   insider trading is bad because it drains liquidity from the markets which reduces its predictive power if i am the uninformed, without insider trading laws what is the incentive for me to bet when I know there are insiders?

   AI companies have reaped the most benefit out of AI, so naturally most 10xers come from people who have equity in those companies that grow really fast I don't think the average person has even close to a 10x output increase due to AI.

   Top professionals whose comp is tied to performance didn't work 40hr 9-5s in the first place - but their comp is tied to performance, so when they have 10x the output they are compensated accordingly Roles that come with a 40hr work we

   I think equity compensation should be normalized (or ideally allow employees to choose the % of their compensation is equity vs. cash) so every employee can partake in the upside of the company.

    Out of curiosity, I examined the worst task: https://deepswe.datacurve.ai/data/trials/quill-shared-toolba... It seems like GPT here is failing due to an environment issue of connecting to chromium, even though its

    This benchmark matches my experience with GPT (I occasionally go back to Claude when I run into limits and frequently run into forgotten requirements and reward hacking) I do have two questions / critiques: - The verifier doesn't

    on the contrary, theres more of an incentive for apis to have docs for agent discovery. the docs / interfaces themselves can be auto-gened (stainless / mintlify)

    I don't think its much of an issue - Rl envs + synthetic data + human annotated - Usage data from codex/claude code/cursor Most of the model abilities in coding come from post-training, not pretraining

    I think this lecture by Chad Jones gives a pretty good overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBpGn3BDcOY I also think there will be significant displacement and change, but the size of the pie will grow tremendously, an

    I think a better way to think about it is - what are the invariants to our current architecture? Why can't you tell Claude to build you a 1B$ business, make no mistakes? I have no doubt they will be better programmers than almost every

    I wonder how much of this is due to poor incentives at the university level? I've seen this work well at a job when there's a feedback loop for juniors that incentivized them to learn with more scope and compensation

    Yes, with good RLVR at scale you can greatly improve performance especially on benchmarks The hope was that good RLVR on relatively contrived datasets (like benchmarks) would be generalized to good software taste, which has somewhat succeed

    I think there will be larger markets, more companies, more jobs than before due to AI, but also a very painful transition period AI reduces the cost of producing software (and other intellectual tasks), which greatly improves the viability

    I'm not sure I follow Wouldn't UBI be funded by the wealth generated by the automation in this case? So is the difference only the amount people receive that changes UBI from an economic cushion to sharing the wealth? In addition
