So here in the U.S., the Karen Read trial recently occupied two years of news cycles— convicted of a lesser crime on retrial. Is the position that everyone who experienced that coverage, wrote about it in any forum, or attended, must wipe a

A Socratic law professor will demoralize students by leading them, no matter the principle or reasoning, to a decision that stands for exactly the opposite. GPT or I can make excuses and advocate for our pet theories, but these contrary dec

Maybe all these things are true at the same time. More of a “is it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all” kind of dialogue. In the midst of grief over any of the topics above, compounded by an indifferentand maladapted syste

The workflow is fine, the content is fine. The LLM needs to lean in a little harder on your voice and condensing your content— focus on subtraction rather than addition. The problem is: viewed as a one-off, it’s a gem. But put it on the AI

I recently began using markdown readers/writers like Typora and they’ve blown me away— what LibreOffice Writer could have been. Competing directly with MS Word was a trap.

He’s saying growth mindsets “win” and zero-sum players, the mean ones, stagnate. This is true as a system— who wants to invest with someone intent on gouging you— and it’s true as a function of effort— if you spend your time on petty tricks

Yes, the problem is that many corporate resources cannot differentiate their roles from that of a glorified search engine. In fact, some experts on the human mind cannot effectively differentiate the human experience from that of a glorif

It’s demonetizing process rent-seeking. AI can build whatever process you want, or some approximation of it.

This is interesting! A fraudulent deed on your title doesn’t change rights, but it might require you to clarify them in court, which is costly and inconvenient. Traditional title insurance only covered addressing clouds on title that exis

If the concern is the control module of the wind turbine— that’s not a nationalization and confiscation program. It might look similar in the near-term to participants, but that’s simply because they are functioning as instruments of the

Word, Excel, maybe, but the MS strategy is vendor lock-in not any actual productivity. We see all day long how AI burns down silos and enables cross-platform coordination. I bet MS saw this too and the “CoPilot Everything” pivot was their

If a company is looking to offshore a function purely on the basis of cost differential, that’s a sure sign the company believes the function has been commoditized and is immune from competitive selection. That’s a specific slice of the wor

Computers are more accountable. You just pull the plug, wipe the system. Executives, in contrast, require option strike resets and golden parachutes, no accountability. Neither will tell you they erred or experience contrition, so at a mo

One might engage this topic better by asking a series of rhetorical questions. 1. Imagine you drove 40mph in a 25mph zone, a school zone. Children were present. Do you present yourself to the police? 2. You consult an attorney. Should the

Yeah, all the politicians talking housing— the actual net governmental effect on housing is to massively constrain supply (quantity) in service of rather arbitrary qualitative standards. I’m all for “the building shouldn’t spontaneously col
