I've personally liked 4.6 the best to date, preferring it by far to 4.7 and 4.8 (even with these on max effort!), both in Claude Code and for non-coding tasks in the chat UIs. Still early but from my first few interactions with Fable o

Well, it is arguable that it is "laughable" that there is a strong push to try and regulate/contain these systems to avoid human extinction when they can't tell you the number of weekdays in a month (and fail in this man

I think it's interesting to see the ease with which a few commenters on this thread assume they either 1) know how to answer this question or 2) are comfortable hand-waving it away.

I don't get what point you're trying to get across with this comment. The question at hand is essentially one of causality, but you seem to be avoiding it? Addressing your points one by one: >Survivor bias. If nothing existed [

I've tried to restrict the suggestions below to sources that I perceive as fairly unbiased. While it's not exclusively focused on the economics side of things, one recommendation I would have is to read "The World: A Brief In

Just a layman's guess here, but I strongly doubt the bystander effect is strong enough to overcome the chances of a single person helping. Note that for the bystander effect to happen, all the people in the vicinity have to not interve

It's an interesting thought but I think there's little basis to believe there is a concerted effort here, as the average consumer is very aware that the quality of, say, a screwdriver from China, is very different from that of a G

One thing I noted was that the median price paid by foreign buyers was not as high as I expected when compared to the median price for all buyers (280.6k compared to 259.6k). This indicates to me that these foreign buyers are not necessaril
