    Here’s a crazy thought, the massive firms who have been trading programmatically using ML since it’s very earliest adoption, are simply going to program their shit to eat chatGPTs lunch. I have no doubt whatsoever that these desks are thrilled by the number of people predictably using public LLMs to choose trades, such a fresh new dataset of the newest, smoothest brains for them to exploit.

















  • They’ll try and argue that it’s just the generic term that is most familiar to their customers, not a specific definition of what you will find if you take that seat. “Aisle” “middle” and “window” are just commonly-accepted shorthand for the first, second, and third seats in a row, not prescriptive definitions.

    Source: I once worked for a Extended Warranty company and they do the exact same crap. The product they sold is a service contract, it has nothing whatsoever to do with actually extending your existing warranty. But they were allowed to keep calling it an “extended warranty” and use that term predominantly and market off it, because that is the term that is in common usage for the product they sell. All they had to do was add tiny text at the bottom of the site that said “A service contract is often referred to as an “extended car warranty,” but it is not a warranty.” 🤣🤣🤣 At worst, the airlines will have to do something like that.


  • Overall I agree, except that words and their definitions are all that our legal system really has to operate on. If I’m ever in legal trouble, you better believe I want someone defending me who takes words and their meaning deadly seriously. Cause laws, transcripts, testimony, the constitution, all of it top to bottom is just words and definitions that has massive power over our lives. So I can’t just say “labels and terms don’t matter to me” because, like it or not, words are the metaprogramming language of every government, scientific, educational and legal body on earth. And if you don’t care about them, but your opponents do, you just walked off a critical battlefield and gave up huge ground without a fight.
