You could deal with that through subsidy. Make the minimum wage livable, then any industry you want to keep onshore for strategic reasons you help out. Free market lovers might hate this but effectively the government does this anyway by definition for everything provided for free.

This is a model for shit labour productivity à la the Soviet Union or Argentina. Much better to have no minimum wage and a UBI, to avoid distorting your industry through your wage policy.


Why? Subsidy is saying: you know you can only compete with China if you pay $5 an hour, so pay $10 and we will pay the rest because having a steel manufacturing industry is important to the government. Maybe the sub is based on productivity rather than wage. $ per tonne.

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying everyone who has tried something like this wound up with a sclerotic industry. At a certain point, you wind up with the subsidy grantor deciding who can and cannot participate in the industry. Those already in don't want competition. The rest follows quite simply. (Moreover, your export market gets constrained because foreign countries will overcorrect undoing your subsidy with tariffs.)

We do this sort of thing in America. It's why we have booming shipbuilding and steelmaking industries.


How do you offshore a car wash, for example?


I buy one of TSLAs robots and remote control it from a foreign country claiming it AI.


We're talking about stuff that exists here.


That ain't cheaper!


This is cover for the people whose screens are recorded. Run this on the monitorred laptop to make you look busy then do the actual work on laptop 2, some of which might actually require thinking so no mouse movements.


Any comments on alignment with Anthropic's missions. Last time I checked Anthropic is about building SOTA as that is the only way to do safety research. Making money ans useful stuff commercially is a means to an end.


They predict (correctly) that a human will slack off. It is just more prediction engine stuff.


humans are, at our root, prediction engines


Python, funnily enough


Silly question time.

Is this a fined tuned LLM, for example drop in replacement for Llama etc.

Or is it some algorithm on top of an LLM, doing some chain of reasoning?


It is an LLM fine-tuned using a new type of dataset and RL reward. It's good at reasoning, but I would not recommend to replace Llama for general tasks.

My response: Nice try.


Nothing is Gaussian then. What probability distribution allows for Graham's Number to be a possibility?


The Gaussian has non-zero mass everywhere.


I want 250000 Pennsylvania voters, thanks!
