The same was also said of the Segway, Google Glass, 3D TV (with at least 3 different technological approaches). And they all failed.

I would argue that while AI may become transformative, it isnt yet. Even in that BBC interview he admits that you shouldn't trust AI without secondary verification. That renders it little more than a technological geegaw.

Still, at least the stock markets are all hugely inflated on unrealistic AI company valuations. It has been a while since the last spectacular market crash.

It is worse than that because a search engine historically didnt invent stuff that doesnt actually exist while claiming that it did. A chunk of AI citation is "trust me, bro" BS.

This. History is filled with awful people that have achieved amazing things. It doesn't make their achievements any less amazing, or their awfulness any less horrendous.

I am travelling for work right now. 1.) United Airlines now pisses all over BA for service (and is cheaper). 2.) Spending over 24 hours in transit gets harder and harder with age. 3.) I wish that I wasnt speaking at a conference tomorrow.

Can't read the whole paper. Did they control for factors like prior Covid infection and smoking status both of which are associated with poor olfaction and CHD?

Yes. Obviously, particularly given that the quid pro quo was worth £37bn per year.

Yes, because having neighbours with strong economies to whom you can export goods and services is a terrible problem. Who amongst us hasnt hoped for export partners unable to afford to trade with us due to poverty.

Oh sure, but that doesnt change the fact that it 40B is a big deal in terms of keeping their economy ticking over (or rather it would be if it didnt disappear into Milei's cronies pockets). Plus, Argentina, under Milei, has form for handling debt by devaluing their currency.

Their 2024 GDP was $633 billion. So, the aid is potentially worth 6.3% of GDP. That isnt chump change.

Absolutely! And seemingly they also made claymore mines that would definitely have contained stuff that require a percussion cap or similar to initiate the device (as they use C4 and the propellant charge, I believe)
