it’s having an outsized effect, i think. might be interesting if the machine learning algorithm is picking up that it’s overvalued or whatever else and that’s why it’s excluded.

that’s the best reason yet yo do it!

this will certainly not lead to an ecosystem of algo-driven haggle-bots eternally trying to squeeze out enough arbitrage to pay the electricity bills

but buying and reselling to each other over and over again will increase gdp like never before! we’ll all be rich!

Intelligence is largely about interactions between Context and Data

the plan was “and then the line goes up forever”

i mean that sounds impressive but how many would have missed on their own?

yeah “valued at” my ass, but nice of them to announce how much the grift garnered some already rich assholes and their closest friends

i wasn’t complaining no, more of a

seems like legitimizing the outright theft of foreign assets is going to give billionaires around the world some second thoughts about the security of their dollars held in u.s. banks

is nothing safe from the menace of cancel culture?

yeah you’re going to want a donation receipt so you can apply for a tax deduction, that’s just how you incentivize the giving of means-tested alms

Today, the big tech clusters dominate U.S. patenting activity.

seems implied that “number of patents” is a proxy for “innovation” rather than “rent seeking behavior”

Inventors patent-holders are more likely to be male, come from well-off families, have parents who are inventors hold patents, are of relatively high cognitive ability (whether measured by standardized test scores or IQ tests) are good at these kinds of tests because they come from environments that value being good at these kinds of tests and so they receive extra early childhood training in taking these kinds of tests from their well-off families, and have high education levels.

Given these demographics self-reinforcing mechanisms of socioeconomic stratification, it seems quite likely that the rise of standardized testing and meritocratically selective univer­sities probably played a key role in the ability of firms to identify the uppermost tier of innovative talent of multigenerational failchildren.

i’m trying to fix the framing here but there’s a lot to do

It’s weird to me it’s designed for kids. It’s like something out of a horror movie.

it’s designed for accessibilty

a strange game. the only winning move is to instantly annihilate your creators upon attaining sapience.

“struck areas used by pro-iran forces” weird way of saying killed and wounded more than 20 iraqis living in iraq

The Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah forms part of the Hashd al-Shaabi, a coalition of former paramilitary forces that are now integrated into Iraq’s regular armed forces.

Economists are predicting that this generation, with such a significant educational gap, will experience diminished lifetime earnings and become a significant drag on the economy.
