Fine in Firefox on Android. Note that the scales of the charts are all different, which makes them hard to compare.

Also, there are lots of charts without comparison so the numbers mean nothing...

It forgot all other locations where the lines are too long to read and you cannot scroll (e.g. the part about embeddings) - from Firefox on Android.

I think you're forgetting about accountability: who's to blame when AI messes up?

I suppose it would help if I could read the whole page: I cannot see the left few characters on Firefox on Android. What did you make this with?

Note that fixing the site won't increase my chances of donating, I'm from the ASML country ;)

I'd like such technology very much, as I lack about 80% of my calf muscles due to an auto immune disease. I can't walk without a (non powered) exo skeleton, and perhaps with these I can walk stairs again.
