I think deliberate practice is what's really core to improving any skill, including memory.

Spaced repetition is an effective way to review things but its biggest benefit is a process that's easy to be consistent with.

Somebody else can have equal or better performance with other technique but just like dieting, it doesnt matter as much what method you use as long as you stick with it.

Sounds dumb, but then also if something unexpectedly had a list of 20 ingredients you might reconsider buying it

if you feed it back any of the claims, it defends them pretty well

it doesn't deny any of the stats and cites none of it is secret as it's all published on the public dashboard

at the same time, churn is expected for such a company, doesn't mean it's not a real business, especially as AI gets better and margins improve... I think their business model is real

probably worth 30MM too since market is untapped, cost of user acquisition is much less than average profit per user and if one of the businesses actually takes off, they have 100% vendor lock-in and take 20% off the top

It certainly doesn't seem like consciousness exists. Although to disprove that hypothesis all we need is to find a single counter-example, which coincidentally all of us can provide via our personal experience of self.

It would be fine for an unconsciouss intelligence to maintain that hypothesis lacking any evidence to the contrary, but for us it seems we are just all gaslighting ourselves to ignore the one counter example we all have.

It's a bad example, because both sides actually got the entertainment they paid for and is totally valid economic activity.

>I'm arguing it's not "success". I don't believe that a meme stock is a truly long-term business.

Duh. Crypto is the peak meme investment. Literally worthless, yet the market size is in trillions now, with even pension funds buying into it.

It doesn't follow any fundamentals, but as the meme markets defacto exist, there needs to be some models of valuing these investments other than fundamentals.

>It seems like the incentives are to think short term and do sketchy shit to pump the stock.

Its a meme stock, that's what stockholders actually want.

Depends on what they're trying to incentivise.

It's quite possible they aren't trying to measure performance but are literally just trying to increase token consumption to feed the bubble and hype.

Plus pressure employees may find new unique use cases for AI.

It's like if your goal is inflation, you give out tons of money and as long as its spent, you achieve your goal.

Doesn't matter as long as incentives are aligned. As a major stockholder and active advocate, he is already vested in success.

Based on how same models rank fluctuates week to week, all I can conclude is that no frontier models is statistically better than the other or it's too task dependent that the result cannot converge.

I think kids and their free labor were the biggest wealth generating asset for the poor and as such wouldn't be given away except in the most extreme circumstances.

>legislation dampens this behavior

Potentially. Well meaning and thought out legislation still distorts the markets, possibly making things objectively worse.

>Capitalists claim that this is optimal.

It's more optimal than planned economies until we have AI planned economies with realtime feedback, I guess.

Consumers get cheap goods during oversupply and most inefficient companies get elliminated during bust while consolidation leads to economies of scale.

That's very interesting, thank you!
