I think "theatre studies and a wasted youth full of bad decisions" might not have been what she wanted to hear.

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

Opinion | Young People Are Using A.I. to Skip the Hardest Part of Growing Up Artificial intelligence is replacing young people's social intuitions.

“Even casual A.I. use exposes users to a level of praise humans rarely experience from one another, which is not great for any of us, but is especially risky for young people still working on their social skills,” Clay Shirky writes.

My video colleague and I have been giggling about these for days now. These are stills from a promo video of our current project for an expo. It's me and another colleague doing a guitar battle on Mars.

And in the time of monsters the magicks grew more potent

Thank goodness. Godspeed to both of them!

What happened to Sir Strawberry I ?
