I’m actually posting this a couple of days later, partially because I spotted a lot of traffic towards my disclaimer page and other similar posts from recent past, and partially because it’s been… stressful.
I’m OK. Plenty of other people aren’t. 4% of the company this time included a few of my former Portuguese colleagues, and I feel like I have to bring up last year’s post to remind myself these things are a reality these days.
I will say this one thing, though: I handpicked this particular news item to backlink to because it was one of the first on major media and has some of the most shallow, clueless commentary I’ve ever seen Bloomberg dole out. None of the “news” coverage that mentions AI has any real clue.
