@Noahpinion You’re such a tedious little troll now. Good grief. There’s a big, deep market for you to go get ripped apart in if you want to be accountable for this position in any meaningful way. Anyway, that was my last bite.

Everyone talking about AI job displacement was always so focused on the working class. They thought only the highest-IQ people would still be valuable. But it turned out mathematicians got replaced long before truckers did.

@TimDuy I’ve been a college educated adult in the job market since 2006 and people have uniformly bitched about how bad the economy is every year I’ve been alive at every level of U-3, U-6, and LFP U-3 is under 5%, suck it up

@AvgJoesCrypto @bharat_usd I’d bet $COIN saw huge ACH flows to DraftKings / FanDuel and the argument then becomes hey gamblers, you have cash here, why background our app and go somewhere else to give it away

@ContrarianCurse Nominally good that they have pricing power because it’s indicative of value but what does the actual price need to be assuming a sustainable margin, reasonable churn, and competition from e.g. google who can just copy everything but the model itself at n% < 100 of cost

Claude has enough buy-in and is delivering at a rate that I’m going to say the Max plans come up in price soon

@MidwestHedgie I suppose “secretly” is true if the concept of an insurance mechanism is novel, which is true about a median voter My concern is that Medicaid is so egregiously outrunning every tether - GDP, real income, etc. - that we need a real value discussion

"ObamaCare *secretly* transfers resources from not chronically ill people and uses them to help chronically ill people" Says a man whose career at this point is mostly helping rich Americans dodge tax on their alternative investment strategy

It’s just the burger robot problem The burger robot problem has always been that a kid is cheaper and more flexible than the burger robot. Is Claude a burger robot or will the incredible cash bonfire required to produce these services at scale end
sp6r=underrated@sp6runderrated

I'm very skeptical this is true despite believe AI will raise structural unemployment. Tech has a hype culture. I'm basically fine with it. But if your hype culture involves making rhetoric like this you will lose public esteem.

@mert Multiple CEOs who pay for this in enterprise claim 30% prod gains in agentic workflows at scale So: if Ant charged cost + a sustainable margin to access their models / tools, would that number be meaningfully less than 30% of dev spend at, like, JPMC If no, uh oh

@MarcGoldwein I would rather personally take the 2.7-2.9 beneficiaries I currently fund into the woods and leave them there than give up a single penny of what the SSA established I was owed when I paid. Make it solvent by terminating payments at 75.

2) The Six Figure Limit (SFL) would improve solvency. Social Security is less than seven years from insolvency, and face a massive structural funding gap. Depending on how its indexed, the SFL could close 20%-55% of the shortfall. 3/

🚨🚨🚨 This year, a couple retiring at the normal retirement age (~67) could collect $100,000 in Social Security benefits. 💰💵 Our new Six Figure Limit would cap benefits at that level. A short 🧵

@buccocapital Less than five percent of all Americans, the richest society in the world, have completed the hurdle of maxing 401(k) / IRA contributions annually which I would put before putting a single penny in a 529 etc.

@SkyeSharkie Deleting the API has exactly one possible meaning, and it’s “we cannot afford to let people use this compute for another second”

Deleting the API too signals some deep financial problems, noticed they removed the Microsoft account login on chatGPT as well, is OpenAI committing sepukku? The Sora models should be open sourced, this is ridiculous. Could this Sora thing be government driven? Sora has been heavily used for fake war footage. hmm...
Sora@soraofficialapp

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

@HedgeDirty That's what I mean by "kind of person" because a lot of people hear "pick three random words out of the scrabble dictionary" and pick three "random" words. The lens is how people hear the advice and tend to behave.

@ChuckFlay Hence my advice to "pick 3 random words out of the scrabble dictionary" rather than come up with 3 on your own
