Voronoi diagram (black points) computed by projecting vertically lower envelope of n 3D graphs of functions {(x,y_i(x))} with y_i(x)=D(x_i,x) (pink). When distance D(x,x')=‖x-x'‖^2, graphs of y_i are paraboloids and Voronoi cell borders are linear

OpenAI – now worth half a trillion dollars – infamously started as a research lab Only 14 companies ever reached a trillion dollar valuation. Two of these – Apple and Microsoft – were also built on the work of a research lab, XEROX PARC This is not a coincidence In 2017, Alan

Nature adopted fractal patterns to maximise surface area under constraints. I have a theory (totally unproven) that we evolved to tell stories because they compress wisdom in a similar fractal way. A five minute parable maximises the surface area of wisdom exchange under

Copyright law protected not just the economic incentives of creators, but also the value of creative work as an information signal (e.g., for employers trying to hire talent). I did not understand this about copyright law before its collapse, but in retrospect it seems obvious.
