By "capitalist," I'm referring to investors whose primary contribution is capital, not making a political statement about capitalism itself. Capital is crucial when tools and infrastructure are expensive. Consider publishing:

The typical AI economic discussion always focuses on job loss, but that's only half the story. We won't just have corporations firing everyone while AI does all the work - who would buy their products then? The disruption goes bot

AI is an existential threat to tech companies not software engineers. In many domains, the scope and complexity of software systems goes beyond the ability of a single software engineer to manage. A coordination layer becomes necessary when

If AI increases the productivity of a single engineer between 10-100x over the next decade, there will be a seismic shift in the industry and the tech giants will not walk away unscathed. There are coordination costs to organising large amo

The government is getting rid of tax exemptions for non-domiciled individuals who up to this point did not need to pay tax on foreign source income that was not brought into the UK. The economy overall is in a dire state, Labour are project

In the UK, the loss of subsidised childcare and tax free allowances creates an effective marginal tax rate of over 100% for a parent earning £100,000-£125,000.

This isn't quite fair. The problem is that JavaScript expertise is still volatile. It is a use it or lose it skill. It quickly becomes alien unless you stay on the threadmill and keep up with the developments, patterns and tooling. I a

This is exactly right. The lakehouse is a custom data warehouse you can build out of these cloud primitives to suit the specific data needs of an organisation. Think of it as a database scaled up by several orders of magnitude. Everything f

One of the most powerful ways to integrate LLMs with existing systems is constrained generation. Libraries such as outlines[1] and instructor[2] allow structural specification of the expected outputs as regex patterns, simple types, jsonsch

There are well described links between intelligence and information theory. Intelligence is connected to prediction and compression as measures of understanding. Intelligence has nothing specific to do with The Universe as we known it. Any

We have an algorithm and computational hardware that will tune a universal function approximator to fit any dataset with emergent intelligence as it discovers abstractions, patterns, features and hierarchies. So far, we have not yet found h

A strategic play is to release the models - the nuclear option. Go full OpenAI. Even if Microsoft has an exclusive license, leaks and breaches happen. The board should have led with this as an implied threat behind closed doors and given bo

Absolutely agree with this. Real skin in the game would require CEOs and executives to face ruin in the event of failure. Pilots have skin in the game. There is rarely any doubt that their priority is landing that plane safely. Now imagine

Are you saying that the threat of civil legal action is an effective deterrent against anonymous actors that conspire to overthrow governments?

I do not believe the line is so clear cut for a recognisable face. Brands seek out these celebrities and pay a premium for the aura. The endorsement is implicit. Consider that the relationship works both ways, the celebrity's own brand

Any celebrity should familiarise themselves with the companies and products they endorse. If all they can manage is to do so at a superficial level, they should seriously consider declining. It is just amazing that society rewards such a l

There's an undeniable existential crisis brewing within the tech industry. It's concerning to see how the pursuit of monetary gain seems to have eclipsed other, arguably more essential, objectives. Life's raison d'etre,

US investors are not doing this out of generosity. European elites built up their wealth with land holdings and real estate over centuries. In most cases, the value of these assets are unknown. There is little benefit to be gained from disp
