No. I don't want a leader. Just pick up the garbage, clean the streets and keep the trains on time. I can figure out my own priorities, thanks.

Pump and dump. And with the LLMs hooked into HFT trading systems, my guess is that the the dump will occur across the board and in milliseconds.

Vandalism. Almost certainly violation of the contract. And if one Flock camera is covering another, there will be evidence. If the college is involved it could get expensive. A lot more than if some greasy hippy* is seen doing it.

*Employment opportunity for all you greasy hippies.

.. and take my money.

... went out of business too soon to profit from its technology.

Don't talk to anyone other than through your assigned (human) client. The way this was worded, it was asking for the AI to find a loophole in the rules.

On the other hand, I'd say AI has proven its worth as an attorney.

Who even needs to measure historical time that precisely? There's a principle in engineering and science called error probability. You account for it in your calculations and get over yourself about the last few CPU clock decimal places.

There is also the legal problem of measuring things too accurately. When did the Great Flood occur? Well, we have been living here "since time immemoriable" and the courts have judged our memories to trump your science.

It's the recprocal of the Street Light Effect. You don't look for where it is likely to be or where it's easiest to see (under the streetlight). You search where the rewards of sucess are likely to be the highest (citation for your research papers, Nobel prize in physics, etc.) Drunks search under the streetlight because the reward will always be the same. Found my car keys. Now I guess I'll (hic) be driving home.

The only difference between what you and I are doing and what the socialists seek is the decision making authority over asset allocation. They (socialists) presume the existence of some wise intellectuals with a perfect overview of the markets. We, on the other hand, rely on the wisdom of the crowd. Which time and time again has beaten the pundits' track records.

It's what they call a chaotic system. You have some positive and negative feedback loops. Which causes the system to oscillate around or settle on one of many possible points of stability (attractors).

Back when this paper was written, chaos theory was still in its infancy. So the author can be forgiven for using a better understood deterministic model.

Granted, a simplification of the formal definition. Some mathematicians will be here to mod me into oblivion shortly.

Actually, I've built my fortune (such as it is) off of the same economic growth. Or in a recent case, the lack of it and the concomitant shortage of RAM chips. So, lack of economic growth in this case. And then there's oil ....

Everyone can play that game. But just sitting around and crying "Capitalism bad!" isn't going to help. "Workers should own the means of production!" Just checked my stock portfolio and it turns out that I do.

This.

I was going to say Roe v Wade. But the end result is the same. Fewer generations of the unwanted (and unsupervised) offspring crapping up the planet.

I don't know why slower population growth is such a bad thing. I'm a geezer (beyond some mandatory retirement ages), still working and contributing to the GDP. I hear complaints about how we are blocking promotion paths for young people. But even more about "Where's my UBI?" That's the Ponzi scheme.

First, assume a spherical cow in a vacuum.

And for promotions as well. And if you want to see the results of that, President Nixon outed a whole bunch of CEOs and other government/industrial movers and shakers.

Nope. Sorry. I don't want to be a part of that circle jerk.

... the female AIs are more likely to quit in mid project to spawn a child process.
