You’re imagining a last minute perfectly executed response after what appears to be a series of gross errors of judgement. Rarely works that way.

FDA requires 97% reduction to claim “decaf”. Swiss Water Process removes 99.9% for example.

> studies at Microsoft and elsewhere showing it’s closer to 14 percent

This is a depressing stat. The real productivity gains come from leaving soul sucking big tech companies where nothing gets done with any sort of urgency.

Yeah I’m confused about this part. Is there some loophole where they never have to pay the loan back? Otherwise they’d be taxed at that point.

Do people do that? Can I e.g. borrow against my assets and not pay any taxes? Curious to learn more.

Perhaps it’s a generational change? People who grew up with computers went on to be more productive with them, something like that might happen with AI too.

I’d give humans some credit, they’re an adaptable bunch. AI won’t replace humans in the same way humans did not replace cockroaches. It’s a non-sequitur.

The problem is the amount of data with that cutoff is really minuscule to produce anything powerful. You might be able to generate a lot of 1700s sounding data, you’d have to be careful not to introduce newer concepts or ways of thinking in that synthetic data though. A lot of modern texts talk about rates of change and the like in ways that are probably influenced by preexisting knowledge of calculus.

I’ve noticed some people with seemingly fulfilling hobbies stop doing them after quitting their job as well. It’s entirely possible all those hobbies are valuable precisely as something powerful to latch onto and disconnect from the day job, and seem pointless the day after quitting. Seems like you had a strong sense of identity outside of your job already before quitting. Building that could be a lot of hard work for other people (and it sometimes comes as a surprise that it even needs to be built).

This could have been written almost verbatim after the printing press came out and printed pamphlets became ubiquitous.

It would be hilarious if he intentionally or accidentally lost the key, and has been trying to cash out through those Bitcoin adjacent business ventures ever since.

Let’s just hope that the people in charge of the really important decisions that affect us all approach LLM generated advice with the same wisdom.

Don’t know why this is being downvoted, that’s exactly right. One needs only to attend a local city meeting about any smallest step towards more development to see how the voters think.
