    This scenario seems very different because nobody gave the person any material non-public information at all, they simply deduced it from their experience participating in the tria…

    This comment is not really correct 1. The misappropriation theory of insider trading covers anyone who trades on material non public information sourced through a trusted relations…

    OpenAI has over 5,000 employees. In addition to their headcount, they are now the highest valued private company in the world. They're going to have some leverage.

    Fair, but I'd like to clarify that in my comment I had asked specifically for any sources indicating that the PFA limits were put in place by the prior administration, since you ha…

    It seems like the PFAS rules were set in prior administrations [1]. In fact, even in the article you've linked above, the text states: > retaining its maximum contaminant levels fo…

    Yeah I'm not suggesting the same process could apply in the US, I'm just trying to aggressively refute the point that guns are not the problem (or, at least, a major component of i…

    This narrative isn't helpful. Even in this specific case, it's extremely unlikely anyone would have been able to get close enough to him with a knife to kill him without someone no…

    I'll take a shot at rationale for this perspective, which is similar to a peer comment: The tech is undoubtedly impressive, and I'm sure has a ton of headroom to grow (although I h…

    To be fair, if those people are right, then NVIDIA's stock price (and revenue) is part of that bubble , so its not really evidence that this isn't a bubble. Time will tell if they'…

    Both things can be true. The tech can be transformative, and the current valuations and burn rate can be wholly unsustainable in the short term. This is exactly what happened in th…

    It is absolutely possible for the unit economics of a product to be profitable and for the parent company to be losing money. In fact, it's extremely common when the company is bul…

    This, similar to your other comment, is unrelated to my comment. This is about determining if AI can be a equivalent or better (defined as: achieving equal or better clinical outco…

    I'm not exactly sure how this relates to my comment above. An analysis of an airline crash and a study are not the same thing. As it relates to study design, controlling for set an…

    This is an interesting take. By this perspective, it's essentially impossible to ever gauge the efficacy of AI in doing anything, because the people who will know how to measure th…
