I think the problem with AI asking questions is that it will ask questions that are interesting to it but not necessarily us. AI, as a model, will never be a perfect copy of a human. It will always be a simulation, and thus to some extent,

The more details this gives, the less likely it is that the story is true. Since the output is a highly detailed story, the statistical reality of this site is that's complete bullshit.

The FTC is the weak link here. The FTC and Department of Justice divvy up their prosecution of monopolies. Firms prosecuted by the FTC always get off scot free.

Yes! I have struggled with this concern for a while now. I think that humans are the ultimate arbiters of quality for humans. Nothing that is non-human can make that determination because anything that is not human (an LLM) is at best just

This is not new. None of the Arab countries have ever fully aligned with the US. They routinely host Russia and China and buy their hardware. They will continue to host the US and buy its hardware as well. A fundamental misunderstanding of

Can this model of physics predict physical events? Show me an example.

Because many people cannot or will not accept ambiguity. Charitably, I suppose this comes from a desire to logically deduce risk by multiply the severity of the consequences by the chance that something will happen. Uncharitably, it gives d

When I was a kid I noticed that if I laid on my side for a bit, the colors in one eye would be significantly red shifted. I also noticed that closing your eyes for a while on a perfectly clear day, you could notice the blue tint on everythi

That's right... CFIUS has long been monitoring and regulating foreign countries purchasing land in the United States. This article is attempting to turn the status quo into news.

The author seems to be confused about inductive and deductive reasoning. He writes, "To that end, this hypothesis represents the last idea considered, only after all other possibilities have been falsified (see Image 1)." This to

The US political scene is not that crazy historically and certainly much less crazy than a lot of other places in the world. I think a lot of us have this broad, seemingly undefinable feeling of anxiety. I think part of that feeling comes f

Was this generated by AI? It seems like a copy-paste of a math textbook into a the form of a comic (but without the substance of a comic).

Not harder, per se, just different. Much of the psychomotor coordination used to land an airplane is learned by flying the actual plane--knowing the "feel" of the jet. In your friend's defense, it sounds like the control diff

These simulators are fantastic, but I have yet to see a simulator that incorporates the interactions between pilots and air traffic control. One of the most difficult parts of being a pilot is applying decision making and problem-solving sk

The author is describing two cases of poor management. The first are self-interested managers. The second are laissez-faire (in a bad way) leaders who have all but abdicated their position. Both are bad. There is no "healthy laziness.&

I wonder with the advent of generative-AI, whether or not we'll re-enter an era of privacy when images can no longer be trusted. Perhaps I'm being too hopeful. There are some places that are extremely restrictive of public photogr
