But it's not human readable anymore, nor backwards compatible. The expectation was that the industry is reasonable, but it proved to be as hard as it would be to push breaking email v2 implementation.

Nice idea. Always wondered why IPv6 went so ambitious with the addressing

While reading articles like this, I feel like we're just in the "denial" stage. We're just trying to look for negatives instead of embracing that this is a definite paradigm shift in our craft.

I don't think the argument is correct. Reasoning LLM will check itself and search multiple sources. It's essentially doing the same mental process as human would. Also consulting multiple LLMs completely breaks this argument.

Tracking people is dystopian. But only collection of data allowed us to train the AI. I don't think EU has issues with tracking people unless a private party does it.

>Count them. 17 companies. 16 in the United States. 1 in Canada. Zero in the EU.

We regulated innovation out of the market. Why are you surprises that the only companies finding your data valuable are in the US?

First CDs would take hour and a half to write with a laser. Once engineers take over the tech, it will might get faster.

Still too much work. Can we get an AI that writes intents for me?

Every regulation has some unforeseen consequences. Most of the time it's impacts are worse than the effect we wanted to regulate from the start. Us humans discard the effects we can't predict as benign even over smaller inconveniences we can see.

How can you know that? That's also such an arbitrary number to obsess about. Setting bilionaire income tax to zero would increase total salary also.

If they could get higher paying job they would already do so. No legal immigrant dreams of working at McDonalds. No illegal immigrant would be employed by McDonalds.

Then we should increase the minimum wage to 200$/hr or more.
