I've emailed Microsoft Investor Relations to clarify what they meant and why they didn't just say "percent" if they meant "percent". But if it had been 16 percent, they'd have been yelling it from the rooftops, and they haven't been.

if you look through the "venture capital" category, you'll see a few where I start going off on this topic. I blame the AI bubble on these bozos specifically.

I have been corrected - this is a coding unit in an engineering degree. Vibe bridge-building.

I think that LW post is the example I remember, Veedrac insisting that mathematics holds even in the face of a "sufficiently intelligent" AGI

tho i think there was also discussion on rat-tumblr

i'm not digging for cites, but i recall it was extremely hard to convince rationalists that even the ASI couldn't just break cryptography, because they don't understand maths either

not Pivoting cos (1) the fanfic attack is implicit in building an uncensored compressed text repo, then trying to filter output after the fact (2) it's an ad for them claiming they can protect against fanfic attacks, and I don't believe them

the post comments are also peak rationalist

look, that was actually funny. All the record company A&R men shitting themselves that, in straight-up A/B testing, they were failing to compete with muzak.

I can excuse racism, but I can't excuse the implication I might be in any way tangential to racism
