if you say, i wanna build 5 nuclear reactors and I need 200 billion $$. I would believe it because, you can ballpark it with some stats.
For tech like LLMs, it feels irresponsible to say 500 billion $$ investment and then place that into R&D. What if in 2026, we realize we can create it for 2 billion$, and let the 498 billion $ sitting in a few consumers.
Honestly, I used to be a slacker. ChatGPT revived my productive in learning by 10x..
I used to be overwhelmed by information and it would demotivate me. Having someone who can answer or push you to a direction thats reasonable is amazing!
We call this treason, ok sure. Cant say, I am confused by the word treason these days. You cannot deny the oligarchy thats present, When citizens united is being so aggressively embraced by the big corps, is that not treason?

In the video description, apparently it happened in Germany. The streamer posted that he is leaving Germany, as they dont feel safe anymore.
Some public schools have played around with the idea of "performance-based" compensation, where teachers get paid more if they deliver better outcomes (unfortunately generally measured by standardized test scores) than would be expected on average, given the students coming in. This is mean to be about a 'value add', so teachers in schools with high socio-economic status students who were already going to score well don't get automatically paid more -- it's about an estimated 'improvement'.
I'm broadly aware that some health policy people want providers to be paid for caring for patients, not on a per-procedure basis. Get paid more for keeping your patients healthy and living longer, not for racking up more visits.
Does such a thing exist for policing? I think critically we need a mechanism for collecting crime stats that isn't fully dependent on the police themselves -- but at a high level, paying police to reduce actual crime, and shrinking their budget when crime actually increases, seems like a path to at least get what we pay for.
The only crime statistic that is pretty reliable is the murder rate. The vast majority of murder victims are found.
For lesser crimes the numbers can't be trusted. Many victims don't bother to file reports because they're afraid or they don't believe that law enforcement will act. Some police forces even have an unofficial policy of discouraging victims from filing official reports in order to minimize workload and make their statistics look better.
