Hmm, let’s see, one country was ruled by a murderous dictator using chemical weapons against his own people and crushing dissidents to a pulp in secret prisons. The other is a mature, functioning democracy with rule of law and a free press.

Yes, yes, I can see how you think that’s exactly the same.

Do you ever wonder why most Europeans has about 40 telecom companies offering you internet at your particular address? Regulation and anti-monopoly works.

That may be the case but a Science article on the resume is still something every working scientist covets.

Because the journals provide a quality gate. To be published in, say, Nature is a career peak for most scientists. While counting references to a paper can tell you some things about its relative merit, it’s not as clear an indicator as having a PNAS, Cell or similar on your resume.

They have created a market for their name so it self-perpetuates.

Når vi alle bliver fyret. Husk på at produktet konkurrerer imod blot en årsløn pr team før du kan se en effekt.

The “now the tech is done can we rationalise the dev team?” fallacy just drives me up the wall. Mostly because I’ve actually worked in environments where those questions were seriously pondered and had to defend against it.

The best part is when some dufus goes “I’ve got a great idea and the grit to see it through. I just need to hire a tech person to do it for me”.

Why do you think the mega rich are so keen to invest in robotics? With AI and robotics, there is no palace guard that’ll turn sides when everyone’s had enough.

The Wall and American Idiot always springs to mind when I think of story albums.

In a world where the governance of AI was adequate and the spoils it created redistributed to benefit all (and thus thoroughly look after those who lost their job from AI replacement) I would LOVE AI to be created.

In a world where either or both of those aren’t properly in place, I’d sooner be without it.

By extension I’m saying the US is pretty much the worst place for AI to be invented.

Oops, how embarrassing. I stand corrected and tip my hat.
