I've wondered the same. Back when Antrhopic seemed like a niche alternative to OpenAI, I signed up for an account. Now that my company is using it heavily, I tried to change the account owner to on of the executives, and apparently tha

Perhaps once AI destroys all the livelihoods of educated and disciplined white collar workers, it'll be easier for the TSA to find people who can follow basic instructions and show a normal amount of empathy.

One example - I'm doing research for some fiction set in the late 19th century, when strychnine was occasionally used as a stimulant. I want to understand how / when it would have been used and dosages, and ChatGTP shut down that

Yeah. I'm a stickler for accountability falling on drivers, but this really can be an impossible scenario to avoid. I've hit someone on my bike in the exact same circumstance - I was in the bike lane between the parked cars and mo

It is a big deal. It means for a lot of people there's nowhere they can go to actually enjoy the sound of nature. The strategy of getting ahead or staying behind doesn't work when there are switchbacks or crowded trails. The strat

Drug costs are dominated by the fixed costs of development. $20/dose may very well cover the marginal cost of production while being far too little to make the overall venture profitable.

It sucks that you need to own a car to get anywhere in most of the US. When my wife and I moved to Southern California from Chicago, we had a single car and tried to make that work for a while, but it was just not doable. We have a grocery

Honestly, it sounds really compelling to me. I do a lot of stuff outside - search and rescue, climbing, etc, and I need a rugged case for that, but having a thin, light phone when I'm at home or doing something with less chance to dama

When I realized that drinking a cocktail every night wasn't great for my health, I found the bitters + soda to be a great substitute. A shot of apple cider vinegar can add a bit of complexity to it as well.

I'm one of those examples. I've never been obese or really even overweight, but mid-2023, I noticed my clothes were no longer fitting, and I decided to take off some weight. I lost 20 pounds over the course a a few months and have

1. The demand for software is insatiable. The biggest gate has been the high costs due to limited supply of the time of the people who know how to do it. In the near term, AI will make the cost of software (not of software devs, but the sof

About a year ago, I was in the United Club at O'Hare, and the fire alarm went off. I was getting a Bloody Mary when it happened, so I left my drink on the bar, went to the table where my family was, and said "let's go".

Where we live (in Southern California), the school buses don't go door-to-door. My daughter's nearest stop is about 1 mile from our home. She could make that walk without a phone, but we appreciate knowing she can contact us if ne

AI companies have learned and struggled for a few years, learning how to make a decent model. Phone and laptop guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in.

I wouldn’t describe it as hidden. It’s a pretty straightforward form of income distribution. Compared to most government programs for the poor, it’s refreshingly simple. If you ever work with poor families to help them navigate the governme
