wish you'd have expressed this better. Your argument is sound but your sarcasm gave a pretext to those not wanting to hear. Now you are dismissed out of hand on shallow grounds.

Interesting. Were you inspired by the Delphi decision algorithm , or did you happen to rediscover it? I agree it could provide a moat, though not a very wide one. All it takes is for your competition to talk to non-engineers, and all sorts

I'd do it, if I expected to charge $18 billion for information that the thing I just purchased used to offer for free.

No, they cannot. LLMs are LANGUAGE models, not KNOWLDEGE models. They do not "know" what algorithms mean any more than they know what everything else they "talk about" mean. What they are more than capable of is to produ

Yes, I am glad we have computers. I am also glad that I can code a median function that can efficiently go through a billion numbers; no need to ask the artificial averaged embodiment of millions of dumb teenagers for its duh-best-guess-lol

And in turn, I cannot agree with you. I can do math myself, thank you very much. If I take the effort to pull out a math calculating machine, the calculation is important enough that I want 99.99% certainty that the answer is right. Under t

One thing is to prevent the market to decide prices, and a very different thing is to let bad-faith actors to continue going around unchecked. The first scenario allows us to collectively make a bigger cake and then figure out how to share

You've just conflated having low performance with low bargaining power, which is weakly correlated at best. So... 1) Why pay less productive employees the same as more productive employees (for the same position)? Because it can be har

The toggle on and off switch would be very unApplely, yes. That does not mean you have to stop thinking, it means you need industrial designers on board. USB-condoms are a thing you know; average (and below) users know exactly what those do

The perfect is the enemy of the good. The way to Hell is paved in good intentions. Just two obvious thoughts that may be relevant in this case.

It might be unfashionable to say these days, but... "the masses who explore the Talmud" have a much higher bar to jump than "the Masses".

What about demanding a salary no less than 50% of the value you add to the company? How many industries would stop being viable if their whole workforce would demand to be compensated for the worst case scenario Every single paycheck ?

It is disingenuous, at best, to equate collapse to "going back to the cave age". If your house's roof collapses you do not end up in a cave. You either pay a small fortune to have it fixed or, if you lack the wealth to do so,

Leaving aside other factors, you're redefining "overstays" as "not leaving the premises fast enough when told to leave before the original deadline". And no, that's not treating them as animals. But you are not
