1/ Preaching to the choir but the questions on grad applications are so dumb. Some things I've noted:
- an "end date" to how long you've known applicants. because you just stop knowing
- you are REQUIRED to rate them on "other" and the specify what that "other" is
- the insane personality questions

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Also, we ALL created the capital that AI is trained on. We should all be paid a GDP dividend EVERY MONTH.
