How can one not understand that UBI is captured by inflation.

Its just a modern religion really because anyone can understand this it is so basic and obvious.

You don't have to point out some bullshit captured study that says otherwise.

She is obviously a true believer or very clever self promoter that knows her target market.

The real question is why is such stupid shit like this being posted here?

Anthropic is actually a great example of the free market working well.

To compare OpenAI to Standard Oil just shows the person has no idea of the business practices of Standard Oil.

Sounds like the current zeitgeist.

Seems like it should be useful beyond demos but we aren't sure what those use cases would be. Just need to wait for AGI and then..

I have actually spent about 20 minutes now and I can't think anything worth asking the model in this context.

I would look up how medical students use Anki.

The efficient part would be learning to make cards and decks efficiently.

I can't imagine going back to school and not using Anki.

I think many people have anxiety from a type of cognitive dissonance in this area.

They don't want to make friends, they want someone else to want to be their friend so they know they are liked in the real world. That is what is missing, not the actual experience of friendship. Even if someone asked them to be their friend, many would say no because it would take time away from what is really important to them. Netflix, Reddit, Doordash, Amazon, Hinge, and Pornhub.

How do I know this? Because it exactly describes myself.

Grand Transitions: How the Modern World Was Made by Vaclav Smil

Just a wonderful book.

Not saying I agree with the parent comment but the reason would be because the concept of the efficient market is overly simplistic nonsense?

It is really a great example of how much human knowledge is really just the repeating of a standardized, agreed upon orthodoxy that has little to do with reality. In the 21st century the "expert" in various forms reinforces the orthodoxy far beyond the 20th century.

Economics can't even catch up to the 1980s and dynamic systems.

Even then though, there is a giant global debit maturity wall from covid that needs refinancing at much higher interest rates that starts coming due in 2026 and 2027.

That is much sooner than fiscal dominance in the US. I suspect we can go to 100 trillion in debt at least without fiscal dominance. I suspect everyone will understand what fiscal dominance is in the 2030s though.

This liquidity problem from debt refinancing is much nearer.

Or read Sapolsky on how this line of though is simply stupid and ignorant.

No irony in this comment lol.

Embarrassingly, I spent even longer with Midjourney to come to the same conclusion.

It really isn't an issue with AI art but the limited, uncreative output of AI art models. I suspect many artists have been removed from earlier midjourney models too as well along with human input has softened the edges overall.

Then is just a matter of time that someone will comment on how you have to use stable diffusion and how much better stable diffusion is but that is because they mean "art" in the context of AI hentai.

Photoshop AI fill sounds like the greatest thing ever but the output is the same useless slop, not even as good as Midjourney. Only good for press releases and cherry picked best examples.

I don't like AI art in blogs because to me it is just signalling you haven't spent enough time with AI tools yet to understand these images look like shit. The other blog content then is framed in the same light.

I took off 18 months in my early 40s to study a few subjects that really do not have much economic value.

I would say it was ultimately a mistake. While I stormed out of the gate I got way too comfortable after a few months and ultimately lazy. The mistake was in thinking this wasn't going to happen for me. I would also say the subjective feeling of time was much too fast.

The upside though was that was my retirement basically and the realization that is not what I want from life is quite valuable.

It is worse than that though.

Credit markets don't work without inflation and none of this progress in the last 400 years happens without credit markets.

The age of this bond and the march out of the dark ages is not unrelated.

We also seem to suffer these automation delusions right now.

I could see how AI could assist me with learning pure math but the idea AI is going to do pure math for me is just absurd.

Not only would I not know how to start, more importantly I have no interest in pure math. There will still be a huge time investment to get up to speed with doing anything with AI and pure math.

You have to know what questions to ask. People with domain knowledge seem to really be selling themselves short. I am not going to randomly stumble on a pure math problem prompt when I have no idea what I am doing.
