FRED lets you control for population actually! It does flatten the change a bit but it's still a bump: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1Q8J6

That seems like a thought terminating concept? Every business has risks.
The employees should know what they are getting into and hopefully the business is providing resources to help keep them reasonably safe.

The framers noted that the system was vulnerable to a single "faction" [1]. The solution was to have many competing factions. I think first-past-the-post, corporate election influence, and mass media consolidated power into a single faction that ended up causing the system to break down (in that the branches don't seem to be checking each other's power right now).

It appears this will be an opt in feature.
Honestly it will probably help some people "hey where did I put that file?" but yes at a tremendous cost to privacy and security for those who use it.
I am also weary that it is opt in "for now".

No singular person, it's more the value of having a large database. You visit a coffee shop, a stalker collects your dna from a fingerprint and uses the a leaked or sold database from 23andme to tie it to your identity or home address, etc.
Interestingly this also works if a direct relative has used it as well.

One advantage of uuids is they can be generated on several distributed systems without having to check with each other that they are unique. Only long ids make this reliable. Youtube ids are random and short, but youtube has to check they are unique when generating them.
Maybe one way is to split up a random assignment space and assign to each distributed node, but that would be more complex.

Having tons of people employ human ingenuity to manipulate existing LLMs into passing this one benchmark kind of defeats the purpose of testing for "AGI". The author points this out as it's more of a pattern matching test.
Though on the other hand figuring out which manipulations are effective does teach us something. And I think most problems boil down to pattern matching, creating a true, easily testable AGI test may be tough.

> estimated 2.4 million items
That's 5 years if one person worked on it nonstop without sleeping and each item took 60 seconds.
I would assume they probably sit in a secure location and items on display or items leaving/transferred are catalogued first so there's bit of a triage and backlog.
Museums probably don't want to turn down valuable item donations even if they don't have the resources to catalogue if right away.

Not a lawyer but those contracts aren't legal. You need something called "consideration" ie something new of value to be legal. They can't just take away something of value that was already agreed upon.
However they could add this to new employee contracts.
