Ah yes, let's price the world out of the real estate market and then use insanely powerful AI models to systematically mock the living conditions of the poors.

Let's gather authors of 15 different world languages together in a room and see if they can collaboratively write a short story. Surely their inability to do so will prove their inadequacy in their native language. /s Simplicity b

Not surprised. This summer I had a conversation with a senior staffer at OpenAI who had smoke coming from his ears due to Sam's incompetence. Contrary to his public image, he doesn't have the skillset of a CEO. He was a failed fou

Maybe I'm taking this too seriously, but the authors seem preoccupied with airing their own frustration with the views of Deepak Chopra. Using such an author as a data source is distracting because he writes about a sort of spiritual t

In my opinion, the implied framework of morality is bit too simplistic to arrive at a meaningful answer. Good and Bad are not objective outcomes that can be 'caused' by OKRs. Why not try to recognize the inherent balance of good &

Things are always changing. In the early days it wasn’t possible to record music so it made sense to monetize indirectly. When it became possible to actually record music it was hard to distribute it until radio. Later the digital revolutio

This makes a lot more sense when you consider that the vast, vast majority of accumulated wealth over the last 100 years is corporate wealth. To depoliticize ... I would interpret this statistic as an indication of the correlation between w

I'm in a similar situation; the company I worked at was acquired a couple of months before the pandemic. The sale gave me enough money to retire a few times over, 2 days after my 30th birthday. I initially went through a long period of

Part of the "trap" is implicit assumption of the subject / object distinction, which we are stuck with so long as we use language to think and communicate. But all human expression is generated from an initial non-verbal inte

Bitcoin isn't a collectible, because Bitcoin isn't unique or rare, it's infinitely divisible, and highly liquid. However, like a mint-condition beanie-baby, the value of Bitcoin is highly debatable. While most people would ag

I feel talking about DAUs is a little deceptive for enterprise software given that 'users' are essentially forced to not only use their employer's software stack, but use it daily

I liked this. It can be read as a very timely articulation of the age-old human obsession with platonic ideals. The quest for 'the seamless flow of information' is so much like the quest for true democracy, spiritual enlightenment

I'm by no means an economist, but I think the same. I understand inflation to be the shifting reference point of purchasing power per unit of currency. So without an increase in pay for the lower class in the U.S., it actually prevents
