The replies here arguing we should publish it all are wild in the worst kind of first-order thinking way. It’s a census: it just asks questions. If you start publishing and weaponizing the data against people with various attributes, they’l

1. If you are proposing something even stricter than previous antitrust rules, great. But getting back to antitrust itself is actionable is step 1. 2. You don’t have to prevent every case before it happens so much as just stochastically go

The OP explicitly answers this: go back to pre-80s antitrust policy. Companies can be bought and sold but not if it creates concentrations of economic power that allow them to dictate prices to vendors or customers.

Yes it does. Today on X, people are having fun baiting Grok into saying that Elon Musk is the world’s best drinker of human piss. If you hired a paid PR sycophant human, even of moderate intelligence, it would know not to generalize from “s

The amount of work to be done isn’t constant. If you make it cheaper to do a unit of work (less labor per unit) then the market will demand more of it. Look up the unintentional impact of the cotton gin for an example.

These are more or less the first people to think about geometry rigorously as an abstract system. Anyone previous would have just pointed to the hypotenuse and said “it’s that length right there” and not asked a further question.

What is counter-intuitive? In a triangle with sides A=1, B=1, then C=root(2), so C/A is irrational. That's what was so impactful about the discovery. Imagine not knowing about irrational numbers. You assume all numbers are just in

Go is a constructed game with a precise definition of the rules and victory. The real challenge with AI helping experts is whether it can correctly help them balance their own value function for what "better" means. And whether we

Also very curious about this. I’ve been slowly building one myself and would happily give up if another good one already exists. Tried searching the web and can’t find it.
