Mandatory Training…

Hot take, if your training does not require active input and it's this easy for AI to automate mandatory training, you probably have other issues.

Do I like AI browsers? No, I think the privacy concerns and general usefulness just isn't there. However, just use Microsoft edge? It already has enterprise level security and privacy with most of the "benefits" of an ai browser.

Which IT team is letting users install programs? It seems the major concern from this article is to get users to not use a program since it can be dangerous, but isn't that why IT blocks user installs? I can think of half a dozen programs that can perform similar functions that also won't be installed on my work computer, what's the difference other than headline buzz?

American Infrastructure and AI

American needs to figure out power fast. Electric bills are spiking for everyone as our system strains under the new ai load. China already has double our capacity, and they have invested heavily in the next generation of energy independence with mass solar manufacturing.

I'm hoping nuclear steps up in a big way soon with either small scale modular fission reactors, or economically viable fusion.

Poison Pill?

Another angle that I don't think people are considering is what happens when ai gets good at figuring out what the truth is. Everyone is concerned with ai poison pilling itself by training on ai generated content, but how much false information do people post?

The next generation of ai (or maybe the one after that) will eventually solve how to reliably determine truth without interacting with the real world. However this problem is solved, it will change how the Internet works.
