uBo is the only reason I find browsing the web at all tolerable anymore. As a test I turned it off to view this article and almost crashed my browser with a dozen auto play video ads This would mean I would find the energy to get over anything that is holding me on chrome, like saved passwords etc.

didnt the archive owner only start doing this after Patokallio revealed his identity for no good reason. Given the legal liability involved in maintaining that service, there is a threat to what Patokallio is doing so it doesn't seem entirely unsympathetic to do something in retaliation..

Before if you had a crap idea you atleast had to face the social back-pressure of explaining it to someone at a local hackers meetup and trying to convince them to build it for you..

>When people see an artifact, they make assumptions about the process that was used to create it. Without even thinking about it, they assume the creator had a basically human state of mind. This assumption is no longer true. Things can be broken in ways that weren’t previously possible, and old proxies of underlying quality like syntax and grammar are useless. AI produced artifacts are not produced by the same process as human ones, and this difference, while extremely subtle in statistics, makes itself obvious when you try to interact with and build on the artifact in human ways.

Once Humans just had oral language, and we could us words to pass ideas from one human mind to another. Then with writing ideas could pass to minds that weren't immediately close together in space or time.. and with this we made complext global spanning civilization. When words just become noise, that one has to be suspect of each one as to whither they'er coming from another human mind, or just a statistical process, can this civilization even survive?

I don't think the atomic task based view it the right way to draw conclusions about coming business automation. There is more likely thresholds, after which it makes sense to automate entire sections, or business processes. Creating strange hybrid working situations with Automation foisted on people, will create both the overhead of the IT systems, and the inefficiencies of people trying to deal with edgecase accuracy problems and the like, or lack of skill development paths etc.
