I thought they invest any surplus into government debt securities?

Social security is a bad investment for an individual, but most people are terrible investors if they invest into their future at all. So by giving everyone that baseline, it helps out everyone else, including the rich. And is therefore a fantastic investment for everyone.
Hah! I've used that analogy before too!
This was an interesting article! While there is an argument to be made for an "AGI Manhattan project" I'm not convinced that companies like OpenAI or xAI will be of much value to a project like that at all. It would be like if the US government took over Joey's Really Big Stacks of Dynamite Emporium in the 1940's.
The idea of using LLMs for ideas is so sad to me. Isn't basically all of the fun of coming up with a new drink, the coming up with part?
This is a guess but I feel like it was around the time that most coding was done for things that weren't explicitly "programs", like web design CSS/Java and smartphone "apps".
That was actually super helpful, thank you.
That's cool, it just... does those things? How does it connect to those apps? I can't even get Gemini to set a reminder and that's on a Google device.
Just curious, what does "some automation" entail? I thought LLMs could only work with text, like summarize documents and that sort of thing.
This appears to be one guy's blog who writes about the royal family, with no connection to the family itself.
He also outputs a suspiciously large amount of articles/day. Probably using AI.

Thanks for clarifying!
