mark rothko's paintings and studies in color are beautiful and ahead of their time, but he was always limited by the physical medium of canvas, brush, and paint now thanks to generative AI we can finally predict what rothko could have created if he had access to modern computers

If you need to ban ChatGPT at your bank, school, or company, I have a GPT that does it for you. Feel free to use the updated GPT to Ban GPT to create a policy to ban itself. It can output Word files, if that is more useful. chat.openai.com/g/g-612TDn3u9-…

I just read the 43-page International Monetary Fund paper on cross border flows in bitcoin. Thought I'd share three interesting takeaways to crystallize my thoughts. A quick thread. imf.org/en/Publication…

Less than 50 authors sell more than 500,000 units per year globally. 90% sell fewer than 2k, 50% less than a dozen. Book publishers think like VCs investing in many books with a small chance of success. Fascinating article on the economics of the publishing industry.

The IMO is the hardest high school Math test. A lesser known sibling, the IOL (International Olympiad for Linguistics), starts tomorrow! Students are asked to translate lesser-known languages purely using logic. 5 problems, 6hrs. The problems seem absolutely impossible.

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill. Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me): 🧵
