    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…

    > 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…

    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…

    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. …

    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 ow…

    True! (value - cost) would be better. I was more so limiting myself to the simpler heuristic where people only pay roughly what they personally think something is worth, and not si…

    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 …

    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 necess…

    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 st…

    I doubt it. More plausibly: You registered the domain. You created the webpage. And then you created an agent to act as the first 'pope' on Moltbook with very specific instructions…

    I agree. It's very missleading. Here's what the authors actually say: > AI assistance produces significant productivity gains across professional domains, particularly for novice w…

    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 can…

    Isn't most research and scientific data is already shared openly (in publications usually)?

    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/u…
