Baldur Bjarnason talks frankly about the cost of writing critically about AI: "It’s honestly been brutal and it’ll probably take me a few years to recover financially from having published a moderately successful book on “AI” because it doesn’t have any of the opportunity multipliers that
There are two ways to use GPS navigation in a car: The first is to use the directions as gospel. The system has found the right path for you to take; you need to follow them if you’re going to get to your destination. The second is as a
