It is the entrenched media and the politicians amplifying this because the narrative is no longer in their control.

Beautifully written essay.

The benefits of serendipity are intractable by design whereas throughput gains can be readily measured (or at least we think so).

The OP notes a point - "who did you think with?" -- maybe there are points based on some social graph, that adds weightage to a particular output?

Edit : Other posters have said it is AI generated, I did not catch it, but felt the point was well-made. I dont know the author, but lets assume that he is not a good writer but had these valuable insights, did this AI generation not add value here?

To the person themselves, AI replaces the creativity that one would have used their minds, but to the second person and beyond, the creativity that sparked the imagination (as simple as a few sentences describing a situation) would be quite helpful. I have'nt checked if this existed, but I had imagined if Feynman taught Biology, how would he do it? Today, AI can do that, enhancing outcomes.

while taste does matter, for many practical applications, what AI produces is 'tasty enough'

i think the spread of youtube shorts and tiktoks is the reason for this. In around a minute, an expert provides a quick summary (talking points) in a digestible format that the person fully understands, but of course, no details or caveats etc are provided. Because this person now is able to understand that content, they conflate that understanding to an much broader understanding. This is even in areas they should know more, like the current geo-political or trade conflicts

edit : is there a name for what I am describing, different from the Gell-man amnesia? ( which assumes experts?).

who receives (or has received) actual payments ( other than the lawyers)? I think we need some service that is able to break this out

wow, did'nt know. but thats brilliant!

however, i did wonder at the decor at my local thai restaurants and they were definitely using some ethnic pieces, and now I realize...

what do mean with the example of thailand and thai food, and why is that a psy-op? Every country tries to subsidize and dump excess production of stuff they produce

perfect is the enemy of the good...

how about some of them being ADA-conforming, with maps noting where they are?

the public bathroom should be redesigned so that one can do only the thing it is designed for - and maybe it needs to be a single-user design.

Almost like an airline bathroom size - might be a bit claustrophobic but these are for emergencies and space saving would be big.

the doors could be wired to sensors that are connected to a central network that shows in real-time the availability and also some alarms if something is out of the ordinary etc.

considering that most non-profits barely have any data, i dont know what MS' incentive is, in not holding on to the data... it definitely must be in the TBs

maybe, the calories for that item, and a lower limit that counts as a full meal?

Is Musk's Starlink capable of filling the gap for this large population?

Are there good suggestions for a personal finance class at the high school level that one can take online?
