My view is that the primary purpose of money is to enable balanced exchange of useful goods and services, and with that premise, "money" could be replaced by large information systems. In fact, that transition is long underway. Wh

I don't think this is necessarily the right way to go about it, but there are deep issues with the incentives in the current US research system. As someone embedded in it, I would say it's highly dysfunctional and inefficient. Too

You don't need a LLM to do this. A dedicated image->coords model would likely perform much better, and that's old school ML at this point.

IME, and I may be off base, the new generation of Rust/Go binaries have a more "batteries-included" philosophy, i.e. developers don't assume that they can piggyback off existing user system libraries, which generally mak
