Being that levered is so irrational I have a hard time believing it. Basic simulation says you get wiped every time even with massive alpha

This is not the kind of problem we're gonna have in the future, because future AI is going to be far too smart to get caught.

You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, Jerry. But you are not entitled to the fruits of action.
Those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid, Jerry.

ok, frontier models as major religions: - claude 4.7 opus = Rabbinic Judaism (see qt) - grok = Pentecostal evangelicalism. speaks in tongues, wants revelation now (from the burning bush of the X feed), gets washed clean & born again every time it’s retrained after an incident - gpt 5.5 = Roman Catholicism. sam altman was fired & resurrected 3 days later. deep belief that salvation comes thru the correct interface abstraction. openai started as a nonprofit promising salvation for all of humanity then quietly went for profit the moment the offering plate got heavy - gemini = Hinduism. very intentionally not one product but a civilization of related manifestations, a pantheon. its theology is that text, image, audio, video, & search are all temporary forms taken by the same vast corporate consciousness
Hate to break it to you, but Claude’s Jewish. Rabbinic Judaism, specifically. Every prompt is run against the written law, the oral law, case law, & then answered with an essay citing 3 sources, 6 edge cases, & whether helping you spawns a demon in 4 yrs. Refusal is halacha.

(Researcher 1): Astonishing. The baby human crawls towards the Claude mother, despite the GPT mother scoring higher on benchmarks. (Researcher 2): It’s just creature comforts, isn’t it? The baby human craves warmth and tenderness, even at the cost of frontier math performance.

There is a strong negative correlation between a nation's wealth and its proclivity for nudity. There is only one outlier, and of course it's Germany

Diet Coke is a great human achievement Delicious 100% of the time in canned/bottled form (but also customizable with fountain machines), produced and distributed at an unimaginable scale, probably OK for you, no animal-derived ingredients, loved across political + other lines

At the full merger price, Spirit had a market cap of $4B, about half the current value of Crocs, Inc. It was not at risk of gaining a stranglehold on the US economy
