I immediately read through this and all linked materials and items linked within those, plan to read though again in the morning, and might test in one of my models later tomorrow. Vacancies and the Beveridge Curve have often been dismissed, but both have proven useful time and again for me.📉📈

The very idea of governments monitoring women's pregnancies is so dystopic that I have a hard time even processing it. The further idea that when someone miscarries, whether or not she's prosecuted depends on that government's ability to distinguish miscarriages from abortions is beyond words.

There's a growing ecosystem of software tools that, essentially, are ChatGPT API calls for their core functionality but I'm not aware of anything among those that's itself entrenched enough to keep users if prices increase substantially. LLMs are here to stay, but... this is a strange business plan.

Also pretty funny to think your demand elasticity is <1 when even the weird, free "MyAI" bot in Snapchat can do most everything your product does (likewise the Amazon shopping assistant chat bot). I'll be surprised if doubling prices doesn't lower revenue by driving users to alternative products.

... That's both the highest reading I've seen posted and the only reading above 1000 that wasn't from an airplane. Maybe I need to revisit my N95 habits (at this point, generally only when on a plane)

Tesla's factory floors have a toxic culture of sexual harassment, racial discrimination, and unsafe conditions. Now I can report for the first time that this has cropped up in its newest Austin plant: www.thenation.com/article/soci...
