  • I was sitting in a restaurant the other day and staring at the menu. It was Italian and none of the things made sense. Too wordy and not clear what was meat and what was fancy cheese. The waiter was utterly useless - too busy to help and when present, not answering my questions about what would be a good simple pasta in white sauce.

    I took a photo and asked Claude what’s a good white sauce pasta which would be like Alfredo.

    It found two options I hadn’t even looked at. AI is good at sorting through complexity. But I don’t just mean AI as in LLMs. It needs a lot more tools and knowledge to be useful. So what you need is a smart system which may or may not have AI as a component.



  • Facebook has known since over a decade that under 13s are on their networks and instead of booting them, the CEO (whoever he is) decided to make the platforms more addictive to under 13s. Real quote from the LA court case going on right now.

    Also, the new CEO of Xbox Gaming is ex-AI Head of Microsoft and the ex-Head of under-13 policy at Facebook. So she did everything the CEO (whoever he is) asked her to do, including making the platforms more addictive and pushing back on govt intervention.
