Imagine how different Star Wars would be without Jones.

How do you figure that? For ETH, OpenAI is engaging with top experts in this area. It's unlikely that they'll need 10 man-years combined to go through the results:

> This work will be verified and shepherded by a group led by Russell Impagliazzo (UC San Diego), Ramamohan Paturi (UC San Diego), and Ryan Williams (MIT). All three are experts in algorithm design and complexity theory.

> Impagliazzo and Paturi, along with Francis Zane, are the original proposers of the Exponential Time Hypothesis, and have authored a number of influential papers on the topic over the last 30 years.

> Williams has refuted strong versions of the ETH, used ETH for hardness results, and connected algorithms and lower bounds.

If you have, then I'd say no. They know what it's about and what to expect. If you haven't, then yes, it's a waste of their time.

It'd be nice if the article linked to the sources. There's very little substance in this article.

> The terminology used by the Federal Government should reflect the transformative capabilities of these technologies and the limitless opportunities they create for the American people. Accordingly, the term “Super Intelligence” more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies. It is therefore the policy of my Administration that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the executive branch shall use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” and will not acknowledge the usage of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in any applicable setting.

For example you say "Keep enough water, food and essential supplies for every person and pet in the home for at least two weeks". Ok, how much water is that? Is a pack of water bottles enough?

- It's obviously AI created

- There's way too much text

Visuals tell a story faster and leave a bigger impact than a wall of text. Is there a way you could turn some of the most important messages into visuals? For example, "it could take weeks to restore electricity" - having a calendar view or animation of this with perhaps comparable situations that happened elsewhere.

For food and water, show pictures of what someone should have on hand for a family of 4.

Your main message is go buy water and canned food but that doesn't appear until 3/4 of the way down the page. Research kits that people can buy at their favourite local stores or online and have a clear call to action for people to buy one of them now. If someone visits and leaves the page by buying a kit without reading any of the information, that's going to help them way more than reading and absorbing all the info but without buying a kit. If there's no good kits that you think are worth buying, that could be a good business opportunity. Make your own and sell that.

The sources take up way too much space. That section could be made much smaller.

Having said that, I used Claude to do my taxes this year. I generally use the free fillable forms provided by the IRS so I don't use a program that tries to abstract it all away. It was much easier to do with Claude than manually this year.

lol, I feel old now talking about this :)

This made me look up when the rules about posting in the newspaper went into effect. I was surprised to find that it was 2005. This is much later than I thought. I would have guessed the 90s. By 2005, it was clear that the newspaper industry was dying due to the internet. I guess this is one example of how out of touch government can be.

Someone else mentioned in the thread elsewhere about whether the rules would need Congressional approval. Gemini says that these are purely an agency regulation and the Department of Labor can update them at anytime. It's kind of mind-boggling that no administration has updated them in 20+ years.

If you're looking for the human touch, what about trying to offer a 15-minute zoom call instead if they want to discuss something with you? That way you'll know they're human (at least for now) and you get to connect about a shared interest.

I agree that it's a problem. I think shouting into the void isn't going to change anything. It's just going to get worse. It's similar to how I never answer my phone anymore due to spam unless the call is from a saved contact...and even then it's not 100% reliable.

(B) Advertisements in newspaper or professional journals.

(1) Placing an advertisement on two different Sundays in the newspaper of general circulation in the area of intended employment most appropriate to the occupation and the workers likely to apply for the job opportunity and most likely to bring responses from able, willing, qualified, and available U.S. workers.

(2) If the job opportunity is located in a rural area of intended employment that does not have a newspaper with a Sunday edition, the employer may use the edition with the widest circulation in the area of intended employment.

(3) The advertisements must satisfy the requirements of paragraph (f) of this section. Documentation of this step can be satisfied by furnishing copies of the newspaper pages in which the advertisements appeared or proof of publication furnished by the newspaper.

(4) If the job involved in the application requires experience and an advanced degree, and a professional journal normally would be used to advertise the job opportunity, the employer may, in lieu of one of the Sunday advertisements, place an advertisement in the professional journal most likely to bring responses from able, willing, qualified, and available U.S. workers. Documentation of this step can be satisfied by providing a copy of the page in which the advertisement appeared.
