Say "in the AI era" one more time.

You joke but a16z is already in talks to invest in this exciting AI opportunity

TL;DR nothing surprising, it's just syntactical sugar.

I like a scathing critique of overly-hyped chatbots as much as the next guy, but leading with the pseudoscience of IQ scores has the persuasive impact of a farting noise.

A list of unverifiable claims, stated authoritatively. The lady doth protest too much.

The post is about his opinions.

reads more like propaganda.

Noclip's creator Jasper has some great deep-dive video essays on game deconstructions over on their yt channel, as well: https://www.youtube.com/@JasperRLZ

Where's the kill switch to remove AI from development?

Heads up: forbes.com/sites/xyz are ppl and groups who pay for the domain, but aren't edited or promoted by forbes itself. Almost always conservative interest groups posing as journalists.

Nietzel's whole shtick is "college reform" i.e. dismantling and financialization. See his book "Coming to Grips with Higher Education." Mixing non-agitprop into the feed is part of agitprop.

Maybe not this in particular. But the general idea is that this is reputation laundering. Yournot reading something up to forbes' (percieved historical) standards. Your reading something some rando paid to get on forbes

Slop Generator

Or better, just store keys and values in separate arrays, so you can have compact cache lines of just keys when probing.

Summary: they're pulling "starter homes" off the market, predominantly in nonwhite neighborhoods, and skimping more on maintenance/landscaping.

When a landlord “Skimps” systematically on their obligations as a landlord, we call it a slumlord.

This is addressed in the article that you didn't read, but commented on anyway.

No, it's not. The article is nothing but a complete lie and a ragebait against scapegoats. This is similar to how conservatives are raging against trans people.

Starting from this:

> The United States is short 4 million housing units

It's a lie. The US has more than one housing unit (1.1) per family.

We don't have a housing problem. We really really don't.

We have an urbanism problem, that made the dense hellscapes the only viable housing location.

Externalize the costs, to build your profit!

Agreed. When I moved to the US from Australia 19 years ago, the road condition here blew my mind. The potholes, tree roots, all of that? There'd be protests at City Councils for a fraction of that in Australia. Here, just "the way it is".

>and skimping more on maintenance/landscaping

I.e the kind of stuff everyone wants to do but can't justify flying so close to the sun on because they don't have a legal army say "we are in compliance and here's why" on their behalf when the municipal government comes looking for fine money or the slip and fall lawyer tries to make something their fault.

In "reasonable" (note for the bottom feeders, I did not say "free", I said "reasonable") markets the big guy has to do things to higher standards because his big pot of money will attract vultures looking for a quick buck if he does even slightly wrong.

It's usually the opposite. In a lot of rental markets the small time landlords do even less than the minimum in terms of maintenance and upkeep, whereas the big corporate landlords at least have some basic level of organizational competence. Most local governments don't have the resources to do much enforcement so only the most serious violations are ever punished.

Eh, toss a coin. I've seen it cut both ways. Corporate can be "is sending someone to fix it" for months just like a slumlord.

I remember there was once a guy who just went around fixing potholes with no official authorization or anything (he did it properly), and I think he got arrested but then released with a warning.
