Apart from the 😲 aspect, WTF do they mean by 'curated'?

Getting rid of FAs for starters. Then telling investors what to invest in.
In theory this could be a good thing but on the other hand could well be manipulated to "preferential" markets. I'll now remove my tin foil hat.

But that's all covered by 'personalised'. I'm linguitically interested by what they think 'curated' means.
BTW, seems a bit cruel to get rid of @First Aspect via AI, even if you do think his sense of humour is dodgy.

Just listening to a tech podcast from US (Tech News Weekly) and at the start they are reviewing progress on the Musk/Altman trial but get a bit sidetracked discussing the testimony of Ilya Sutskever (co-founder and cheif scientist at OpenAI widely hailed as the technical brains behind OpenAI, even Musk sings his praises). And he has written that scaling up LLMs won't get us to AGI and that we are on the wrong track to achieve AGI. Apparently a view widely held across the industry.
I found it an interesting listen (1st report in the current podcast).
Also how both Musk and Altman are basically administrators/money men and they hate being seen that way and desperately want to be seen as tech brains (which they aren't).

Yet I read it the other way, All your eggs will be in certain oligarch baskets.
I really must rid myself of this tin foil hat.

I have a great sense of humour. It is very good. The best, maybe in history. Much better than Obama. That guy isn't funny at all.

I'm not sure I understand this, but from what I've gathered, if you're doing coding using AI, you have to use tokens to pay for the privilege. And my assumption from this is that it's costing a lot more than users are paying directly... I guess that's the capitalist model of getting users hooked (as with hard drugs) at knock-down prices, then ramping the cost up.

It's starting to sound ever so slightly like a Ponzi scheme.

There's not quite enough questioning going on about whether AI will, in fact do everything the AI companies selling it tell you it will do. It feels in some ways like everything we were told about household automation in the 60s (okay not me personally) and 70s, and again when it came to the internet of pointless things more recently.
Hand up who feels like they have to do less around the house yet?

How about getting rid of your washing machine and going back to a single tub and a mangle? Washing day's Monday. Of course that would have usually have been only the women, so maybe you aren't doing less around the house.

I think the washing machine was already a thing by the 60s.
But your answer does show that most families now need a second income to be able to afford not to have to do some work.

Am I being dense, but isn't a citation something that you've read, understood, and incorporated into your own argument?
Must admit I never did get the reason for automating endnotes, bibliographies, etc., as I just typed them up when I typed in the quotations, which all helped me to put everything in place in my own mind. I always went waaaay over the wordcount, and the process of condensing the argument is a major factor of the understanding what you've written.
Mr Miller makes it sound like cobbling together a paper, whether you've engaged with the material or not, is more important than developing understanding.

Alternatively, I now have a shower most days. Sometimes more than one. So comparing that to the weekly Sunday nit bath, I'm now doing more. Swings and roundabouts.

Well it doesn't, even though it might be true.
