it's not securities fraud if investors make a lot of money

Yes, that's what I'm addressing with my comment above.

Ethically, if you extend this reasoning, are we not obligated to find a position in the most morally repulsive organization we are aware of, and then coast?

If you show revenue, people will ask "How much?" And it will never be enough, but if you have no revenue, you can say you're pre-revenue. You're a potential pure play. It's not abo…

My gut instinct is that this would be a hugely underperforming investment strategy on both an absolute and risk adjusted basis. I would welcome empirical evidence contradicting my …

I directionally agree with you. But there are plenty of examples of scientists being extremely petty, political or egotistical further back in history. Newton and Leibniz. Gauss wi…

The article has several paragraphs addressing these points...

You can just sell the options. You don't need to exercise.

Dan Simmons' books often include AI plot elements and contemplate the consequences of humans becoming overly reliant on AI such that they lose basic competencies.

Ah, that makes sense. Given your original comment, I was considering unevenly distributed life across an infinite universe. But you're right of course, that is irrelevant to the fe…

Isn't that just the observable universe?

With AI, there can be more content, produced faster and probably more cheaply, that is tailored to individual users.

Do you think every business owns the land and building it operates in? Real estate is expensive. Maintaining a building is expensive. There are plenty of businesses that rent to av…

Critique of Pure Reason is Kant. I thought you were making a joke based on the earlier mixup between Kant and Wittgenstein. Late Wittgenstein is Philosophical Investigations. There…

Have you read later Wittgenstein?

My gripe is that the commenter above cites early Wittgenstein as an example of the failure of philosophy as a whole, while ignoring (or perhaps being unaware) that later Wittgenste…

Okay, but you initially criticized Wittgenstein, the philosopher, not Tractatus, the work. Wittgenstein himself would agree that Tractatus is deeply flawed. He wrote his more influ…

Someone who is discrediting all of philosophy shouldn't confuse Wittgenstein and Kant. Further, Wittgenstein disavowed Tractatus as a failed project and completely revised his appr…

The gp gets carry

Any particular papers you would recommend? The links are to blogs with lots of papers.

Thanks. Appreciate your feedback. Do you think LLMs have meaningfully greater capabilities than existing tools (like Kira)? I take your point on low stakes contracts vs. sophistica…

In fairness some lawyers will too, haha. I take your point, though. Good lawyers care about their reputation and strive to protect it.

How do you think organizations can best use the contractual interpretations provided by LLMs? To expand on that, good lawyers don't just provide contractual interpretations, they p…

It's a logical reaction, at least superficially, to the touted capabilities of Gen AI and LLMs. But once you start trying to use the tech for actual legal applications, it doesn't …
