Is anyone using "AI chatbots" considering they are handing a detailed profile of their interests, problems, emotional struggles, vulnerabilities to advertisers? The machine has "the other end", you know, and we're feeding already enourmously powerful people with more power.

I ran out of time to finish reading the article. He explained the importance of using a camera to observe the results due to the ways a human presence would interfere with the experiment.
When he talks about how Archimedes might have reproduced his device using technologies of the time, did he address what historic alternative might take the place of the camera?
Yes - a window.
An interesting read !
I feel the call of the Muse, and always try to negotiate because, well, I need money to live. To me, creativity feels like a laser I can point in any chosen direction.
Want to make a SAAS ? Sure ! Here are a dozen ideas ! Want to write a Sci-fi short story ? There you go, have your pick between those ! Want to make a video game ? Oh boy, have I got the concepts for you !
Then, it's the execution part. The one I never really got right...How could I focus on just one thing ? One thing to make, when the excitement is long gone ?Until I noticed that if I choose a good project, good in the sense that it feeds my soul, helps my fellow human beings and sadly, not necessarily that it will make me money...It's easier to stick to it.
In the end, the Muse wins. So I just stick with them, and who knows ! Maybe I can buy a beer or two with their fruits :)
Agnes Varda [1] taught me about the cycle of inspiration-creational effort-showing your work. Nowdays I book an expositional space every year in November and somehow all the work needed is done until then.

Excellent. I love that the link takes you straight to the editor, browser keeps the history, clear design, a joy to use. Made me click around just to see who did it so I can applaud a job well done.
My favorite part: "EU users will be confronted with a list of default browsers before they have the opportunity to understand the options available to them. The screen also interrupts EU users’ experience the first time they open Safari intending to navigate to a webpage."
I mean it's like saying that having a choice before being educated by one of the parties among the choices is a bad thing and it looks bad.
"Confronted" not presented. Lol the screen should also state in bold lettering "This freedom is forced on you by EU which we hate. You will pay for this, and it's THEIR fault, not ours. No hard feelings."

experience + emotion = memory
