I read a blog about websites built by AI. Not surprised. I bet it hits 75% by 2030. Maybe sooner.
\nI used to hand-code HTML and CSS — hours, days, sometimes weeks. Now Claude helps me build my micro.blog in 30–40 minutes. AI catches errors in seconds that used to take me forever. I have no shame in using AI to save my time.

Ace won 3 out of 5 games against elite players w/ 10 yrs or more of experience, but lost 2 against players.
\nSo, will we see robots playing against humans in the tournaments one day?
\n\n\n“The success of Ace, with its perception system and learning-based control algorithm, suggests that similar techniques could be applied to other areas requiring fast, real-time control and human interaction, such as manufacturing and service robotics, as well as applications across sports, entertainment and safety-critical physical domains.” — lead author and project lead at Sony AI Peter Dürr

That’s interesting. I’ve owned at least three Kindles, a Kobo, and a Boox, and I’ve never actually needed a screen protector.
