    Fantastic Beasts and how we live with them

    A while back I read an article that admonished the reader not to let your cat watch nature shows unsupervised because they may knock the TV over, and hurt themselves or do damage to the TV. At the time I thought, How fat-and-happy are we that we supervise what our pets watch on TV?:rolleyes...

    Is AI writing assistance ethical?

    If you're referencing buy/sell systems for stock trades, sure. This is referencing AI as a product, and as a disruptive technology. Since the mid-90s at least, watching where the investments go and the financial health of companies was a factor in what technologies to implement and which...

    Is AI writing assistance ethical?

    The ethics of it in the end, is - is it your work? If yes, you have the right to put your name on it. Is it co-written by Chatgpt? Then ethically, the author is 'Joe Schmo and Chatgpt'. Maybe the next James Patterson best seller will be 'James Patterson in collaboration with Chatgpt!'. If...

    Cloud service for writers?

    Good straightforward effective solution. Ideally the two machines are in different locations in case a catastrophe like the toilet seat from the ISS falls on them. Companies have to guarantee no loss of data for a particular time frame. i.e. nightly backup might be ok, they can live with...

    Cloud service for writers?

    Two cents... Before "Cloud" services came to be, private companies offered PC backup. There was a period of time when desktop/laptop backup was a problem for IT managers. I didn't think they would still be around, but did a quick look and found 'Carbonite.com', it's an OpenText company. For...
