Singing improves singing. Not listening to music, singing.
You can study other singers, and you should. But you can listen to music every second of your life and die with the same voice you were born with.
Writing works the same way. Writing improves writing. Reading is research, not practice. You can read every book ever written and remain exactly the kind of writer you are today.
Most readers never become writers. Reading and writing are different activities that build different muscles. One is reception, the other is production. Confusing them is like believing that watching enough football will improve your passing game.
The work is the work. There is no substitute for it and no shortcut through it.

AI reviewers then ranked the submissions, and gave the same ordering every time, regardless of model doing the ranking: Codex GPT-5.4 > GPT-5.3-Codex > Opus 4.6 > humans.

Classic study gave 146 economist teams the same dataset & got wildly different answers
New paper reruns it with agentic AI. Claude Code & Codex land near the human median, but with far tighter dispersion & no extremes.
Suggests that AI is now useful for doing scalable research.

Lmao. This is unhinged

People are asking whether women owned slaves too?
Smh

After Britain banned the Slave Trade, Prices fell and more Fante women (in present-day Ghana) could afford to become slave-owners. (By Kwabena Adu-Boahen, 2010)

This is interesting… so African women were also involved in slavery, just like some white women were slave owners.

A man with 2 FA cup in 7 yrs but no upgrade 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fabian@PappyGrande_
That's an option too. I do hope you will accept that there is no realistic Arteta upgrade, only a move in a different direction.

Not “naturally”. Just as there is a craft to writing there is a craft to reading. A writer who wants to improve through reading must read differently. Merely reading words won’t make you a better writer.
But what truly improves writing is writing. Doing it often. Doing it deliberately, thoughtfully, consistently. Writing is a muscle. You can take steroids. You can take vitamins. But unless you exercise that muscle it will not become strong.

Does reading a lot naturally improve writing ability?

“Listen to economists who can predict the future accurately” is by far the worst take I have ever read on this app.
Yann LeCun@ylecun
Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

AI is nothing like any technology we've ever invented.
We don't know where this is heading
Garry Kasparov@Kasparov63
Indeed. The history of tech impact on labor is well-documented, including by those named. It's unpredictable, but usually improves productivity and leads to expansion. Law & white-collar workers aren't horse-buggy drivers or elevator operators. They will use AI and adapt.

I don't think economists who study it know much better tbh

Five letter word. Fraud.
Nnayelugo@Eloka51
Can’t take you seriously if you only make noise because Obidients insult you but you have never said anything about McOluomo or the Oba of Lagos or the various Characters that have threatened people with violence. I know what you are and you ain’t worth a response.

There’s a lot of them with solid balance sheets to focus on single industries and projects, they can also come together,
They’d rather put their money in places where they can get passive, relatively low risk, solid returns
This is why we must respect him, no matter what
The Economist@TheEconomist
No other tycoon in Africa has the balance-sheet to fund such wide-ranging projects. But whether it is best for the continent to have a single Ambani or Rockefeller, rather than a panoply of competing moguls, is far from clear economist.com/middle-east-an…

This is why that Wole Soyinka person irritates my soul.
People are literally being threatened for not supporting Tinubu offline. Hell, people got beaten for "looking Igbo" and voting LP during the last election but to that grey haired agbaya its Obedients that move like Nazis.
TUNA 🦁 EKUN@TundeSmilez
A thread of different times Tinubu supporters have threatened innocent Nigerians who don't believe in Tinubu. Walk with me: 👇🏽
