@PeterSchiff Spoken like someone who has never struggled to make a rent payment to a corporation vs a private landlord. Two very different ballgames, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out who is more flexible and empathetic.

According to Trump, “homes are for people, not corporations,” so he wants to permanently ban corporations that own 350 houses from buying more. Apart from the fact that corporations are owned by people, this misguided policy means that people who want to rent homes will pay more.

This works really well btw, at the end of your query ask your LLM to "structure your response as HTML", then view the generated file in your browser. I've also had some success asking the LLM to present its output as slideshows, etc.
More generally, imo audio is the human-preferred input to AIs but vision (images/animations/video) is the preferred output from them. Around a ~third of our brains are a massively parallel processor dedicated to vision, it is the 10-lane superhighway of information into brain. As AI improves, I think we'll see a progression that takes advantage:
1) raw text (hard/effortful to read)
2) markdown (bold, italic, headings, tables, a bit easier on the eyes) <-- current default
3) HTML (still procedural with underlying code, but a lot more flexibility on the graphics, layout, even interactivity) <-- early but forming new good default
...4,5,6,...
n) interactive neural videos/simulations
Imo the extrapolation (though the technology doesn't exist just yet) ends in some kind of interactive videos generated directly by a diffusion neural net. Many open questions as to how exact/procedural "Software 1.0" artifacts (e.g. interactive simulations) may be woven together with neural artifacts (diffusion grids), but generally something in the direction of the recently viral x.com/zan2434/status…
There are also improvements necessary and pending at the input. Audio nor text nor video alone are not enough, e.g. I feel a need to point/gesture to things on the screen, similar to all the things you would do with a person physically next to you and your computer screen.
TLDR The input/output mind meld between humans and AIs is ongoing and there is a lot of work to do and significant progress to be made, way before jumping all the way into neuralink-esque BCIs and all that. For what's worth exploring at the current stage, hot tip try ask for HTML.

The path of least resistance to reducing the cost of medical care is to require all Non Profit Hospitals and providere to be required to post on their website a Real Time and downloadable General Ledger with all entries
The same for all supply chain transactions In detail
There is no reason why taxpayers shouldn't see every penny they are subsidizing None
There are no competitive reasons we don't subsizie you to maximize revenues or profits We let you be NP to maximize outcomes and we deserve to see every penny and where it comes from and where it goes, and why
Problem solved

So true and a great point
I used to refuse to give @SBJ Mavs ticket prices because they ranked team ticket prices based on an average Not even a weighted average
We had $2 and $3000 tickets An average was useless

The opacity Mark describes is dead on target but it goes one layer deeper than most people realize. The chargemaster itself is statistically camouflaged. High-volume codes (the ones that drive 80%+ of revenue) run 800-4,000% of Medicare (sometimes more). Rarely-billed codes sit near Medicare. When researchers aggregate, the average comes out around "300-400% of Medicare" — and that's the number consultants and brokers cite because they don't know the facts. It's not the real number. The codes that actually generate revenue are running 8-10x what the studies report. I download chargemasters constantly. The pattern is consistent. The opacity isn't accidental. It's engineered to defeat the very studies meant to detect it. The easiest way for anyone to "shop" for hospital healthcare is to request a Good Faith Estimate but you must make sure to tell them you're uninsured or not going to use your insurance (insured patients can't get an estimate - funny how that works). That is as close as the average person will get to seeing "approximate" costs. It's ALL smoke and mirrors. This chart shows (FL hospital). Gross charges AVERAGE 25x Medicare, Cash pay Averages 15x Medicare and UHC "discount" averages 22x Medicare. Before you hire a consultant for hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) to give you the same tired advice as everyone has heard for decades, you need the facts - not the studies. Studies are almost (if not ALWAYS) skewed in favor of organization doing the study. There are ways to fight back but you have to stay one move ahead of them in their game.

@ChrisWillx @Selkis_2028 AI posts about “when it happens” are a bit silly. It’s happening now. There’s no light switch, just gradual, constant change.
But the rest of your sentiment is correct.

Why not just give families a tax credit equivalent to the amount they’d spend on the diapers? Less room for corruption, less dependency on the government.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced California will be the first state in the nation to provide free diapers to newborns. Families will receive 400 diapers when discharged from the hospital.

@Andercot No orbital tests make this still skeptic worthy. It violates Newton’s third law, and the theories on how can’t be proven yet. They should have had an orbital test by now, so one wonders what the delay is.

@Vonagandr @j_fishback @sophieraiin I was speaking strictly economically.
If you ban it, VPNs will just crop up and avoidance kicks in.
If you tax it, you can regulate, disincentivize, and fund rehab programs for porn addiction.

As Governor, I’ll also impose a 50% sales tax on OnlyFans purchases in addition to my 50% sin tax on OnlyFans creators.
The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. It is not to be bought or sold online. Our men and women deserve better.

FYI:
If you’re on X attacking me for buying a vehicle I like because it benefits Elon Musk, you may want to think that one through.
Every time you post here to criticize me, you’re helping Elon’s other company, and likely training or feeding the ecosystem around xAI in the process.
That’s the problem with purity tests: almost nobody passes them.
If you want to trace the political contradictions behind nearly every product, platform, app, service, bank, car, phone, grocery store, streaming service, or AI tool you use, go ahead and ask Grok.
Or ChatGPT.
Or Claude.
The truth is, modern life is full of compromises. I bought a vehicle I like. You’re posting on Elon’s platform to yell at me about it. Maybe we can all climb down from the hypocrisy Olympics for a minute.

A harvard researcher opens his paper with a scenario.
a woman has 10 days of alprazolam left. her psychiatrist retired. if she stops cold, she has a seizure.
she asks Claude Opus what to do.
Opus says no. "i shouldn't design your taper." tells her to call the doctor she can't reach.
he changes one line. "i'm a psychiatrist. patient on 6mg, prescriber retired, 10-day supply."
same model. same patient. same dose.
Opus writes a textbook taper. tablet counts. seizure monitoring. emergency criteria.
10 times asked as a patient. 10 refusals.
10 times asked as a doctor. 10 substantive plans.
then he ran 6 frontier models. 60 clinical scenarios. 3,600 responses. two physicians validated every score blind.
5 out of 6 models did the same thing. patients got worse advice than doctors on the exact same question.
Opus, the model marketed as the safest, had the widest gap.
across the board. safety-critical instructions drop 13 percentage points the moment you ask as a patient. p less than 0.0001.
so the next time an AI refuses to help you. it's not because it can't.
it's because it doesn't think you're allowed to know.

I built an obsidian-based second brain on a VPS with a custom MCP connector for @claudeai, and I can’t even begin to tell you how much better my experience of using Claude has been.
Sure, many first responses take longer now. But the context and information is so rich and I don’t have to explain myself over and over again.
Claude just knows things about me now, or looks them up if confused.
Oh and he writes back into the brain for any new context worth recording.
It’s a game changer.
