Google takes AI propaganda to the movies
Google is very upset that a lot of the public don’t really like AI. You might think this was because of AI slop and explicit threats to their jobs, but Google is pretty sure it’s because people saw the Terminator films. So Google is funding films about how AI is good really. Mira Lang at […]

Open source projects reject AI code over copyright concerns
I asked a couple of months ago: if AI code was such an obviously superior engineering method, why didn’t we see AI code everywhere in open source?
