Model != AI tool. Especially with Gemini, the model is fantastic, both in benchmarks and in the API. Sentiment is not that positive for Google AI.

Why? Reddit is full of bug fixes and improved forks. Seems like it's Anthropic that's dropping the ball with it's takedown requests instead of engaging with the community.

Yes. Some important parts of the software, like complex tools, art, or the use of symbols only appeared between 100.000 and 50.000 years ago, however.

I don't understand how that would limit evolution. Bigger bodies can evolve together with bigger hearts, as already witnessed with the very whales being researched.

Privacy protection has the exact same issue. Wiretapping laws were created at the time there was literally a detective listening to a private phone conversation as it was happening. Now we record almost everything online, and processing it is trivial and essentially free. The safeguards are the same but the scale of privacy invasion is many orders of magnitude different.

> Yet, human achievement in domains such as career success tends to peak much later, typically between the ages of 55 and 60. This discrepancy may reflect the fact that, while fluid intelligence may decline with age, other dimensions improve (e.g., crystallized intelligence, emotional intelligence).

Isn't it about accumulated human capital (aka social networks) and experience more than anything else?

They sort of address this in the next sentence: "But if people run into problems, they can make a complaint and it will be looked into."

Random checks and whistleblowing are used in other, more "serious" processes, e.g., tax checks. At least here in Europe.

Sounds like a fraud against investors? That could be a way to attack this problem because in the U.S., many issues get turned into laws and regulations protecting shareholders.
