На этот случай я предлагаю альтернативный подход к расшифровке. Читать далее Read more ›

Первого апреля в нашем телеграм-канале вышел пост с забавными опечатками. Напоминаю: мы смеялись над «собором необходимых данных», «бибилотекой» и другими «удачными» промахами наших коллег, а теперь я предлагаю обсудить, почему же мы ошибаемся. Ведь иногда смотришь на собственный текст и невольно ловишь себя на мысли: «нНу как такое можно было ляпнуть?» Читать далее Read more ›

The Wall Street Journal says "an intense 27-year-old activist who had been leading sit-ins at OpenAI to protest the dangers of AI" was just part of a larger movement. "The Bay Area's AI boom is drawing young disillusioned men and women to join the fight against it. They are upending their lives and leaving behind careers for think tanks, nonprofits and street protest groups." Their cause is now riding a... Read more ›
