I would also say it is because for GenAI to be maximally impactful the underlying work must change dramatically. We just aren’t able to pivot quickly enough regardless of whether or not the product is legit or snake oil.
Only a quarter of AI initiatives have delivered the expected return on investment, according to a survey of 2,000 CEOs.

Companies are struggling to get value from #GenAI. Most of the adoption of the technology is based on FOMO.

Most AI spending driven by FOMO, not ROI, CEOs tell IBM
: Just 1 in 4 bets paying off so far

Always worth a listen
Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

To anyone living in a state that doesn't respect you for who you love or who you are: Illinois has a place for you.

You are seen, you are celebrated, you are protected, and you are welcome here in our state.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Do not watch the Baron Harkonnen Hour of Power tonight. He will make you furious. Don't give him that power.
Watch your favourite old movie, snuggle up with one you love, eat chocholates, have a drink.
Enjoy your evening, sleep good, read about it tomorrow by independent journos you trust. 📽️🍫🥂😁

My life is clearly broken into two distinct periods: before I saw the intro to Katamari and after.

Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

I cannot attend IL, but if you can and want to and need support - gas money, food money, etc - PM me. Happy to help however I can.
The 50501 Movement—or 50 states, 50 protests, one day—is garnering support throughout social media over its plan to stage demonstrations across the nation to "fight Fascism" on February 5.

You can find your state location for protesting tomorrow here: www.newsweek.com/50-states-an...

this, but, like, everything (though they are still pretty trash at music theory)
I'm nothing special, but I have tutored maths in Oxford for almost twenty years. And, I'm telling you—these AI reasoning models are better maths tutors than me! They know more, they're more patient and they will answer questions at 2 in the morning. Higher Ed is not ready for what's coming

For anyone who voted for this just know: I was happily working on multiple grants that would have supported your children and that you would have expected to just be there for them.

Because that is what a civilized society is.
