Just say "haha nah, I'm fine, I didn't think I was making any face in particular, maybe I'm making a face subconsciously because deep down I'd rather be doing something else." Then as other posters have said, if he continues tell him you don't appreciate his constant commenting on the topic and would like him to stop. If he continues from there then tell HR he's harassing you.

    I've been using Durgod keyboards for a while (my first is my daily driver at home and has had no issues since I bought it at least 8 years ago. I bought a second for work recently and quality is consistent with the first. Is Chinese company, not sure if they have an EU shop, not sure if they have a cherry MX blue option, you'd need to run through the full size units and see what they have in stock (they offer a lot of cherry MX options), no backlight, not sure if you can get blank keycaps, not sure what you mean about media keys, mine has some media options (stop play vol control etc) accessible via a FN key. Should be sub 200eur for the big ones, they are sub 200aud.

    AI can't replace lawyers and doctors, but they can automate their paperwork and free up time for them to do other things.

    The problem with this statement is that lawyers and doctors have to be able to assure their work. If they are wrong then there are consequences. If you have to spend time reviewing everything an LLM writes, even just for paperwork, along with all its sources, then the benefit of using it tends to being on par with rather than a benefit. When you add in the issues with personal skill decline it becomes a detriment.

    I also wonder about the statement on AI companies being profitable. There was a report recently talking about how very few companies were realising benefits from their AI spend, with many also finding they were spending a lot more on it than they had planned to not realise those benefits. Are those companies going to continue to spend, particularly when the article talks about AI companies needing to charge more.

    This news inspires such conflict. On one hand the guy played stupid games and won stupid prizes, so you could say he's got what he deserved. On the other hand he's clearly disabled and mentally ill so this is basically eugenics which I don't think we should be applauding. The whole situation fucking sucks, his choices, the war, Russia, the history that brought everything to this point, all of it.
