–“Most labs are producing synthetic data. We produce synthetic structure.”–
@LukeWeinhagen
We aren’t adding data we’re adding structure within which to organize data. we call it universal commensurability but the tech sector isn’t exactly the top of the epistemic pyramid….

–“We show that global progress in learning—a priority Sustainable Development Goal—has been limited, despite increasing enrolment in primary and secondary education. … average estimates mask considerable heterogeneity associated with income grouping across countries and regions. This heterogeneity highlights the importance of including countries at various stages of economic development when analysing the role of human capital in economic development.”–
IOW: you have to build the whole society from the baseline of the degree of neotenic evolution (roughly average IQ) through to the institutions and the economy.
This is another way of saying your economic social and political condition is more dependent upon your fellow citizens (and their genetics and religion) than on you yourself.

WHY THE U.S. CANNOT BE SCANDINAVIA
–“… it would require that the American middle classes accept a MASSIVE downward mobility hit, which is completely out of the question given the anomic (norm-less) and polarized state of American society and politics.”–
@obsessivehermit
Europeans are almost universally poorer in terms of disposable income than the americans. You can however leave europe and come to american and generate wealth.
Which is what happens. Most european VC’s will simply as how long before you can move to the States.
The USA was built for the middle and upper classes by rejecting the aristocratic and clerical classes as parasites. Europe, because of their heritage under the aristocracy and the church is built largely for the working classes at the expense of the middle and upper middle (and lower-upper) classes.
There is value in both systems, especially if we migrate to those countries that suit our class interests. Europe is doing this under the EU, hence the collapse of industry and increase in debt in France, and the expansion of industry in poland, and the exit of educated talent from poland to germany etc.
The USA has a similar process but it is from one state’s growth-city until it’s near bankruptcy to another state’s growth city repeating the process eternally. California was a flight destination, and now people are leaving california for texas as a flight destination. Of course these people will destroy texas as they have california until collapse (bankruptcy) causes them to reform. Even then people change only with gravestones so it takes a generation or three. Connecticut is dead for all intents and purposes because it’s the state that most copied the soviets. As such state employees have all the benefits and everyone who can escape the nihilism does. Massachusetts lost the tech sector to california but because it has the top universities, it had finance and medicine and other specializations to build upon, while drawing talent from around the world and the country.

WHY RUNCIBLE IS AHEAD OF THE AI CURVE
–“Prediction (speculative): The next discontinuity [in AI] will not come from “more parameters” per se; it will come from architectures that treat the base model as a proposal engine inside a verified workflow—where most value is created by (i) typed intermediate representations, (ii) external checkers, (iii) provenance ledgers, and (iv) explicit abstention/deferral policies. Proof/verification work is an early, clean instance of that shift.
That direction is consistent with our program: you are formalizing the governance/closure layer; others are discovering it by necessity in narrower domains.”–

Almost everything negative I read and hear about AI is nonsense.
