jmcs , to Technology in ChatGPT and the movie ‘Her’ are just the latest example of the ‘sci-fi feedback loop’

jmcs , to Technology in Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI

In my experience Software Engineers working in ML are, for the most part, also drinking their own Cool Aid, and need pushback from the rest of the company to keep them in check. So management also needs to know which smart people to listen to.
