Humans have been working on management for a very long time without fully figuring it out. It seemed like a thing that would need to be designed by people, at least for a while. It turns out that organizing work is just one more thing AI can learn to do. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/the-dot-an...

We have heard the story before: our magical models are becoming so powerful that they are “too dangerous to release.” Remember GPT-2 in 2019? Today, nobody cares because the model is useless for almost any serious application. Jay Latta | 15.09.2026 www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-dra...

Is AI drama the new soap opera?
For days, the debate has been raging again about whether “AI” is too dangerous. The warnings are not new.
