Quoting "$800" is meaningless without a baseline price. The actual price increase is between 10% and 12%. Which is annoying and stupid, but hardly shattering news.

No one used Chegg for serious study. It is an answer platform. And how there are free AI resources that provide even better answers. So Chegg is doomed.

EMT does not mean the market is always "rational". It states, roughly, that there is no consistently risk-adjusted _profitable_ way to predict market movements. Within EMT, there are strong forms (never possible) and weak forms (possible with insider information).

But this weeks movements in the stock market in no way disproves market efficiency or the wisdom of passive/index investing. To the contrary, I haven't seen any geniuses pop up saying "I told you last week that this was going to happen, and I made a ton of money shorting NVDA".

They added AI to their Logi Tune software not long ago. After some backlash, they made it able to be disabled, and not run in the background all the time. But subscription mice are the second step in the wrong direction. I've used Logitech mice since 1991, but I think I'll be looking somewhere else next time.

The problem with Microsoft search isn't a lack of AI. The problem is it doesn't work. It does not effectively search your hard disk, instead trying to pull in stupid web results that are irrelevant.

Everything (voidtools.com) fixes what's broken in Windows search and is fast, lightweight, and simple. And doesn't need "AI"

They were pointless. Last thing I need after spending thousands on some hardware is a sticker to advertise that I spent thousands on the hardware.

Plus, cows are a renewable resource. They operate off ordinary grass without any additional greenhouse gasses required, and turn it into leather and delicious steaks. Truly an environmental miracle.

which half.

let's criminalize fiction books ... and movies ... and pickup lines. No lie is too small!

First off, it's not 50% of _work_. It's 50% of studios. The stupid headline make it sound like half the work is being done by AI, when clearly it's not.

And then if you RTFA, it's not 50%. It's 31% use AI tools, and 18% have a colleague who does. That doesn't make 50% of anything.

In short, it's the dumbest summary on Slashdot I've read in a long time, and that's saying something.
 

is probably the best place to "discuss" the proper valuation of reddit as a public traded company

The governing body investigation did not find that he didn't cheat - it instead said they could not conclude that he did cheat. The distinction matters because the first statement implies a proof of innocence, which was not given, but instead the conclusion of a statistical analysis, by a single person, was that it could not be shown *from the data they looked at* that cheating did occur.

Lance Armstrong won seven medals before finally being caught.

...was an imagination of a dystopian future where the government watches you constantly, but the truth is turning out to be far worse. It's a future where advertisers convince you that you really want to buy cargo planes full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong.

The proponents seem to have a naive believe that "government run" equals free from outside interests. In fact, the opposite is true.
Government run: Post Office. Private: FedEx
Government run: DMV Private: Costco

It is extremely unlikely that taking over legacy utilities will "lower costs, greater investments in the grid and improved performance". Public utilities are already heavily government regulated with mandated rates of returns. There's no magic want that both lowers costs and has greater investments in the grid -- those are opposites. Hopefully it doesn't go through. But there are a lot of dumb ideas that get passed, so who knows.

The 5G mind control implants have got this covered.
