On top of token tracking, they're also scoring employees on how much they teach Ai to their colleagues. As bad as the token dashboard sounds, employees being forced to try to mine each other for credit sounds worse.

There are many hyper-credentialized, gatekept systems but most of them don't share the feature of producing structurally worse outcomes as literary fiction. I believe this system is already selling the seeds of its own demise. A small

A game-theoretic model of why AI automation might be a trap: each firm's rational choice to automate erodes the aggregate demand all firms depend on. The Nash equilibrium is slow-motion collapse.

When Saks Fifth Avenue put out feelers to sell off pieces of BergdorfGoodman, I took it as a very bad sign. Bergdorf is the crown jewel in that portfolio. Anytime you see a corporation pawning off its winners to fund its losers, they'r

I'm working on an app to make testing available to all brick and mortar retailers (proofpod.ai). The most difficult technical challenge has been designing a pipeline to fully automate choosing test & control locations using synthet
