although, if Trump wants to take over sucking dick in a gay bar..... I mean, he does have a lot of experience with Putin and Netanyahu

thank you for raising awareness on this, I had no clue

I want to boycott Lockheed Martin but man.... I was really looking forward to getting that Black Hawk helicopter for Xmas! No, but really, a few of the companies in this list are a relative surprise (Bcom, AirBnB), others are well known pieces of s*t, a few are literally in the military industry and are probably involved in every conflict in the world (or they are actively trying to)

Is Ukraine close to Putin's record at killing Russians?

but... but.... reasoning models! AGI! Singularity! Seriously, what you're saying is true, but it's not what OpenAI & Co are trying to peddle, so these experiments are a good way to call them out on their BS.

Congrats then, you write better than a LLM!

Interestingly, your original comment is not much longer and I find it much easier to read.

Was it written with the help of a LLM? Not being sarcastic, I'm just trying to understand if the (perceived) deterioration in quality was due to the fact that the input was already LLM-assisted.

They are just checking if there's something in there that someone hasn't already sent to a journalist on a Signal chat, or blurted out in conversations with foreign government members

In order to make sure they were wealthy enough, I'm sure he personally tested them one by one, challenging to send him a big donation in cryptocurrencies.

That's what a committed President-slash-genius looks like!

60% success rate sounds like a very optimistic take. Investing in a AI startup with 60% chance of success? That's a VC's wet dream!

"Eventually" might be a long time with radiation.

20 years after the Chernobyl disaster the level of radiation was still high enough to give you a good chance of cancer if you went to live there for a few years.

I don't know how much radiation these "tactical" weapons release, but if it's comparable to Chernobyl, even if the buildings were not originally damaged, I don't know how fit they would be for living after being abandoned for 30 or 40 years.

 

Most of our financial decisions are already algorithmically driven.

Now with this vision of the near future where e-commerce uses only AI-generated content on apps built by AI developers and AI-agents (soon?) buying it independently, money does not need a human in the middle any longer.

 

I have posted this on Reddit (askeconomics) a while back but got no good replies. Copying it here because I don't want to send traffic to Reddit.

What do you think?

I see a big push to take employees back to the office. I personally don't mind either working remote or in the office, but I think big companies tend to think rationally in terms of cost/benefit and I haven't seen a convincing explanation yet of why they are so keen to have everyone back.

If remote work was just as productive as in-person, a remote-only company could use it to be more efficient than their work-in-office competitors, so I assume there's no conclusive evidence that this is the case. But I haven't seen conclusive evidence of the contrary either, and I think employers would have good reason to trumpet any findings at least internally to their employees ("we've seen KPI so-and-so drop with everyone working from home" or "project X was severely delayed by lack of in-person coordination" wouldn't make everyone happy to return in presence, but at least it would make a good argument for a manager to explain to their team)

Instead, all I keep hearing is inspirational wish-wash like "we value the power of working together". Which is fine, but why are we valuing it more than the cost of office space?

On the side of employees, I often see arguments like "these companies made a big investment in offices and now they don't want to look stupid by leaving them empty". But all these large companies have spent billions to acquire smaller companies/products and dropped them without a second thought. I can't believe the same companies would now be so sentimentally attached to office buildings if it made any economic sense to close them.
