I think on this issues it’s conservatives that make a solution untenable. Conservatives are going to be against giving out living space. So that kills any housing first policies. The alternative has to be something that a politician can spo

The problem is that some groups have no problem taking facts and distorting them into untruths. We truly are living in an age of alternate facts. I’ve read papers put out by research groups that were easy to debunk. Most people won’t go to

You’ve correctly identified the issues with media today. Rage inducing articles are easier to read and get more views. As soon as you introduce facts then very quickly it becomes a nuanced debate on the issue which is far less interesting b

This is interesting. Are you familiar with products like Gong and Chorus.ai for call recording, and outreach.io for automated emails? If I look at products like Gong it is very much a pain killer. It makes it possible for managers to coach

Of course they didn't build privacy/security measures. And it was the right business call as well. By not building privacy and security aspects they were able to invest in growing marketshare. That growth enabled their $1b Amazon

If your name is John Smith and you want your pii removed the filter can't just handle any occurrence of J Smith, it needs to be scoped to a particular Smith and to do that the context of the prompt is helpful/needed.

Social media is correlated with many negative issues. Like depression, suicide, etc. meanwhile playing sports is correlated with many positive outcomes. It’ll take some time to prove causation. But I think we have enough evidence to know th

Sometimes you get so deep into the weeds that it's difficult to come out and hit the high-level summary. The parent's use of AI sounds like a perfect tool to help get the brain out of the 100ft view and into the 30,000ft view to w

I think we've had a few small scale experiments with UBI that showed it likely improves the lives for many, while not acting as a disincentive for others. If nothing else, bad employers would have to improve how they treat their employ

I’m thinking about underwriting. The people that assess the risk of granting a loan or insuring property. These are highly trained specialists. We won’t be able to take gpt4 and replace their job directly, but we’ll mix gpt with other risk

Current conservative influence will delay UBI adoption. We'll first have to experience years of massive unemployment with no signs of improvement before we'll see something like UBI be instituted. It's going to make for an in

You are imagining that overnight we'll just use chatgpt to answer if a loan should be granted to a customer, and of course it can't do that reliably. But think turning that decision into steps that we can chip away at the problem.

I imagine drivers prefer this because they saw the alternative was going back to being screwed over by the taxi companies. At least this way when they get screwed over by Uber they have a bit more say in when and how it’s being done and whi

Your perspective is refreshing. I realized I was in a rut seeing the opposite perspective, that costs via things like SOC2 compliance were driving up barriers to lifestyle like businesses.
