A perfect market would do this, but it would also suffer from other well documented problems.. the markets we have are very far from disinterested allocation optimization systems.

Every CEO has, for the last 20 years at least, outsourced and offshored every role that they possibly could. All the bullshit about co-location and productivity is dropped instantaneously when there is a chance of saving a dime. The flat ou

Remember that a society is not homogeneous and a single concept of right would require homogeneity. How that is achieved will be up to you, if you gain a measure of power and cleave to this idea. In the past it has led to tragedy and infamy

Do you mean "the use of military force"? That is my model.... BTW. this is not a judgement - there has been no political system that I know of that has had any sustained presence in history that hasn't used this mechanism to

Constraining the economy based on one proxy item isn't sensible. The current system is backed by the USA's future likely ability to extract revenue from tax payers and anyone else that it gets the idea of extracting money from.

Look, the shareholders in water companies need to be wiped out. They have allowed the balance sheets to become untenable, now they lose their capital. PE has sold to the next fool - but more fool them. The debt holders are going to have to

this is supervised machine learning on top of unsupervised machine learning with some interesting wrinkles in both steps! it reminds me of those aircraft that folks in rural india build from time to time.

I think it's the opposite - god alone knows what sort of social upheaval Europe would have seen in the financial crisis from 2009 - 2015 if playstation and x-box hadn't been around to distract all the young men with no job!

I would qualify this. There is a distribution of users. Definitely some users are better off (no matter how good the chatbot is) using the FAQ or websites. Some people are not chat interface orientated. Some people would benefit from a very

I had the same, it refunded me, then 3 weeks later I got a notification from Amazon that they would be taking the money off me. I complained and was ignored. It was only $10 but it teaches a lesson.

It's actually the inverse - in the last 40 years this spill has been radiating away and getting less dangerous. However, for that period people have been exposed to it, and it's been sitting there as an accident waiting to happen

I find the whole idea of adding text into text to drive a outcome pretty worrying if I have to rely on the output. If the probability of the model spitting out something bad is 0.01% will my testing find it? Probably not.. but my users cert

I should add, on the journey to the evidence that finally killed the stack rank we did some interesting empirical work. This was in collaboration with an organisation that actually became part of the dreaded firm. Still, it was good stuff.

Ok - what's the ROI on the $10bn (++) that OpenAI have had? So far I reckon <$10m in actual revenue. This isn't what VC's (or microsoft) dream of.

A huge change for the company I work for was breaking the lease on the old office and then getting a new office that is 1/3 the size and 1/4 the cost. And we doubled in size. So... there's a bit of an economic argument. Also,
