Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

A mathematical ceiling limits generative AI to amateur-level creativity
A mathematical ceiling limits generative AI to amateur-level creativity
A new study argues that the algorithms driving tools like ChatGPT impose a hard limit on originality. By prioritizing probable answers, these models are structurally confined to producing amateur-level work rather than expert innovation.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

i just reviewed 50+ applications for an arts award and most of them were written by chatgpt. And then the other reviewers said they put them into Gemini to rank them. At a certain point, if everyone is giving their thinking entirely over to AI, why are we even bothering with any of this anymore?

And yet, one of the architects of this is leading the polls.
From the great new NBER paper by Bloom et al on the cost of Brexit.
It ain't pretty - they estimate UK GDP is down between 6-8%. Consistent with the doppelgang model of @johnspringford.bsky.social for CER.
A lot of 'free' GDP available availabe for Labour if it had the courage to reset properly.

No se ha publicado aún la sentencia. Pero es una sentencia no unánime -ya empiezan a no ser unánimes-. Habrá que leerla para evaluar el posible fin de la seguridad jurídica y la posible politización del TS, que, sin pruebas, afecta a un Gobierno electo, en modo Brasil. En EEUU aún no ocurre eso.
