Anyone who sells to ordinary consumers has to pay 20-30% taxes, and so do their customers, and so on, so eventually the money dwindles to nothing as it exchanges hands. Meanwhile, mega-corporations don't pay any taxes on their on income no matter how many steps their money goes.

We should not tax anyone that sells services to consumers. Waitstaff, daycare professionals, nursing aids, etc should have a tax rate of 0%.

To strongman your argument, "LLMs with a supervised training pipeline cannot become intelligent".

RL training pipelines are much more open-ended, and experts still unsure one way or the other if an LLM + RL could lead to intelligence.

No need to be threatening swatting people please

We all know who was responsible. This was a blatant attack by maga, plain and simple. There will be no real investigation from the government or police, and they want us to know that.

If you’re looking for something to do to feel less powerless, gear up to stay safe. Get cameras, fire extinguishers, defense materials, anything helps. The more of us that are prepared the safer we all are.

It’s tricky. Currently we are in a bubble, but we’re also on track for massive inflation so shorting could still lose even if number goes up. I would sell everything and buy land or REITs.

Ought

I don’t see why either side is trying to disown the dude. He turned himself in. That’s so brave, and the right thing to do regardless of affiliation.

Paywall = clickbait. If they want your money they can say anything just to get you to click.

Which of these should be contested and which should be validated?

Identities don’t really need to be either validated or contested, especially if the person didn’t ask for it. Validation will likely win you more friends, though.

Obv use their preferred names and pronouns to be respectful, as with any person. But beyond that, there’s really no need to get involved in their identity at all. It’s a deeply personal thing and it’s unlikely they’ll change it for anyone other than themselves.

I’ve listened to Ruth Porat speak before and nothing about this article matches that. It feels fake or taken wildly out of context. As a general rule she doesn’t say much that isn’t already publicly released, and this doesn’t match any of the statements google’s released recently.

For the uninitiated, she’s the kind of person who would say “you bring up a great point” before then explaining why you’re wrong. So it feels disingenuous to not include the full sentence in the quote, and then to also not link to the source video is sus.

Edit: Thanks commenter🫡 They did link the source, at least, but yeah my other points.

I'm not necessarily autistic, but when I tell people I'm neurodivergent, they're like "yup" 😓
