    But that’s it, correlation. Giants with overwhelming distribution also have overwhelming marketing spent. And tons of leverage over smaller copetitors and parters that can be use to abuse them. There is a fairly good evidence that marketing works at awareness phase - as long as you need to inform people that you exist, it works. Once you pass this threshold marketing increase the sales, but not on the rate that justify the cost. Every natural experiment (when the ads were not launched by accident in some region or chanell) suggest brands like Coca-cola are loosing money on their marketing. It’s a chinken game mixed with the king is naked game, where no one want to be a guy who say “maybe you pay us too much”. Aka bubble.


















  • OK, let’s slow down for one secound.

    1. if you re-designed it with complex multiplication problem instead od writtng tasks, and calculators instead of chat gpt - and change nothing else - you would get exactly the same result. If you reduce the challange to minimum, how do you expect brain to respond?
    2. The “we have this not-reviewed singular study based on 50 people we should raise the alarm NOW” is every sensational.

    There are so many problems with AI, and we need so many checks and balances. Sure. But let’s not change it into another “our pop-science vs their pop-science” kind of problem.
