Ha! That’s the hype there. They made predictions, like any other model out there. Their models are better but not close to what we get out of xray crystallography which is a painstaking process. Protein folding is nowhere near a solved prob

AI firms don’t hire that many people. They’re burning billions mostly in datacenter runs. AI researchers could be doing 1M+ total comp per year but there aren’t that many to fill vacant office space.

Reddit making deals with search engines and AI companies for millions of dollars. Public data belong to Reddit to sell. Makes sense, why would they give it away for free when they can charge for it.

Feds can’t do much when Congress keeps on approving spending in trillions. The feds are doing their best keeping inflation in check. However housing is so short in supply, that prices are still rising. So lower interest rates will get anoth

Many people cite studies like this as pro-case for universal basic income. However universal really has to be universal e.g an entire country. This lets one measure the demand frenzy and resulting inflation. What works really well is supple

Seeing how much censorship Australian govt wants on it's own public, "love Assange" is a far cry from reality. Also Australia is beholden to US and has deep ties with it.

Word on town is OpenAI folks heavily selling shares in secondaries in 100s of millions. The number is as real as someone else is willing to pay for them. Plenty of VCs willing to pay for it.
