It's not _solely_ a Trump thing, but he gave RFK an enormous platform and has himself been espousing demonstrably untrue things about vaccines and vaccination schedules. This very …

Unlike a lot of pathogenic diseases, measles requires an extraordinarily high amount of herd immunity (upwards of 95%), so this isn't a particularly telling data point on its own.

True, but RFK (and other politicians and celebrities) have been active in pushing some form of anti-vax ideology for a decade plus, in some cases back to the 1970s. It's been a gro…

Honestly you're lucky there were any leaves left. You must have caught it within two or three hours after its arrival. In the US we have similar hawk moths; the tomato hornworm als…

No. But do you need to run every small problem through a 10B-30B model? We're smashing ants with hammers most of the time. We're asking frontier Opus/Fable models to classify text …

> But they first need adoption. I think they've got that. Short of budget stuff or the Slate truck, most new cars have some big dumb screen in them at all times. But advertising po…

Obviously they read it, but it's 2026 and entirely possible to publish an article without having read a word of it :) All that said, I think initially it was a mix of a few things …

Provide financial incentives to make it worse.

> Everyone constantly does! In the aggregate, I agree, but in tech things are pretty loose outside of California.

It was purely a hype/media play.

Elon wanted precisely the same model.

You can't buy the OS directly, but it certainly isn't free.

I think this is a good point, but it ignores the idea that a human form is not the ideal (or even closet to) one to do specific and generalized jobs.

On the one hand I understand this fairly deeply. I started doing "ML" ~ 20 years ago building classifiers people would laugh at today and even at the time barely impressed people w…

Which is probably why they created another, for-profit, entity. You can argue that it's unlikely the for-profit conservatorship of the non-profit is incompatible with that goal, bu…

Well Twitter has other investors, too. But he'll also likely be shaving equity here and there along the way to hedge this bet.

A more "hardcore" team will keep telling him he can win on appeals, and bill accordingly.

I don't want to spoil it for you, but ...

Given all that, maybe we shouldn't have attacked. Doesn't seem like it really did anything.

The latter, their arrangement with OpenAI enabled this.

> If so, why do you think lobbying exists? Specifically because it's not a natural market. There are people who secure a 2-year, consequence-free term to impact U.S. law, at the be…

No offense intended here, but this probably isn't the place to promote your package, given it's a story about a massive and incredibly popular dependency that managed to get got.

Clever/novel ideas are very often subtle deviations from known, existing work. Sometimes just having the time/compute to explore the available space with known knowledge is enough …

CV is a space where I would 100% agree with you. But - edge cases notwithstanding - there's not so much of a dropoff with NER that I would first go to an LLM.

> f"Extract the company name from: {text}" I think one thing that's lost in all of the LLM tooling is that it's LLM-or-nothing and people have lost knowledge of other ML approaches…
