Le Kenya juge "inacceptable" que ses ressortissants soient trompés par des promesses d'emplois civils bien rémunérés en Russie pour être ensuite utilisés comme "chair à canon" par l'armée russe, a dénoncé, mardi, le n°2 de la diplomatie kényane. Une visite à Moscou à ce sujet est prévue.

“You had thought that maybe, oh, because you could be more productive with AI, then you save some time, you can work less. But then really, you don’t work less. You just work the same amount or even more.”

The first signs of burnout are coming from the people who embrace AI the most | TechCrunch
Because employees could do more, work began bleeding into lunch breaks and late evenings. The employees' to-do lists expanded to fill every hour that AI freed up, and then kept going.

It’s really fascinating. I created a few songs/covers (?) in Swahili, a language I didn’t expect it to be able to use due to relative lack if of training data.
But it actually improves the cheesy “Jambo Bwana” song.
