    Also related: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36049449 Kinda crazy how they didn't check again the responses of GPT in the video before marketing it. Reminded me of the Bing and the Bard demo mistakes earlier this year.

    I have "AI Fatigue" so badly. I'm so very tired of this trend/direction/whatever it is. it is exhausting.

    I need a nap every time I learn of a new AI product.

    The race between Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg is a throwback to VHS/Betamax days.

    Microsoft is betting on the former while for example Snowflake is now allowing you to back tables with the latter, making it possible to integrate your data directly with other systems.

    I talked to a Microsoft rep who said that they would support Iceberg if there was a Rust-based client for it.
