical area. In addition, if one POV is overrepresented I think it would tend to favor that one, even if the amount of data is not well correlated with the % of a population who holds that view.
