One point that Google wants to own all your data but have the power to ban you with a faulty ML algorithm with no recourse. False banning that affects someone's normal life must be punished if the service provider tries to lock you in.

This is good for satire, but the real solution is to use AI to become the CEO, or take over the scope of of product or decision-making roles. There are many business-savvy technical workers that get pigeonholed because they spend most of th

This is consistent with his premise. See, the title says it: incentives are for losers. If you're already a winner you can escape from incentives. No contradiction.

A more concise explanation is that, computation is the transformation of information. Any transformation of information is computation, and is thus subject to some theory of computation. A physical process involves the transformation of inf

You're right that I jumped the gun and the analogy is not accurate. The point where they are similar is that you have the prefix as context as you try to type out the next word; it is a more deliberate form of reading, and when you do

At this point letting an agent go like this is akin to not leashing your dog in public. It's not easy to draw an accurate line but probably there needs to be real punishment for doing these things.

It's clear to me they are subsidizing inference in exchange for market share, and doing it at this scale makes the most sense if their target is getting more user data. Note that this sort of pricing isn't far off from the equival
