From section 1: “In conventional rideshare (e.g., Uber and Lyft) deadheading, the miles driven without a fare-paying passenger, has been estimated to exceed 40% of the total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) (Henao et al. 2019)”

I don't know that it's that disappointing. I doubt most of the great mathematicians were actually doing it to achieve immortality. I suspect most of them were either after (possibly indirect) practical applications (via the math -

Lol. I assume you’re being facetious. But those companies have all been at it for decades.

Clickbait title. They only cut off the AI that was using Google as their crawler, which was not a good idea in the first place. I’d love to ask the developers of these AIs: what exactly did you expect to happen here?

0.3% is very good for a company that already has 20-30 employees, especially for a recent grad (even PhD level). That said, with startups it is always wise to assume your equity will be worth nothing. You can’t compare the compensation on e
