There is an IKEA effect when it comes to LLMs, where people find the text that they prompted to be fascinating, and the text that others prompted to be boring.

That's the thing. SBF would gamble the entire Earth on double or nothing with 51% odds, because of the positive EV. Now he's in prison for 25 years. It's not a coincidence. He knew he was gambling, and he lost.

Thanks! I presume that's oral finasterise, and the topical version is less effective? And doesn't the impotency go away if you stop talking it?

Curious to see how Claude sonnet 3.5 (new) performs. Feels like it has more emotional intelligence than ChatGPT. You might have invented a new AI benchmark.

I notice the front of my hairline thinning. What can I do? Male in my 30s. I lasted this long but now my time has come.
My recollection is that there are actually effective treatments if started early? And is there a way to objectively measure thinning? Calipers? Any Gwern-esque research on this?

Claude also suggests furniture and art, but also a nice piano or a grandfather clock.
If I ask it to be more creative, it suggests a custom stained glass window, a commissioned illuminated family history manuscript, a heritage garden installation, a commissioned tapestry or quilt.
From a pragmatic viewpoint, figure out how to buy index funds if you don't already know. Some questions to ponder: why do people prefer index funds over actively managed funds? Why is diversification good, and why is it bad? How do most actively managed funds perform compared to say the S&P500?
The personal finance subreddits have decent resources and wikis. To be explicit, if you are young I would suggest investing in an index fund, either US equities, S&P500, or a global tracker, and investing with the intention of staying in the market for at least 5-10 years.
First do that, then learn about calls and puts and leverage and alpha and beta and P/E ratios and all that stuff
