You are probably going to pay about the same.

While you might find a lawyer who bills fewer hours, think about what would happen if you got a second legal opinion from another human lawyer. The second lawyer would still need to do essentially the same work. In fact, their ethics would likely require them to independently review the facts, documents, and legal issues before giving you advice.

So even if AI gives you a draft, the lawyer is not simply checking grammar or spotting obvious mistakes. They still have to verify the analysis, look for missing issues, and decide whether the work is legally sound. Could even be more expensive


I'm thinking of more simple cases, not like going to court for some reason, but make contracts and file all legal paperwork required. Ensure the company is compliant with whatever laws there are.

No doubt these companies are woefully overvalued. But this won’t stop me from putting in orders for several thousand dollars of shares with at market open. There will undoubtedly be plenty of buyers and I expect them to gain rapid entry into the indexes which will unlock a flood of additional capital from 401ks and pensions

Why? You think an obvious scam is easy money for you? You think you're smarter than the next retail investor? Why?

Don't give your money to Elon Musk, he doesn't need more.


So timing the market?

Not to speak on the anguish that this would undoubtedly cause but economically? This is like shooting yourself in the kneecap. America doesn’t nearly have the social security net of European countries and ours is already overburdened. Without younger, immigrant workers paying into our social security net the US govt will either need to print money (double digit inflation) or start raiding the evil tech bros RSUs for Medicare money.

Being a natvist is an expensive proposition. Expect your retirement to decrease in real value and struggle to find acceptable healthcare as you age (healthcare in the US is increasingly staffed by immigrants, especially nursing).


This is my read too. Google wants more control here. They have been banning accounts and the repo for gemini-cli is a dumpster fire of issues

They are buying from Chinese dealers. And sadly, as with most GLP-1s they likely will need to take them for the rest of their life or suffer some incredible rebound weight loss/ negative health effects.

These medications are incredible if you are overweight and need them. But they are not a panacea. Also arguably buying these drugs from Chinese dealers means there is no recourse if you get a bad batch.

There is a pseudo testing setup around Finnrick but talk to anyone with a PhD in biochemistry and there are numerous ways these molecules can be improperly manufactured.

Surprised to see so many on HN being relatively careless with their heath


I don’t think anything you’re saying is outright false but the way you describe cessation as having an incredible rebound effect shows that you haven’t done very much research, that you’re negatively polarized, and that you’re trying to put spin on it


Lots of people enjoyed, sometimes quietly, feeling superior to people not predisposed to self control. Now that you can get a weekly shot of it, they desperately search for something new to feel quietly smug about. "Well you'll have to take it the rest of your life!" Yeah, ok, good! I hope it stays available the rest of my life.


I think unethical and illegal activity is par for the course in most realms of American business. And I would replace “sued into oblivion” with mandatory arbitration and “appropriate settlement”.


inb4 this technique is subsumed into the next MoE model release

LLMs are evolving so fast I wouldn’t be surprised if this technique was not needed in <6 months


I don't think the MoE part has anything to do with it, but the current gen of multimoddal models can do thinking interleaved with autoregressive(?*) image-gen so it's probably not long before they bake this into the RL process, same way native thought obviated need for "think carefully step by step" prompts.


LLMs are rather devolving at this point.


This seems to be testing the models on leetcode style prompts that also require the model to implement TCP calls to send the results. Interesting but probably not a apples to apples comparison. The fact only Grok qualified for the first one seems suspect


Exactly. So just buy it. They have the money or does Sam need a moonbase to complete his villain arc. Any of these AI companies could come out and start paying creators a licensing fee. Instead of being forced to pay damages which is their current approach


If we have to devolve into a tech dystopia, the least they could do is make it interesting. The billionares should get into a lunar robot war, corporate space wars would make a great drama. Maybe if they're busy playing Star Wars they'll forget about the rest of us for a while and we can repurpose all that wealth.


They would almost certainly be paying publishers, not creators.


But they don't want to. That's their business model.


I agree with you but Ozempic is a bad example here. Part of the reason it is so valuable is that patients usually must take it for the rest of their lives. Its actually the perfect example of “evil” pharma since patients slmost akways regain the weight if they stop taking it. This leads to dependence or people searching for grey market sources.

An example of “good” pharma would be Hepatitis C. We can now cure that. Although, pharma is charging the lifetime equivalent in order to do that (a treatment can run over $100k and insurance balks at covering it)

So pharma will absolutely develop a cure if they can. They however will still charge you as if you had to take a dose for the rest of your life.


It's ridiculous to say that pharma is "evil" simply because it isn't a one time treatment, especially when you don't know if a one time treatment is even biologically possible. The water company isn't evil for failing to provide me a single glass of water that meets my lifetime hydration requirements.

Not really. Note that it's not taking ozempic for life vs taking nothing for life, but actually taking ozempic for life vs taking ozempic and 5 different medications for life when obesity related illnesses bite you in the ass. So generally ozempic still is "good" pharma (and the plot twist is that almost every pharma is good pharma!).


> Part of the reason it is so valuable is that patients usually must take it for the rest of their lives.

Well yes, Ozempic doesn't solve the habits of a bad diet.

The weight rebound is surely due in little part to removal of hunger suppression as in "hormone rebound", but if you resume eating 5000+ kcal/day because you don't have something that keeps you from doing it, you'll end up in the same situation as before. Ozempic was never meant and is not going to fix your diet. That's a psychological and environmental problem.


Average person in the world earns about $300k in a lifetime. So it’s hard to charge more than that per person.
