Speculative Growth and the AI "Bubble" [pdf]

High AI valuations may reflect a third possibility: temporary overvaluation drives capital accumulation, shifting income to savers and lowering long-term interest rates, even if valuations later correct. This creates a self-sustaining high-capital economy with higher wages and lower interest rates, but risks failure if corrections occur too early.

We don't use AI in any of our design or production processes

https://cdn.fontdue.com/mass-driver/images/2318642923412919528/article-header.jpg?v=63950590976
Typography evolved through centuries of human craftsmanship, embedding cultural and physical experiences. AI, lacking human nuance and cultural depth, risks stagnating innovation and marginalizing underrepresented voices in design.

Tambara Equipment

I was originally attracted to category theory when trying to understand Haskell optics. I was puzzled by the van Laarhoven’s functor representations and Kmett’s use of Tambara modules. By playing Tetris with the Yoneda lemma I was able to make some progress, attacking more and more esoteric topics. With a group of researcher and students at the Oxford Adjoint School in Applied Category Theory ...
