This is how the AI bubble ends. It basically cannot be profitable and companies will be stranded. But not before it wastes huge amounts of resources and de-skills a generation of students.

AI Eroded Doctors’ Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study.

“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”

Felicitări, Irina! Abia aștept!

It was so nice to see you!!! Thank you for everything! ❤️

Querido, I hope you are well. Un abrazote!

It is a great family history, but many other non-intellectual families (extremely poor peasants who moved in the cities in the 1970s and whose children studied the sciences, for instance) had different experiences. Hopefully someone else will write them at some point.

Very beautiful piece, Irina! I do wish, however, that Lea Ypi had read and borne in mind a vast anthro lit on property in postsoc societies, which does not exoticise state socialism nor idealizes it (not all progressives do), yet at the same time shows how some people at the bottom benefited.

Thank you! Thank you! What a great list! So many books I love here. 😻

Congratulations!!! Looking forward to reading it!

Omg, thank you, thank you! So honored! ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations!!!
