It’s also great for testing your own arguments. I will regularly ask Claude, “Is this factual? What are the strongest criticisms?” about something I am about to say. More often than not, I will at least tweak a comment, or sometimes even realize I am completely wrong before posting publicly.

Money makes it possible for people to afford food and healthcare

> What is the exact number when it's no longer acceptable?

You’d have to calculate how many lives speed saves. How many people had an organ delivered just within the safe transplant time? How many people were able to eat because a grain shipment could be diverted after a bad harvest? How many people didn’t contract cholera, because it takes minutes to manufacture pipes?

I’d be willing to believe that. For most of my use cases though, prompt quality doesn’t matter all that much. It’s mostly searching for/in docs

From my own experience, a significant minority of my daily writing is sent to an LLM, which is very forgiving of typos. I would not be surprised if people are getting sloppier.

>assumes no change in household behaviour in response to the new tax

Lol, my behavior would change a lot if I was paying $2 per gig, my god

Incidentally, auctions of time bounded licenses, which are what we use to allocate frequency spectrum, have the same theoretical pareto efficiency as a value tax.

Bleaker than bleak is an accurate description but it actually ends on what I would consider to be a hopeful note, a moment of true kindness. Worth the read.

This is a serious misunderstanding of the Bartz case, which resulted in a $1.5B settlement on the part of Anthropic to authors whose works they pirated from LibGen

This is an odd take. By this logic, you should never hire someone that is financially independent and can walk away from a job.

>They don't know what they are quoting or citing.

What do you mean by this? I have passed very large documents into LLMs and they are able to accurately extract quotes and identify their location in the source documents. I don’t see any reason to think that they couldn’t accurately quote from and cite existing literature.

Funnily enough, there’s a good chance Truman never said those words; the earliest known attribution of the quote to him is from a Time magazine article written in 1988. It’s not in any of his personal writing or speeches.
