Just knowing someone's name, address, and ID number isn't enough to like, open a bank account in their name or such. You'd need a proper ID card or passport for that. Similar thing with most businesses if you try to pay…
> Why is mechanized thinking going to do that? When mechanized labor didn't? You're right. There is technically a category of work that relies on neither our ability to do physical labor nor excessive thinking. It just…
The revenue numbers are public for the major AI companies. That's probably the best estimate for "inference for the whole market" we have, since most of that inference is billed in either API usage or subscriptions, and…
How does it compare for models of any meaningful size? These 0.6B-4B models are, frankly, just amusing curiosities. But commonly regarded as too error prone for any non-demo work. The reason why people are buying Apple…
What choice do they really have though? More and more consumers completely forgo owning a regular computer and only use a phone or a tablet now a days. And among the ones who do own a computer there's still a strong…
If we assume people are somewhat rational (big ask I know), and the Efficient-market hypothesis, then we can estimate the value created by AI to be roughly equal to the revenue of these AI companies. That is: A…

I think one of the things that short form videos do really well is that they punish creators who pad their videos with unnecessary filler content. On TikTok for example (Not necessarily a fan of the app but it's a good…
TikTok has a lot of issues, such as privacy, dubious content, 'brainrot', etc. I don't want to seem like I'm necessarily defending TikTok specifically here. But this really just stinks of Regulatory Capture to me. Their…
I didn't catch it immediately, but after you pointed it out I totally agree. That comment is for sure LLM written. If that involved a human in the loop or was fully automated I cannot say. We currently live in the very…
I remember leaving university going into my first engineering job, thinking "Where is all the engineering? All the problem solving and building complex system? All the math and science? Have I been demoted to a lowly…
Isn't most research and scientific data is already shared openly (in publications usually)?
In what way does them having a subjective local moral standard for themselves imply that there exists some sort of objective universal moral standard for everyone?
A risky bet can give back much more than 3x the money. Take this absurd one for example, it seems like it's offering up to 9x on a yes bet right now: https://polymarket.com/event/us-civil-war-before-2027 (I don't know…

Sounds like a solution looking for a problem.
Human entitlement really is the bane of game theory.
What about the free open weights models then? And the open source tooling to go with them? Sure, they are perhaps 6 months behind the closed-source models, and the hardware to run the biggest and best models isn't…
