Short update on all the tech stuff I’ve encountered today. I had breakfast with friends who said that they were using AI to read and summarize books for them and that while an expert might do better, DeepSeek was faster and more accurate than a young, just hired employee. I then when to Handshake for an event. Outside Nantou Ancient City, there was a robot sweeping the path to the south gate and a police robot that could take reports and photos. My day concluded with to a virtual exhibit on Pompei. Digital impressions of recent archaeology which allowed for the discoveries to be shown to scale, without giving a sense of the texture of anything. In fact, only the souvenirs were material. So we went through a virtual exhibition and could leave with high quality tchotchkes.
