The board members will be lobbied, wined and dined by billion or even trillion dollar companies. If politicians can be bought then so can non-profits. Having said that, there may well be a room for a niche recaptcha-like service run by a no

It will certainly make some bot farms unprofitable: Remember that they are now paying for a screen, a battery, a 5G radio, software licenses, branding, distribution and customer support for which they have no use. Also consider this: While

If proof of work is the "payment" to prove that you're human, many AI startups will outbid poor people living third world countries. They will even outbid some Americans. Yes, those AI startups can also buy cheap Android phon

The De Beers cartel was able to avoid anti trust scrutiny because the best reserves are outside (Africa/Canada/Russia) of the most lucrative markets (US/Europe/Asia). Corporations control only a small faction of housing

Here's crazy idea: Instead of the US spending all this money on restraining the Iranian government through military build ups and sanctions, rather drop hundreds of thousands of Starlink kits by drones. Firstly the protesters will be a

Your comment mentioned "studies" plural. There are many studies of twins that try to determine if genes influence intelligence. Some look at twins who are raised together. One [1] concludes that "MZ (identical) twins differ o

The article only asks the question of scientists have data to conclude that IQ is inherited. The author is only saying that there are so many problems with the little data we have, that he cannot rule out correlation without causation

Here's a fairly fast algorithm: Look for a number that appears in both { j⁵+k⁵+l⁵ } and { i⁵-n⁵ } where 0 < j <= k <= l and 0 < n < i If we only consider l and i under 250, then the sets would contain less than 3 million
