Intuitively it makes sense that someone that owns a bunch of assets will have tons more money than a performer? I think the sportsman case is actually harder to accept for most people - “how can someone that ‘just’ kicks a ball around earn

They have a much better and cleaner dataset than Stable Diffusion & others, so I’d expect it to be better with some kinds of images (photos in particular)

Adobe has never been alone. Photoshop’s AI stuff is consistently behind OSS models and workflows. It’s just way more convenient

No matter how much you break down playing soccer, it’s the kind of activity that 99.9% of the practitioners will never, ever, in any hypothetical scenario, be able to compete professionally on. Contrast that to coding. It might’ve been a di

We hear about a literal _dozen_ people getting those ridiculous packages. A dozen people versus hundreds of thousands on the unemployment line.

I know a dozen of those, and most of them are "starting their own company (stealth)" - aka they're unemployed for many months. It's all very weird (despite people saying "it's going to start improving" for

How can someone not know, at this point? You can literally just google “mar a lago accord”, this stuff has been widely discussed across mainstream media and social media (including the likes of r/conservative and even the whitehouse si

You’re probably reading it in reverse. The jobs number is showing what economists predicted when this whole tariff wack-a-mole started: that companies would stop hiring and start raising prices, to accommodate for the instability being crea

Why does it have to be a single currency? The single-currency reserve is an artifact from the era where settlements required actual wads of cash shipped around. It’s also from an era where most other countries’ currencies were in flux and t

Some skills are more mechanical and easier to replicate than others. Programming is a mechanical skill, but many coders long thought of themselves as uniquely gifted “artists”, and this whole LLM stuff is really touching a nerve on them

Right, that’s one of the stories people tell themselves. Everything every human has ever created is a remix. That’s what creativity is…

In a lot of ways, indeed. Lots of people are losing their minds with the fact that an AI can, in fact, create original content (music, images, videos, text). Lots of people realizing they aren’t geniuses, they just memorized a bunch of Pyth

it turns out many professions are essentially a long loop of repetitive tasks. Think telemarketing, or phone support, for instance. What kind of "higher-value work" would a phone support agent do?

honestly this is the least cruel layoff I've seen in recent years. At least someone went through the trouble of recording a video (instead of dismissing people with a chatgpt-generated email) and it includes a 6-month payout...

Live interviews are generally excellent at revealing that someone is comfortable with live coding interviews. I know plenty of people who excel at them and are unable to code on the job - and vice-versa. I'm pretty sure there's no

We’re firmly in a world where “cheat on everything” is an acceptable business, startups that were hacked together in a week at YC claim they have SOC2 and vibecoded GPT wrappers claim they “trained a model”. Shameless lying took over tech,

You have YouTubers versions of all these, plus more (YouTube body builder, YouTube gamer, etc). The difference is people want to be famous on YouTube , instead. Most YouTubers that kids use as role models are simply questionable entertaine

I don’t think the problem is “caring”. Waymo has proven the obvious - a machine with higher cognitive function that never gets distracted is better than most humans at an activity that requires constant attention and fast reflexes. I’m sure

My perception (and personal experience) is medical malpractice is so common, I’d gladly pick a Waymo-level robot doctor over a human one. Probably skewed since I’m a “techie”, but then again that’s why Waymo started at the techie epicenter,
