Correction: OpenAI investors do take that risk. Some of the investors (e.g. Microsoft, Nvidia) dampen that risk by making such investment conditioned on boosting the investor's own revenue, a stock buyback of sorts.

It is the term "mathematically impossible" that caught my attention. Since it is about the future promise of OpenAI, one could debate the likelihood or "statistically improbable", but "mathematically impossible&quot

Not really. It was not about stocks. It was the collapse of insurance companies at the core of 2008 crisis. The same can happen now on the side of private credit that gradually offloads its junk to insurance companies (again): As a result,

Did you have to hire people? If so, why did you do that? Was it because you had "too much on your plate"? If so, did not hiring a good employee "make your life easier"? Was there another reason for doing that? (honest qu

Not quite. I do not think it was implied. This is why the interview was mentioned and the criterion for quitting. What is your approach?

Right. So SB2420 and the federal court judgment are the steps in the process to narrowly tailor another exception. Likely driven by the practical reasons mentioned earlier.

I do not see how this is an argument. If porn can be narrowly targeted, why apps can not be targeted narrowly as well? It seems to be more about harmonizing Texas law (SB2420) under the constraints of federal law (1A), so we will likely to

Good point, but judge's reduction it to a book equivalence is misleading and weakens the judgement. Porn may provide a suitable model: not all movies need age verification, so those can be viewed at any age. Some movies, however, do re

As many pointed out, the purpose of peer review is not linting, but the assessment of the novelty and subtle omissions. Which incentives can be set to discourage the negligence? How about bounties? A bounty fund set up by the publisher and
