Have you ever heard of affiliate fraud?

Your comment claims that academics do not correct other academics.

Your comment appears on a post in which, literally, academics are correcting other academics.

What about $10000 human with many $200 agents?

You seem to be confusing intelligence with objective function.

Subservience seems to be sublimation of objectives to a master; intelligence seems to point out the ability to realize suboptimality of the master's objective function according to the master's actual objectives.

While an intelligent general may be absolutely loyal, he also would presumably help the king/president to avoid unproductive strategies.

Prompting is a skill.

I understand why this external view exists, as dissemination is inherently part of the scientific mission; but if you look more carefully, you will see that it is simultaneously science promotion, and many of the best participants do not shamelessly promote themselves.

Disagree. I have been driving Kia for 2.5 years. I think the UX is quite good.

I would assume that most people who live in a city would want to know when the Kia is unlocked at home. I think your dislike of that feature may reflect your residence type or garage type.

My experience of Tesla UX was poor, given how few manual controls were available, and the extensive touchscreen reliance required while driving.

False. There is no Economic Law of Consolidation such as you posit here. Haircuts are a mature market, yet plenty of small providers thrive. Counterexamples to your extraordinary claim abound.

The actual economics in highly competitive markets depend on what is known as the Minimum Efficient Scale, which in turn depends on the shape of the cost function.

It's nice if you find something you previously care about. But it can go the other way too-- you can care more about what you work on. You can focus on the reasons it is good, or efficient, or honest, or solves real problems, or whatever other metavalue motivates you to care more.

Oh come on. So you're rooting for the evil genius in the comic book movie? You would harm millions of people to move up the financial success yardstick?

I don't think many people would agree with such positions.

I do think that people who have succeeded financially might adopt that ethos as an ex post rationalization.

You could engineer the feed to maximize user satisfaction, rather than maximizing usage.

If Intuit and other tax preparers can protect their tax preparation rents at the expense of all income earners, then it is not difficult to believe that the medical industry is also able to protect its own rents.

There are two basic topics:

1. Talk about them. Start by paying attention to them. Then when you notice something that was clearly an intentional choice on their part, say something nice about it. Listen carefully to what they say, and follow up in response without filtering yourself.

2. Talk about us. Notice some aspect of experience that you are both sharing. The weather is the most popular and safest topic.

Can you think of any instances where powerful tech companies broke laws, perhaps in ways that increased profit?

It's not complicated. That random garbage increases advertising revenues. Maybe not from every user, but certainly in the aggregate.

It's also possible that users could misuse the reporting system, in order to get other users' accounts suspended.

Requiring N distinct reports of a suspension reason would seem to reduce misuses of the reporting system.

The 17-reports threshold might have been found to balance type-1 and type-2 errors, as account removals are costly actions when made in error or as a result of reporting-system misuse.

It sounds to me like you should contact your good friends more often.

Many people do not know that Impact Factor is gameable. Unethical publications have gamed it. Therefore a higher IF may or may not indicate higher prominence. Use Scimago journal rankings for non-gameable scores.

claims like these require a source

The question is what average; some people apparently view "in the US" as implying US population-level averages (which it does not explicitly imply), whereas authors report the average within adopting households, which for this study's data source, all happen to be in the US

It seems like we will need either legislation or litigation, if we want things to improve.

OK, but do you realize that the worst cases from places like yours get exported to SF, NYC and other hubs, for them to deal with?

And you're out here bragging about what you "let" your neighbors and kids do. And bragging about visiting two US cities.

You had me until you said that "all of it is fleeting and ultimately meaningless - relationships, work, accomplishments. (and many, many more)"

My dear friend. These are the only types of meaning that matters, and its fleeting nature is why we need to appreciate and savor them.

This is the reason the higher-ups in finance who rely on Brenda might continue to rely on Brenda, rather than relying on AI. She offers them accountability.

> If you want restrictions on gambling, on advertising it, on participating in it, on making money from it, you want to restrict individual liberty.

No.

An organization's liberty to advertise is not individual liberty.

Let individuals gamble. Do not let organizations advertise gambling services. Organizational liberty is not individual liberty.

I think you're pointing in the right direction, but I would rephrase as,

what's the likelihood that the solution exists in the github repo in a way that the machine can recognize as relevant to your prompt?

If many versions of the solution exist, due to the problem's common occurrence, and if you can evaluate the LLM's output, then you're good to go.

I would call it a constructive contrarian claim, quite distinct from trolling.

Or it would take a strong base of reviews to establish a moat and the premium pricing that enables.

OK so you believe "Elon was right" and people should "ignore the comments" Hmm very interesting.

User ownership could help, if users know what they want
