> OpenAI has written a new policy proposal 'Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age: Ideas to Keep People First.'  They propose the creation of a Public Wealth Fund that will provide American citizens with an automatic public stake in AI companies and AI infrastructure even if they are not invested in the market. Returns from the fund would be distributed directly to citizens.

> I don't know who wants to hear this, but buying an expensive MacBook Pro or Mac Studio to run small LLM models is useless. These models have low density of world knowledge and reasoning. It's much cheaper and faster to use an API. Maybe next year they will be useful, but not this year.

> Some games had the rare quality of being entirely unique, introducing concepts that had never been done before. These days, most games are variations of ideas that have existed for a long time.
> 
> One of those unique-concept games that has stuck with me over the years is Marble Madness. I was instantly hooked the first time I played it. Although I wasn’t very good, the urge to return and try again was incredibly strong.
> 
> It had an almost mesmerizing quality. The graphics - for 1984 - were impressive, as were the music and sound effects, which added to the “this feels very different” vibe. Most fascinating, though, were the physics: the marble reacting to slippery surfaces, bumping over ramps, and being knocked aside by the “evil marble.” It demanded real skill and patience to navigate the levels.
> 
> The unique gameplay also makes it timeless in my opinion. Marble Madness looked great over 40 years ago and will still look and play great 40 years from now. The only downside was its relative shortness with only 6 levels. Mark Cerny originally wanted to create more but the memory limitations were the main reason for the small number of levels.
