By this time next year it's not unreasonable to think Google DeepMind will know "all the math".

I kind of feel like the next logical step for this is someone will invent a way to do a crowd-sourced SETI-style solution for building these large AI models in a collaborative way. I think based on my experience it's clear they'

I have a perfect example of this but with Bard, not with ChatGPT. The first day I used Bard I was blown away. It, maybe only by coincidence, was doing things that ChatGPT was not capable of doing. For example, logical reasoning. I gave it

I also think, in a secondary capacity, there is a reluctance often to come to consensus about things that should be brought to consensus among teams. The reason, though, that I don't think consensus is gained is because of the way pro

I think part of the reason is that most of the economy does things that aren't interesting to the brightest people in the world. I'm relatively certain that most of the largest companies in the world wouldn't exist if we had

I'm not affiliated with this company, but was excited when I found it. Haven't used it yet, but given the issues I've encountered with other companies I wanted to post this.

I think it's rare in a truly organized environment where code reviews are common, but I have seen early in my career crazy stuff where people just either didn't like what they were doing for a career or they were under the gun to

I agree, there are way too many people in those languages that aren't disciplined about documenting what they're doing. I think my argument certainly falls apart when considering those kinds of teams. Then again I have had the mi

It seems maybe I don't have a refined enough vocabulary to express what I'm thinking. Would you consider taxes, or laws in general, price manipulation? It seems to be pretty loosely defined what we're talking about. I'

I think it's less about underestimating and more about finding the right abstractions and trade-offs. As far as I understand all the real debate is surrounded by "more taxes" vs "less taxes". No major debate is re

OH, also... Sorry, I missed it originally. Not 100% sure if this is what you mean, but I'm not necessarily talking about "price manipulation". A company is free to charge whatever they want. BUT, they would have to adjust

So, I agree that in today's economic climate it likely would be difficult to work well initially. However, I think that's mostly because (at least from my perspective) we all KNOW today that the largest corporations in the world

This is a dialogue my friend. I don't know what prior knowledge you're bringing to the table so I don't know ahead of time how to explain myself. By interacting and asking questions and me answering (and vice-versa) we can

The "statistical polling" idea is really just acknowledging the fact that a government (if they put something like this into law) would then of course be required to "uphold that law". So it's just my way of explai

So with regards to the "formula", it's kind of the same idea as "tax tables" the IRS creates. But instead of telling us "how much taxes you owe" these other tables decide "how much MORE energy prices

I'll comment separately for each question to keep the ideas clear: Raw materials / human resources are the building blocks of an economy. Without them nothing else can happen. So by requiring company A to charge company B more t

Basically instead of the government being the middle man, businesses become (by law) responsible for at least some of redistribution of wealth within the economy. The premise, fundamentally, is that wealth (re)distribution is likely require
