Interest payments are already set to grow to 8% of GDP if they stay at 4.2%. If rates are 1 pp higher, then they’d top 12% of GDP within 30 years

As models get close to — or, in some cases, beyond — human experts, it becomes very challenging to figure out how to measure them. But what a fascinating problem! I suspect we're going to have to evaluate models the same way we evaluate human innovation: dialogically and perspectivally.

I am definitely not wearing this ring I got.
Google Search: “giant eye gave me ring of power should i wear it”

AI Overview

Do not wear the ring. A giant eye means you have encountered Sauron or a similar dark lord in Middle-earth. That ring is the One Ring, and wearing it will corrupt your mind, strip away your free will, and reveal your exact location to the enemy instantly.

Why You Should Not Wear It

Total Control: The maker of the ring wants to rule your mind.

Instant Danger: The giant eye will see you the second you slip it on.

Slow Ruin: It twists your thoughts and ruins your life over time.

What You Should Do Instead

Do not put it on your finger.

Keep it hidden in a dark, safe place.

Find a trusted wizard or a brave friend to help destroy it in a volcano.

Should I help you plan a trip to a volcano, or do you need advice on how to hide from the giant eye?

AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses.
