I'd joke about Gothon but some college student is probably already claiming it to be the next great thing. (And Google has already cancelled it.)

Well, I'm a guy so the answer is obvious. Had I not met my wife 35 years ago, I wouldn't mind being known by the other either.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

In a 20-page document unveiled Sunday, the 18 countries agreed that companies designing and using AI need to develop and deploy it in a way that keeps customers and the wider public safe from misuse. I feel so much safer now

Eduards Sizovs, the organizer behind the Devternity and JDKon developer conferences, admitted that at least one woman speaker’s profile was ‘auto-generated.’ They're not made up. They're just in Canada, so you can't meet them.

Without knowing more about the company or situation outside of what the article states I have to say I'm not surprised by this and I can't blame them considering the pressure placed on the private sector to force make their staff %X female. There's a reason you won't find teh case of a hospital creating fake male nurses and it's not because half the nursing staff is already male.
The Twitter user mentioned in the story, Gergly Orosz, goes on a bit of an unhinged tirade over this. What does it matter if a speaker is real or not if the attendees still get the material/info they expected? Why must it come from a female speaker vs a male speaker? This company made up these female speakers most likely b/c there was external pressure to since presumably they don't employee enough women or at least in the eyes of those who believe every cushy/office like job/industry must have %50 female staff or their sexists. They don't care that few if any women work in the industry of oil rigs, construction, cleaning sewers systems and teh like are nearly %100 male dominated it's just the jobs that have power and or are physically easier to do that they demand equal number of women. Women on avg aren't interested in careers in tech just as most men on avg aren't interested in nursing.

Software development has become more complex in the last 10 years with the introduction of the cloud, containerization and microservices – not to mention increased attention to security and governance. All of which falls on developers to manage. It can also lead to inconsistent state of joy between threads

Correction. Devs don't need to unlock joy. It is enough to lock bullshit from reaching them

The "original sins" were Xeroxing for photocopying and Hoovering for vacuum cleaning. If memory serves, Xerox spent quite a lot of effort trying to discourage that, because if the term became generic, they may have lost their trademark.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

In a study published in Scientific Reports, a research team from the University of Passau compared the quality of machine-generated content with essays written by secondary school students. So let's just have ChatGPT go to school, and have the kids working in the coal mines

Misleading headline: the quality of language usage was at question, not the quality of the essays.

In other words... only because it compiles it doesn't mean it will make sense.

In new experiment, young children destroy AI at basic tasks[^]
That's insider news btw. May I now deduce that young children are smarter than children that have been subjected to "education"?

I'm not very surprised at all. You learn to write by reading what others have written. Reading lots of it. ChatGPT does. Modern kids don't.
