Absent enforcement, proceeds from fraud are invested in more fraud. Given that fraud exists in this area, the shape of the growth curve suggests fraud as a plausible driver.

It won’t and it never has. It’s not like society post-1945 developed the phenomenon for the first time in human history. Even in this country, New Jersey was the last state to ban women voting in 1807 iirc.

The guys who are willing to shoot people will win that argument every time tbh.

To be fair, I’m not sure blatant lying in investor updates alone constitutes fraud. There needs to be harm (or the intent thereof) AFAIK. The other party needs to be using that information to make a decision. If you give me a dollar and the

To be fair the US is pro-immigration and that’s no secret. H1-B is a guest worker visa. Those jobs could equally go to immigrants.

Your positions are: 1. Corporations are greedy 2. Corporations will pass the tariff onto customers #1 would imply drug companies charge the maximum price the market will bear. If so, how will they accomplish #2?

I dunno, Common Sense puts forth the idea that government exists to occupy the space where men are evil. It grows and shrinks accordingly. A larger role for government implies more evil, not less.

This is much-appreciated. I’m hardly a Richard Stallman, but finding little incompatibilities after-the-fact is pretty irritating.

There’s a role for humans vis-à-vis accountability. Simply recording whose head goes on a pike for every step if something going wrong can be effective too.

> they should have been fined tens of billions of dollars by now! Maybe cartoonishly large fines levied against powerful entities wasn’t such a great idea. Other incentives may have been better suited to getting the populace what they wa

To be fair feudalism (the row-farming kind) kind of collapsed because people found better deals with the rise of trade and mercantilism and such. It wasn’t anything anybody needed to make points over. IDEs seem headed in the same direction.

There’s some more recent scholarship than Guns, Germs, and Steel . See Rationalizing Epidemics: Meanings and Uses of American Indian Mortality since 1600 [1]. The truth is maybe a bit more complicated. We had doctors volunteering to visi

We “forgot” about it because climate-as-energy-policy was a lever for control because energy touches everything. Now that AI will touch everything, AI is the focus of those who seek control over others. There has never been an energy transi

The guys on the Iranian warship also knew they were on a warship. I mean come on. What’s the expectation here. This isn’t tag on a kindergarten playground. People are gonna die.

The taxi-driving Alz patients may overwhelmingly die of something that leads to physicians not listing Alz as a cause of death. If taxi driving is loaded in such a way that Alz presents significant challenges (eg loss of income), that could

There are grad students babying organoids right now. Saturday morning. If you can work a pipette you can do this.

Sort of, but you need to separate the model from the interface. The base models pretty much think they’re you, and the chat stuff is bolted on top. It’s kind of a round peg square hole thing, or i.o.w. the whole may be less than the sum of

I think the eye test is more reliable than the BMJ when it comes to international competition at the highest level. We’ve all seen the videos.

I looked at the bug report. You don’t use the packet filter, but expect packet filtering? Seems to be a misunderstanding. The flow filter needs a flow to filter, which requires a TCP handshake to establish.

Think of how many quadrillions of hours under-18 spend online. Ads for verified 18+ are more profitable.

Simon, love your work. Hope this is sarcasm. If not, imagine the opposite: Sam Altman and co suddenly started producing tons of content about how smart they are in Mandarin. Why do they even need a story to begin with, let alone one they pu

Yes obviously. We would erase President Xi and his family as well. What are they going to do, cross the Pacific? Our total willingness to do is unconditional.

Please don’t generate gobbledegook. Or at least try harder at it. How about a fun persona. Maybe a bit of a backstory.

It’s less of a pipeline and more like a rocket engine. The exhaust gas (clinical data) spins the pump. We’ve put restrictors on that flow, and it’s taking a lot of fuel to get off the ground.

I think this is completely wrong. For a democracy to form, substantially everyone must have bought in. That’s the upstream, not the threat of removal. Authoritarian “regimes” are constantly under threat of removal.
