How long do you estimate it took him to read the article?

> the author broke a social contract by probably putting less effort into writing this than I did reading it.

I seriously doubt that.

First, the author documented a substantial effort (testing, emails, references to documentation.)

Second, I also used AI to evaluate if this was written by AI, and my AI said it was not.

> Broken sentences that a model wouldn't produce. "The value is while you are on ChatGPT and tied to your ChatGPT account" is missing a word. "Loading that code, sends __obi to OpenAI" has a comma splitting subject from verb. "By the virtue of loading the tag the identifier is disclosed" is non-idiomatic. LLMs are fluent to a fault; these are the fingerprints of a fast human writer, possibly a non-native English speaker.

Third, I read it. Whilst it is not well written, it is succinct. It is novel. It has a few detailed references. It lacks many of the hallmarks of AI. It makes a number of novel yet falsifiable claims.

I challenge you to come up with a blog post with these qualities that can be created in under 15 minutes via AI.

While I commend you on actually using an AI tool to validate your assumption, rather than simply hurling AI slop accusations based purely on vibes, I do think you and your AI tool are likely incorrect.

He spent the next month coming up with an algorithm to solve it, not knowing if such an algorithm was even possible.

After he sold the puzzle, he traveled around to various conferences, to prove it could be solved.

It took Ernő Rubik four years to develop the cube.

He immediately scrambled it, then spent the next month figuring out if it could be solved.

Luckily no one told him there were 43 quintillion valid combinations.

This is exactly correct. Here is what the latest issue covers:

His exfiltration of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro was swift, effective and - as we found in our follow-up reporting - surprisingly popular among Venezuelans (plo). But then the 47th president threw himself into a new venture, a major attack on Iran. Far from being a surgical strike à la Caracas, it rapidly spiralled into a regional conflagration which threatened to blast the global economy off its hinges. We have analysed the build-up and fall-out of the Iran war in forensic detail in an infographic extravaganza (p70). While Trump loomed large throughout the quarter, adding an Ice operation in Minneapolis (p30) and unseemly wranglings over Greenland (p50) into the headline-grabbing mix, his was not the only game in town. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested (P66), a football final turned into theatrical chaos (p40), the power of Al gave hope to sufferers of ultra-rare diseases (p80) and victory was declared over ferrets on a Northern Irish island (p100). Meanwhile Nasa scientists announced fascinating revelations drawn from their analysis of a thimbleful of space dust obtained at great expense from a four billion-year-old asteroid (p56).

The satirically brilliant Genius AI detector correctly indicates it is not AI

Early internet wisdom was "don't feed the trolls" - I never realized trolling was from fishing.

Funny.

The didge forces you to learn circular breathing, it's cheaper, it is easier to learn, and is easier to play well. Plus I think it sounds better. Everyone should learn to play the didgeridoo. Bagpipes are a whole another level, and feel more like a practical joke gone horribly wrong (Sorry Gran.)

AI is your Google and your yellow rubber ducky (rubber duck debugging) all rolled into one.

We intuitively think large documents show significant thought.

I don't just mean the readers.

The generators of slop often think this is useful.

Things have changed.

Our intuition has not.

“If cracking propagates with continued use and strain, the wheel stud could eventually separate from the wheel hub.”

That quote is from Tesla, in the linked article. That says the wheel can fall off.

I've been doing that for two decades. Most of the spam comes directly to my primary gmail. Because I shared that with friends and family. And at least some of my friends and family shared their entire contact list with the wrong app at least once.

This article however is talking about publishing your email address on a public website. It matches my experience, that simple javascript concatenation stops 100% of spam. Not that I would or ever did trust my primary email address to that.

I am genuinely curious about your work lifestyle.

The freedom to travel anywhere while working sounds awesome.

The ability to work anywhere while traveling sounds less so.

Looks like they already closed this arbitrage opportunity?

When I try to ship a lemon to a friend I get "There was a problem with some of the items in your order (see below for more information): Sorry, Lemon can't be shipped to the address you selected. Please remove the item or select another address."

Pity, my friend needed a lemon, to know I was thinking of him.

Edit: I can ship a lemon for $3 shipping if I select my friends address prior to adding the lemon to the cart, but with no option for a gift note that I can see.

Fun fact. You can click into Popcornmeter and see verified audience reviews versus all reviews.

E.g. Audience who went to see 2025's Snow White loved it. Those who haven't seen it hated it. Who is more biased?

This surprised me as well, until I remembered how long it took advertisers to move from traditional advertising to the internet.

Even if you wanted to reallocate a significant portion of your advertising budget to LLMs, it's not clear how you would effectively do that and measure ROI.

The real revenue opportunity for OpenAI is advertising. More than 25% of Americans use ChatGPT instead of Google, and OpenAI has already announced partnership with Shopify to directly list products. But for now they are focused on market share.

Google does not really own the complete AI stack, NVDA is extracting a lot of the value there.

Google has two other impediments to doing what ChatGPT does.

Googles entire business model is built around search. They have augmented search with AI, but that is not the same as completely disrupting an incredibly profitable business model with an unprofitable and unproven business model.

Also... Americans are in the habit of going to ChatGPT now for AI. When you think of AI, you now think of ChatGPT first.

The real risk is we are at the tail end of a long economic boom cycle, OpenAI is incredibly dependent on additional funding rounds, and if we recess access to that funding gets cut off.

I pay for both.

MSRP of Honda Accord went from $15k-$30k in 2005 to $30k-$40k in 2025.

MSRP of one model is also not perfect, but it's another data point.

> the United States needs to manage its massive national debt,

> The present uncertainty around tariffs and a potential crisis could create conditions that pressure interest rates downward before those Treasury securities mature, by influencing Federal Reserve policy.

> What are the flaws in this thinking?

Flaw #1:

Massive treasury rollovers isn't new.

22% of all Treasuries have a duration of 1 year or less.

The only new thing is that rates have gone up.

Uncertainty is a short term solution to a long term problem.

Flaw #2:

Economic uncertainty and supply side shocks risks a recession.

Recessions usually increase national debt.

Flaw #3:

The right answer to reducing national debt is to ensure incomes exceed outgoings.

The current administration is so focused on extending trillion dollar tax cuts, no amount of tariffs or government efficiency is going to lower the national debt.

Flaw #4:

Treasuries only really go down during a recession.

Recessions are bad, not good.

If you think finding a tech job is hard now, or that your RSUs are hurting, wait until you see a serious recession.

Christian Bale's real accent is cockney english. His interviews are... very jarring.

We have a P0 to add calendar 445/ 544/ 454. This critical oversight is causing us to lose sales, as our sales folks never know when those companies fiscal year ends, and end up missing budgetary deadlines.

Also, my legal team says your color choices aren't compliant with Section 508, so regrettably, we do have to take legal action.

Without the speedstacks stackmat, (invented by this guys dad for sport stacking), I doubt speed cubing would be a thing.

This is for startups who are looking for that one in a hundred person hungry for their solution. Enterprises who have already scaled use an entirely different cook book to get the attention of a VP like yourself. A well-targeted and personalized email has a much better response rate for enterprises with a proven solution and well known brand.

I am. OP is correct. To get his or my attention, you would need to put in more significantly more effort than you are asking back.

Kagi provides a fantastic summarizer.

I have a bookmarklet for Kagi's Universal Summarizer, and if a long article or video doesn't immediately tell me "what it's gonna tell me" then I just click it.

  javascript:Object.assign(document.createElement("a"), {href: `https://kagi.com/summarizer/index.html?url=${encodeURIComponent(window.location)}`, target: "_blank"}).click();

Protip: Youtube changed something recently, and now I think you have to show the transcript and watch/wait a little bit before Kagi can find the transcript and summarize the video.

Amazing!

Yup. The correct query is:
