The date in the title should be 2005, not 2013.

At the end of the article it reads:

It’s also evidenced by the reference to the “new iMac G5.”

Raskin also died a month later at 26. Februar 2005 (cancer).

When the humans have a track record of corruption, it might make sense for a company to seek parallel opinions from a LLM so they can at least flag suspicious human decisions.

Assuming BNP Paribas leadership wants to stop the corruption of course.

They had years to fix it: https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/bnp-pariba...

I remember seeing expensive multi-page ads for Claude in the New Yorker over a year ago.

Their marketing has been working the high end of the “regular people” market for a good while.

Tesla Model S is discontinued.

Whatever its merits, there wasn’t a market for it.

Which suggests that a similar but worse product shouldn't sell either?

The brand name counts for a lot in this market.

Lamborghini Urus sells well even though it’s inferior on every metric to cars a fraction of its price.

Tesla lost its premium brand cachet and consequently the Model S/X market.

Ferrari presumably has some data that there are buyers for a $500k scifi sports car with their logo on it.

Just pointing out that, technically, if you're gonna drive slow, the Ferrari is the appropriate choice over the Tesla.

The content is good, but this LLM writing style gets tiresome. Everything is a revelation:

>“I bought it for Chrome. It's running a model that didn't exist when I bought it.”

Well duh, personal computers run new software. That’s literally the whole point. The Apple II didn’t sell on the strength of the preinstalled apps.

Author here. I totally hear you. I wasn't expecting this to do well on HN for exactly this reason.

But I've mentioned elsewhere - if it wasn't for all the AI-assistance, I would've put-off documenting everything that I did and not even get to the writing part.

But yeah, I'll be working on the workflow to make the next write-up better, more humanized.

If you’re suffering from obesity, is it helpful to imagine an alien somehow beaming calories into your stomach?

Downvoted for clickbait (posting a link instead of explaining the argument).

The 1713 Treaty of Utrecht granted the South Sea Company a monopoly for British trading with the Spanish South America and Pacific.

Exciting! Everybody knew there's enormous wealth in those lands. Spaniards had brought over tons of gold and silver to Europe. The famous El Dorado remained undiscovered.

So it wasn't difficult for the directors and insiders of the South Sea Company to capture the British public's imagination. Even Sir Isaac Newton invested the equivalent of millions of pounds today in the venture.

Turns out the actual monopoly was extremely limited because the Spaniards didn't want to trade with Britain. The bubble burst by 1720 and ruined thousands of people, from aristocrats to small bourgeois tradesmen.

Anyway, surely that has nothing to do with the multitrillions of wealth that await on the Moon and Mars.

Elementary school children would make ashtrays as gifts for Father's Day.

If dad didn't smoke, surely he had guests who did.

Yeah. I remember that too. It was such an odd thing to make at schools and kids clubs. But that’s through the lens of modern life.

Calling him a writer is somewhat underselling his talent. Jodorowsky was a world-class clown and mime (yes, really) before becoming an award-winning filmmaker, visual artist, and comic book writer.
