  • No, I think you are confusing the two kinds of trusts: a revocable trust means you still own the money or property, an irrevocable trust means you don’t own it anymore. Either you “give it away” in an irrevocable trust (which can’t be “dissolved”), or you don’t give it away (in a revocable trust).

    You are describing putting something in a revocable trust, which is not spending it or giving it away. It’s closer to just putting a label on it: “this money is for charity”. You don’t get a tax deduction unless you put the money in a irrevocable charitable trust or the charity actually receives the money (from any source, trust, whatever).








  • provenance requires some way to filter the internet into human-generated and AI-generated content, which hasn’t been cracked yet

    It doesn’t need to be filtered into human / AI content. It needs to be filtered into good (true) / bad (false) content. Or a “truth score” for each.

    We don’t teach children to read by just handing them random tweets. We give them books that are made specifically for children. Our filtering mechanism for good / bad content is very robust for humans. Why can’t AI just read every piece of “classic literature”, famous speeches, popular books, good TV and movie scripts, textbooks, etc?








  • Are you asking for a source with unbiased info about North Korea? That’s almost impossible. Read some interviews with defectors and they will tell you how they bribed police or had hidden electronic devices.

    The average person in NK is just like you or me, but they don’t have much more than some basic food and a few possessions. Their lives basically suck solely because of the government and they live right next to one of the most developed metropolises on Earth.


  • Well that’s just not true. Anything electronic landing broken in NK would be scavenged for parts in 5 minutes. People in the countryside there don’t have access to new things like those in Pyongyang.

    They probably turn in the balloons to the local authority after they take what they want. Then the local police take some and send it to the main headquarters. I’m sure it’s like drug shipments that start out at 10 kilos and end up at 2 kilos by the time it reaches the evidence locker.
