They have name for “Less work for same pay” : inflation.

Seems like today's more-work-less-pay model also leads to inflation, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

The thing being hinted at is there is an already an English term to describe the notion of the value of a unit of something decreasing over time, which is “inflation”. Not causation, just definition.

This is confused. Less work for same pay means each unit of work is more valuable, in other words deflation.

That's less productivity for same pay. We can have less work without impacting productivity much.

The world is decentralized. People and produce can cross borders. People don’t vote for sending ubi to outside borders.

Historically most devices were serving antivirus and snooping. Ai is the first time they are being used for actual computing again. They will be kept saturated.

Unless you mean remixing the alphabet / tokens, this is mathematically false. 2^256 gets you to unique very fast, and that’s like 252 bytes or like 80 tokens. Remember almost all numbers are irrational. Complexity is infinite.

For 3 values, don’t you just need a pair of booleans ? Known or unknown… If known: 0 or 1 …

unknown | yes | no has the same cardinality (3) of unknown | boolean as you can replace boolean with yes | no.

If you write code that has to handle it, you still need to consider 3 cases, you can never reduce it to two cases only.


its more like you have purchased unlimited monthly travel for a fixed cost for your employees for $20. And you want your employees to maximize travel, since you already paid the $20.


Someone would have connected gpt to bash. As it turns out that someone ended up at Anthropic.


Labor displacement is also called rising productivity.


No it doesn’t - it means cost efficiency. Incremental productivity can remain flat - unless you’re a bozo who counts LOC.


I thought even intel was using tsmc fabs for their own chips. Usa just needs to annex Taiwan and South Korea or create a new Taiwan / new sk in Arizona and bring half the Taiwan population here. Kind of like Israel and Cuba.


Maybe 1/10 of the new hires replace 1/90 of the existing old timers. You need some creative destruction.
