Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as "cognitive amplifier tools."

Ok well this is a simple train of cause and effect that even Mr Nadella should be able to understand.

Make an actual tool that is so damn good and so universally useful that early adopters who pay attention would consider calling it a "cognitive amplifier."

Keep in mind that I have seen the term "second brain" used for note taking apps, usually easy to use and sync between devices. (I'm using AnyType free)

That is how poorly the "market" views your "tech demo with a price tag" product! It loses the brain title to a small collection of conveniently stored text files. Congratulations.
