It is a trend I saw countless of times in my professional experience: let's do exactly the same thing as before, but it is now, so it is not the same and so we expect a different outcome. And in the end, the result is the same and the project abandoned soon after being released.

"For home I mostly just need to do bills. Maybe reading or writing." If so, why do you use a computer and not a phone or a tablet? (or maybe just an eink reader).

I think that a lot of people are "switching" to the computer when they want to do things that go beyond what you do on your phone in the bed. And especially in a professional context.

Common things are like:

- I want to write a letter, and looking at the website at the same time to copy elements.

- I want to work on an excel sheet, while looking at pdf documents and websites. For example i'm doing a monthly expenses excel sheet, and i want to look at all my bills, connect to providers website when i don't receive bills. This kind of experience is very very painful on a mobile OS, because the constant "window" switch to go from excel to each info in each document is terrible.

I did not hear about that! Such a shame

Just looked at the transcription but it looks like a very good general public summary of all the major terms/concepts/bricks of AI.

Taiwanese were raised with a spirit of freedom and democracy, so no, they will not go along with China if it was to happen.

Look at how HK was destroyed.

What will probably happen is that the smartest and skillets one will flee, most probably to US and Europe, to our advantage. There will be a carnage of repression with abusing jailing and deportation for the one staying to resist to défend freedom.

And China will import mass of Chinese immigrants to replace the majority of the population of the island in a few years. Then it will become just another shitty Chinese island with a weak economy and little activity. But the technology parks will certainly not continue to run like if it was nothing.

In the same way that HK is mostly deserted nowadays.

Someone up for a tldr? Because after 10 mins reading I still see no meaningful content except the usual word wasting stories of the Washington post.

Still no idea what the mystery is about exactly?
