So what? Why the obsession that whether need be or not, a tech company should and must have every tech trend that is viral?

Having a strategy, communication of a strategy, announcement of strategy and execution of strategy are all very different things. Many will put-communication-announce and fail at execution, some others execute and reveal like OpenAI. No one spoke of it 365 days ago, and now you wake up hoping you don’t read another post on ChatGPT

fairytalemtg··on Preventing Harmful AI Bias with Fairness Through Awareness
So many startups with such low sample size pitch big on AI/ML/NLP and every things else under the sun. AMZN and other bigs not able to win it, says loud that it is complex, and very algorithm can always be introduced to weight a bias.

AI telling me it is time to eat/drink/workout is very different from AI evaluating my social media feeds and recommending topic/time to post, to get me more reactions. Whether what I share has value or not.

AI/NLP to transform mundane tasks into automation is always a goal to achieve :)

fairytalemtg··on Ask HN: Is it the “worst” time to buy a house?
when you can afford it without other commitments or burdens, buy the house. Best is to have enough cash reserves. As mortgages rates are going up, job instability with layoffs underway, could result in foreclosures, also homes purchased for AirBB and other rental property may go down in demand with folks back in-person at office. Many many factors could cause a market correction for home prices to drop. So if you have cash reserves for 20% or higher for down payment, now might be a good time. You can refi it when the mortgage rates drop in the coming years.
