   I think you underestimate the cost of writing a well-researched book. Pre-publication, the process consumes lots of time and energy and money while generating zero revenue, output, or other benefit. Very different from most business venture

   Based on your completely unnecessary snark, I would say you are not happy on your prescription meds.

   Did Assange have to show up in a US court? No. So why are you writing all this and then doubling down?

   The average person (in the world, perhaps not in Atherton) most definitely has ongoing stress about paying the bills.

    I assume you meant "none" of the traditional incentives. I know some very rich people, and I've thought about this myself. My conclusion is that we ALL need ongoing challenges in life. For most people, working to pay the rent

    The comment I'm replying to strongly implies that Susan G Komen funds are NOT used for research. According to LOTS of links hosted on many credible sites, that is false. E.g. "Yes yes, we're well aware that breast cancer exis

    To add to your clear response, listing a year without giving any other detail also indicates a Bachelors degree. If instead they had earned a graduate degree, that would be indicated with some abbreviation for the granting school/colle

    I'm so confused. Isn't "training LLMs on LLM output" the very definition of "model collapse" or "model poisoning"?

    I think one of our biggest problems in society (business, politics, etc.) is that Stage 1 superficially resembles Stage 3. This means that many people in Stage 1 (or Stage 0, if that's a thing) believe that they're as good as Stag

    So many (perhaps most) successful apps and platforms are copies. It's not an argument for or against success. Even Airplane was a copy!

    SaaS companies rise and fall all the time. I didn't get any sense of what was special about this tale. A lot of "this happened, and then this happened," but I would have liked some more insight.

    You completely made up that first part. Why do you do that? Norway is 12.2% immigrants, and many of those are from the Middle East. The "least diverse [rich] country in the world" is probably S Korea.
