CONVENIENT 'COPY AS CURL': EXPLICIT, EXECUTABLE, EDITABLE REQUEST REPLAYS

The network tab of a browser's developer tools shows a list of requests. The dev tools UI provides a 'Copy as cURL' functionality for users to extract an executable 'replay' of the request that can be easily edited. This makes communicating and debugging issues with HTTP requests much easier. Just be careful about sharing any data that might have confidential information in it, like authentication tokens or session cookies.

REPORTS OF AI NOT PROGRESSING OR OFFERING MUNDANE UTILITY ARE OFTEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED

There have been many claims that AI isn't progressing or that it won't create much value due to the results of a recent study. It is still early days - companies have only really had enough time to look for ways to integrate AI into existing structures. The timeline to the largest visible-in-GDP gains will take a while to show up. Future AIs will not abide by current standard economic rules.

THERE IS NOW CLEARER EVIDENCE AI IS WRECKING YOUNG AMERICANS' JOB PROSPECTS

New research by Stanford University economists shows that AI is profoundly limiting some young Americans' employment prospects. Fields where generative AI tools can most easily automate tasks, such as software development, are being affected the most. However, employment in fields where AI can help people in their work rather than replace them is improving. More about the study, which has yet to be peer reviewed or published, is available in the article.
