    I think a more interesting experiment would be to train an LLM on a dataset that had zero references to "first person POV" sentences. And then see if the final model somehow develo…

    Seems like a way to justify stock valuations of OpenAI while picking up some good talent to go after vertical stack as the foundation models become commodified. Smart play.

    If they are Delaware C corporations and you own at least one share, you have a legal right to demand access to the cap table.

    Language in humans is a VERY strange behavior. I think the stoned ape theory may have some credence, as mushrooms do seem to excite linguistic capabilities.

    It's impossible to enforce a law like this. The real solution is to create personal AI filters for each person that reads all the data for the user, filters out anything that doesn…

    This is because of the way most software is built. If you are using event modeling, it's very easy to estimate feature costs. The only exception is when you are truly innovating ne…

    The problem is that eventually, AI will get so powerful that it will block all ads on the client without anyway of detecting it. Adblockers today are very basic and have no underst…

    Just add a premium tier or partner with coding bootcamps. Don't give up so easily.

    Bitcoin is like a virtual Swiss watch, with the base layer being the center wheel and PoW mining being the mainspring. The third wheel is the BIP300 protocol and the fourth wheel i…

    The only way this is feasible is if you find a way to code in a DSL and have AI generate all the implementation. A browser is extremely complicated.

    We keep trying to solve a business model problem with technology and it seems impossible. Until we can find a way to make the end users the customer and not the product, we will al…

    There is a huge opportunity for a DAO to buy, fractionalize, insure, and create a rent-to-own program. Real estate investors can be disintermediated.
