In 2016 Geoffrey Hinton said “we should stop training radiologists now" since AI would soon be better at their jobs.
He was right: models have outperformed radiologists on benchmarks for ~a decade.
Yet radiology jobs are at record highs, with an average salary of $520k.

Am 8. Oktober erscheint mein zweiter Roman "2033". Darin habe ich den Untergang der deutschen Demokratie durchgespielt — verpackt in die hoffentlich spannende Geschichte einer jungen Strafverteidigerin.
Es würde mich sehr freuen, wenn Ihr es bestellt, z.B. hier: www.genialokal.de/Produkt/Bija...

„Unsere Studie zeigt: Die größere Herausforderung liegt nicht allein in ungleicher Bezahlung für gleiche Arbeit, sondern in der strukturellen Trennung von Migrantinnen und Einheimischen im Arbeitsmarkt.“
Zuwanderungs-Lohnlücke: Erstmals ergründet eine Studie die Ursachen genauer
Selbst mit gleichen Qualifikationen verdienen Migranten weniger als Einheimische. Das liegt aber weniger an einer direkten Diskriminierung bei der Bezahlung, zeigt eine neue Studie.

While the long-view is great, the conclusion that „in the next crisis, governments may not be able to foot the bill“ is poor: If that’s the case, financial markets as a whole break down—making the scenario rather a basket case.

LLMs are bad at knowing what’s important.
That’s why it matters whether you give it info in bulk (better) than step by step: the LLM may confuse „wrong“ context it creates while answering with „true“ context you only know.
Enter context engineering.

Was spricht für eine Fusion von #Commerzbank und #Unicredit – was dagegen?
Eine Fusion könnte die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit europäischer Banken stärken. Mehr Wettbewerb erhöht Stabilität & Flexibilität und lässt Banken nicht „too big to fail“ werden.
