Wanted to point to the startup the author seems to be running, which is to sell insurance somehow tied to Bitcoin: https://meanwhile.bm/
For the record, that strikes me as seriously improper. Life insurance is a heavily regulated offering intended to provide security to families. It is the opposite of bitcoin, which is a highly speculative investment asset. Those two things should not be mixed.
Also, the fact that the disclosure seems to limit sales to being only occurring in Bermuda seems intentional. I suspect that this product would be highly illegal in most if not all US states, so they must offer this only for sale in Bermuda to avoid that issue.

This. And by any job I mean any job. McDonalds, book store, what have you. A good friend of mine dropped out of Harvard sophomore year. She found work at the COOP, then CVS, etc. It was definitely better than going back to an unstable and abusive environment while continuing to job hunt.
In THEORY yes, but in practice, there are not a ton of journals I think that will actually publish well done research that does not come to some interesting conclusion and find some p<.05. So....
Another reason that they should never have been allowed to ingest all the books in the first place. Without paying for the rights to use the digital form of the book, a use which is explicitly prohibited by the publisher, they digitized the books anyway. If they used it to train an LLM, and the LLM regurgitates near facsimiles of all the copyrighted works without compensation to the original rights holders, that seems like something that should be illegal.
All the arguments for where to place control over who decides what gets built IMHO are just political power grabs from one constituency or another. Different companies do it differently, and I'm not sure there is one best way. Any time engineering or product or sales or marketing want more power they come up with some reasons why their function should have more control in every company everywhere.
I don't think arguments that any function should always drive can be true, because who is best qualified to make those decisions is based on things like judgement, experience, domain knowledge, and customer understanding.
Instead of saying a specific function should have control, I think empowering the people who have been best a making decisions about scope should do it is the best approach. That can be engineering but that also can be product etc.
The approach is fundamentally flawed. You can’t query an LLM as to whether it has a theory of mind. You need to analyze how its internal logic works.
Imagine the opposite result had occurred, and the LLM had outputted something which was considered a theory of mind… Does that prove it has one, or that it was trained on some data that had something it used which made it sound like it has a theory of mind?
My fridge stopped working last year. We called a repair technician, who swapped out the whole PCB and charged us a few hundred dollars. In retrospect, I think it was one bad relay on the board...
Next time it dies I plan to try to find the defective relay, desolder and resolder it myself. Imagine how much better it would be if there was a read out with an error code on a fridge with easily removable relays you could unplug and replace. I know it is not a priority to make these kinds of things repairable, but I wish it was.
I think I must be looking at this wrong, how are "Photographic plates and film, exposed and developed, other than motion-picture film" the most complex product? Surely CPUs are harder to make than that? Maybe it is old categories and there is where new things like CPUs are found?
