In a word - meh.
We can, or soon will be able to, detect oxygen in the atmosphere of a planet 6 light-years away. Given that free oxygen is highly reactive and would therefore oxidize rocks in short order, it is good evidence of the presence of our kind of life.
As for detecting intelligent life, I would say that the 90%+ of the Internet that is cat videos, "influencer" videos, p0rn, or spam argues against their being any intelligent life on Earth.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

if advanced aliens are there somewhere.. light years far
then they must be looking at the life in the past
so if they are too far then they will see dinosaurs right now

That's pre-supposing that they have no way to move faster than light. And even we already have some theories that would give alternatives to that.

If personal gain isn't enough to sway you to use AI technology, maybe these professional benefits will. Because so many jobs require the ability to not do the actual work
Let's see what else is on this very important and highly accurate list:
- InfoSphere DataStage. OK, I've never heard of it, obviously someone else has.
- Nutanix. Isn't that a breakfast cereal?
- Illustration. Always an important tech skill.

When you find that "else", ask about what the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) is that for

I would have gone more for a medicament or an explosive

A report identified 49 sites that use AI tools like ChatGPT to generate cheap and unreliable content. Experts warn the low costs of producing such text incentivizes the creation of these sites. Still don't believe everything you read (2023 edition)
OK, maybe just "May 2023 edition", as I'm sure something else will come up soon.

how was it? ChatGPT is only a tool...
yeah, but being used by us (humans), did they see the world news at all before releasing it?
The technology might be half mature enough, but we are definitively not.

Quote: But making the SoC development somewhat more exciting, Microsoft is said to be working in parallel to make sure Windows 12 will be Arm optimized.
Reminded me of Windows RT, and the snorts of derision when it failed. But it looks like the new iteration can handle x86 apps through emulation: Windows on Arm — Everything you need to know about low-power PCs. Learned something new, but don't plan to switch.

This new Microsoft research report details the benefits of using a feedback flywheel to keep employees engaged. A company that listens to their employees does better? How bizarre.

Now if only they'd stop listening to their designers and PMs who want windows to feel more like the Mac they're not allowed to use at work.

Arstechnica: Krishna said that hiring in back-office functions like human resources will be suspended or slowed, affecting roughly 26,000 non-customer-facing roles. "I could easily see 30 percent of that getting replaced by AI and automation over a five-year period," Bloomberg quoted Krisha as saying in an interview.
Giving new meaning to the phrase "Human Resources aren't".

Given the lack of time human doctors have to research, I'm actually not surprised a computer can out-diagnose humans.

In parts of the US, "research" will be de facto outlawed anyway, as deviation from authorised protocols will be deemed "medical misinformation," so it will be safer just to call up the likes of ChatGPT - certainly when it gets a bit more foolproof.
