I feel like the main pain point is manually importing your transactions from your bank account, credit cards, etc. Does this allow for synching your accounts? Like the idea!
I think this is a fun problem: Say LLMs really do allow people to be 2X or 3X more productive. Then those people that understand concepts and rely on LLMs should be more successful and productive. But if those people slowly decline in ability they will become less successful in the long term. But how much societal damage is done in the meantime? Such as creating insecure software or laying off/not hiring junior developers.
This study is so limited in scope that the title is really misleading - "AI Use Reprograms the Brain" is not really a fair assessment of the study. The study focuses on one question: what is the effect of relying on an LLM writing your essay. The answer: it makes you forget how to write a good essay. I mean, I think its obvious that if you rely on an LLM to write for you, you effectually lose the skill of writing. But what if you use an LLM to teach you a concept? Would this also lead to a cognitive decline? I don't know the answer, but I think that is a question that ought to be explored.
That’s all fair context, but rent stabilization as a policy goal has real trade-offs. Freezing rents might offer short-term relief, but long term it disincentivizes new construction.
Realtors pull a similar trick: instead of dropping the price on Zillow (which flags it), they delist and relist at a lower price. Zillow treats it like a new listing, so the price history looks clean. Totally skews market transparency.
I follow our local market very closely because we're considering moving and have never seen this. I've even seen houses delisted and relisted, and the full pricing history remains on Zillow. Can you share an example?
Although both listings display full price history, there’s a key difference in how the information is presented. For the Mellwood Avenue example, a “Price cut: $16K (8/1)” notice appears directly above the listed price, making it immediately visible to users. In contrast, the East Washington listing does not show any price reduction at the top. Instead, users must scroll down to the Price History section to find that detail, easy enough to do but it is an attempt by realtors to obscure the market.
Also when the listing is removed and added, it resets the Days on Market count. This can obscure how long the property has truly been listed, which is a critical indicator of whether the current price is sustainable or if the buyer should negotiate down.
