    Peter's principle and whatnot, but I think there is something deeper. The manager positions are designed, by definition of the word, to manage, and the top goal is to extract value…

    I am of the opinion that `true AI` is the science/engineering of understanding and replicating human intelligence. Why are we able to come up with abstract concepts from the surrou…

    The AirBnB story about `literally a month from being homeless` is total BS. Both Chesky and Gebbia worked for a few years before starting the company and the other guy went to Harv…

    You can read the comments (and the linked papers) first. This is an advanced algorithm that could take days (or weeks) to fully internalize the details. One can't expect to just re…
