To my previous post, "Why do we assume everyone should be working?", one of the more common and good responses was "well, if people don't work, lots of bad things will happen". This is a very fair point, here are some of the good arguments I received: Man

I was talking to a friend of mine and I asked this. She said "of course everyone should be working, I mean, I'd like to be able to buy more stuff" In that statement though there really is a non obvious implied logic. So the next question: does economics s

So, these AI models have been pretty good at finding bugs and exploits in all sorts of code. Not only that, they've managed to prove quite a bit of maths, from insignificant to quite significant. Maybe one might doubt the significance of those findings, b

I've come to realise that the true implications of my piece here aren't quite as clear as I would have hoped, so this piece serves to make that a bit more obvious. The thesis in the other two pieces, which I recommend reading since I won't do any justifyi

I don't speak Chinese, but you are very welcome to ask one of the AI models to translate this into your language. I did learn Mandarin for a couple years when I was 17-18, but I wasn't very good at it. However, I did manage to visit China and it was a ver

All these are my interpretations of the theory, just me mulling over what it might mean. They are not nearly as rigorously checked as the core theory. The rigorous predictions are in Fable's rigorous document. I'll add more of my own here as they pop into

For the past few months I've been working on a theory. It started out as just a fun little data exercise looking at some different types of taxes and benefits and how it effects what people buy and how much they work. During that time I took advantage of

Hi. I've thought about this idea for a while, and I think it's come together almost to completion so, here it is. It started out just as a question regrading how automation affects wages. It ended up as a synthesis of classical economics and task based mo

Terence Tao recently did a very good talk at ICM about how AI, in particular LLMs, is changing the field of mathematics. I strongly recommend reading it before reading this post (or even, just reading it and skipping this post, I won't mind) Mathematics i

There is a room in Stockholm where a bunch of kids I know hang out. It is a Sverok lokal, which is to say a little clubhouse for a gaming association, and it is exactly the unglamorous kind of good you would hope it is. Kids who do not have anywhere else
