@cmuratori I thought the point of OP was to elicit the unhinged anti-AI sentiment in the replies. Mission accomplished!

Since people seem to be confused about this, here is a more complete explanation:
I thought the point of the OP was that it is important (for any reason) whether or not something can be determined reliably to be a Monet painting or an AI derivative of a Monet painting - as in, if given an A/B test, can an average (or even well-trained) human tell the difference between something painted by AI and something painted by Monet? Will they misidentify a Monet as AI? Will they misidentify an AI as Monet? Etc.
My point in saying Monet is a bad example (or any famous painter, I might say) is because that criteria has not historically been important even before AI, as far as I can tell. Humans seem to care whether a painting was painted by Monet, not whether anyone can tell by looking at it that it was painted by Monet (including themselves). They will happily invest in a painting if they are assured it is Monet, whether or not they themselves could ever tell the difference between that painting and a forgery, and they will be very upset if it later turns out it was not painted by Monet - even though they clearly could not tell the difference in the interim, etc.
So to me, they were trying to prove one point, but accidentally proved the other point. Can most humans figure out if something is a genuine Monet or not? No. Do most humans care if something is a genuine Monet or not anyway? Absolutely.
And I would argue this is a very important thing to understand about "AI art". Humans care about the origins or things - they don't just care about the things, even if they cannot themselves determine that origin definitively.

While I know what point the OP thought they were making, they could not have picked a worse example. Humans themselves have copied Monet's paintings, and we call those "forgeries", to the extent that you would sue someone if they sold you one claiming it was a Monet.

so rapidly with a user base that is still learning how to use them, may just be the latest most extreme example of this decades-long trend. I’m cautiously optimistic about the technology, but bracing for my day-to-day job to change more than it had in the preceding 40 years. /fin

a prodigious productivity increase. But the Jevons Paradox continues. Software is just building castles in the air, so it’s harder to contrive a zero sum game than other human endeavors like, say, container based shipping
So the AI coding tools, which are still co-evolving 7/x

For me at least, this only rings partly true.
In the last 6 months, AI has enabled me to do many tasks much more quickly than I otherwise would have (if I’d done them at all). But it is true that when the AI can write out hundreds of lines of reasonable-looking code in a 1/x

Harvard Business Review research reveals that excessive interaction with AI is causing a specific type of mental exhaustion ( or "AI brain fry"), which is particularly hitting high performers who use AI to push past their normal limits. A survey of 1,500 workers reveals that AI is intensifying workloads rather than reducing them, leading to a new form of mental fog. While AI is generally supposed to lighten the load, it often forces users into constant task-switching and intense oversight that actually clutters the mind. This mental static happens because you aren't just doing your job anymore; you are managing multiple digital agents and double-checking their work, which creates a massive cognitive burden. The study found that 14% of full-time workers already feel this fog, with the highest impact seen in technical fields like software development, IT, and finance. High oversight is the biggest culprit, as supervising multiple AI outputs leads to a 12% increase in mental fatigue and a 33% jump in decision fatigue. This isn't just a personal health issue; it directly impacts companies because exhausted employees are 10% more likely to quit. For massive firms worth many B, this decision paralysis can lead to millions of dollars in lost value due to poor choices or total inaction. Essentially, we are working harder to manage our tools than we are to solve the actual problems they were meant to fix. --- hbr .org/2026/03/when-using-ai-leads-to-brain-fry

@SebAaltonen I think you may be over indexing on range. Most days, high range is just dead weight that hinders the vehicle’s efficiency. For road trips, the key is faster charging and enough range that charging doesn’t cut too much into travel time.
English
The problem is that Chinese EVs sold in the EU have poor range. I found only two models that barely hit 600km.
Meanwhile, new EU SUVs:
Volvo EX60 = 810km
BMW iX3 = 800km
Mercedes GLC = 710km
These all have big batteries, but so do Chinese SUVs which offer -200km range.

5 years ago, Chinese cars were a joke. Today, BYD outsells Tesla. Let that sink in. BYD. Geely. NIO. XPENG. Zeekr. Not catching up. Taking over. Better tech. Sharper design. Half the price. The takeover isn’t coming. It’s already here.

If AI turns out to be a big bubble that bursts later this year with the stock market crashing just like it did in 2001 after the DotCom bubble, who amongst you will have seen it coming? Who has been the most vocal and prescient about warning us about it this whole time?

It hurts me to say this rings true

My students asked me if it was true that the entire Internet was really coded by hand. All those kernels, protocols, router firmware, browsers, databases, etc. Somebody coded these and debugged them by hand?!?!? They used BBEdit?!?!??! The idea that this was even possible seems amazing to them. I can imagine some future Moon Landing like conspiracy theory that says it never happened.

@hawkmania4 Not to mention the uncatchable punts he was dropping on the Rams in the NFCCG

Name a special teams player who flipped a game all by himself.
English
@macabi3059 idk I think during the 2025 season, his presence on the field was a tell that the play was a run. Perversely, that prolly helped him score that TD against the Rams. Glad he is coming back!

Hot take that almost nobody is talking about: Jake Bobo is probably the most important non-star on Seattle’s 2026 offense.
He’s not a regular WR3. This guy is basically a hybrid F-tight end in a receiver’s body.
• Top-5 blocking grade among all NFL wide receivers
• Learning the tough inside work from Kupp
• That lets Fleury run 12 personnel without the defense knowing it’s a run
• And still use 11 personnel without losing the edge
A lot of people thought we overpaid him because they only looked at him as a receiver. But Seattle paid him for that special versatility and his elite blocking. Most teams still don’t know how to value that correctly.
He’s the piece that connects everything in the offense. Watch him have a big year in 2026.
GO HAWKS!!
