- If you have the time and the attention span: "ChatGPT is bullshit"

(although they concluded it's "soft" bullshit, as it doesn't aim to 'harm')
- I agree that being the first is important. I have had a paper reviewed, then rejected, only to see the same idea elsewhere a while after. I cannot say the reviewer "had the same idea" nor prove, but it is known to happen. Putting into arXiv remediates that. However, my personal issue with that is that the journal might not be that keen to want to publish your paper after knowing it was publicly available elsewhere, as they thrive "innovation" and "being the first" as well. It's a very difficult problem, indeed.
- For anyone interested, I've wrote a while ago this book: "Markov Chains for programmers". Link: https://czekster.github.io/markov/
- Roblox is a huge problem for me, as a parent of a 8y kid. Let me explain: I try to block violent apps in his tablet using Google's Family app, however, Roblox internally keeps 'offering' my kid almost any game, whatever if there's violence, drugs, killing others, and so forth.
It's a headache and a source of fights, so, I thank the responsible (/sarcasm).
- He surely has a point stating that creators will compete with AI generated content in the years to come. Virtual stars are already plaguing the platform and companies are seeing those as costing less to produce content (and they don't have to handle PR campaigns whenever the 'physical' stars do something controversial).
Well, welcome to the future, I guess.

- Well, houses, it's simple: they (politicians) limit the number of new builds, otherwise prices would fall. It's always supply and demand in the end. Diamond extracting also: they control the amount of diamonds that 'enter' the market each year. Imagine if it was 'flooded': the diamond market would collapse.
- I can imagine in the future authors selecting a checkbox with "I authored this manuscript without the help of any IA." before submitting a paper for review.
AND if caught, they would have the 'power' to lift the paper from their databases or mark it somehow (brand it with a (IA) logo perhaps?)
On a more serious note, EDF, France's suppliers sells their provision as 99.99% clean, which is not wrong, I guess, but a good selling point to their business.
