That reasoning makes no sense at all to me: interest rates are about to be lowered again, to save the banking system again. By flooding it with new money from the FED. Again.

How is that going to make inflation go down?

IIUC the criticism in your post comes down to this:
1) Neither ChatGPT, nor Bing can access URLs when you ask them to.
2) However, similarly to Perplexity.ai and Phind.com, Bing infers a search query from your message, does a search, and then summarises the first 3–5 results. ChatGPT doesn't yet offer such a functionality.
3) Bing Chat has a much more restrictive system prompt, which results in hallucinations and lies happening less often.
4) The summary of gpt-3.5-turbo-based ChatGPT was less creative than then summary of the Bing Chat GPT-4 instance.

If I understood the points correctly, the comparison is… flawed, in my opinion.

If this kind of abstract copyright regime of 'I had the idea first, and anyone who uses a derivative of my idea must pay me money!' is a very sillpery slope of anyone who makes art or music of any genre needing to pay a royalty to sony/disney, because that is where these 'flavor copyrights' will end up going. The right kind of ambitious amoral lawyer in a common law regime will leverage an AI royalty law into a generic style copyright law because that is what will be needed to write this law properly.

And on top of that, it will become a spotify where each creator gets a sum total of $0.00000000001 per AI their media item was trained on and maybe a few dollars a month, while paying a greater tax to apple-sony-disney whenever their AI style recognizers charge you a royalty bill for using whatever bullshit styles it notices in your media items.

Copyright should stay in it's 'exact duplication' box, lest we release an even worse intellectual property monster on the world.
First Republic Bank Taps Lazard for Review of Strategic Options
It is very difficult to measure "true" inflation when most of it is hidden in decline of quality of services or shirnkflation (the latter is a bit easier to track).

For example, the restaurant who still offer you the same price for the meal but now clean the toilets and cutlery 80% less frequently than they did two years ago (to save on dishwasher energy cost, or recruiting 20% less cleaner hours). Or the school that charges you the same fee although they have quietly increased the student to teacher ratio.

I am wondering what is the current stat of the art to capture such hidden inflation, I guess you can track reviews to see if there is an uptick in negative reviews but then this is hard to translate quantitatively into how much it is contributing to inflation.

The Fed's measure of inflation is supposed to include this.
"A problem" is a bit of an understatement... at this point it's basically caused the global polio eradication effort to fail. Wild type 2 poliovirus no longer exists anywhere in the world, and all infections with it over the last couple of decades are vaccine-derived. The original plan was that everywhere would switch to a bivalent oral vaccine without the type 2 virus, any remaining vaccine-derived outbreaks could be mopped up with monovalent vaccine, and then it would finally be eradicated for real. This failed - there were widespread outbreaks and targetted vaccination just caused the number of outbreaks to increase. The new oral vaccine was the fallback plan and the fact that this is already happening with it is not a great sign.

> John William's shadow stats. He simply measures inflation as the government used to in the 80s and 70s, and surprise surprise its more like 10% or 14%

I don’t understand how anyone who knows about basic compound growth can take this seriously.

10% annual inflation from 1970 would mean prices have increased by 150X since 1970.

That would mean houses would have cost a couple thousand dollars and a dozen eggs would have been about four cents.

And that’s only using the lower 10% estimate, not the higher 14% estimate. It’s obviously not even close to reality.

It’s a quack website that can’t even hold up to the most basic scrutiny.

The 2% target is rather arbitrary, and is independent of the measurement method. Both the target and all of the metrics are trying to capture the intuitive, handwavey notion of "a healthy economy".

So they don't put too much stress on that 2% number. If the number were at 1.9% or 2.1%, they'd assume it's all in the margin of error. If it gets below 1% or above 4% for a while, they apply some tools in the direction of 2%, but not trying to overshoot.
Inflation was here before the war started. Inflation hit 5.0% in May of 2021. It was already 7.9% in Feb of 2022 when the war started.

I suspect that influencers will be targeted, as they put out so much material, and many have means.

> But you obviously need more base pairs to identify which base pair you are looking at in the DNA.

But that's not a SNP, then, that's a read that happens to contain a SNP.

Generally a SNP is addressed by giving the reference base, the mutated base, the chromosome, the base position in that chromosome, and the assembly used to align the read to that location. For example, a T->C mutation at chr2:25164877 using hg38.

Yes, you need to have the whole read to align to your genome assembly to detect the SNP. But before you do that, you don't know whether you have a SNP. And after you do that, the rest of the read is not useful if what you care about is the SNP.

I was speaking to their specific logic and not their specific situation. Whether their situation qualifies legally as price gouging depends on the degree they raised prices and the jurisdiction in which they do business. Neither of those were mentioned in the original post, so whether their situation was truly and legally was price gouging was unanswerable to any of us.

I specifically used general terms in my comment. This included using "disaster" instead of "pandemic" or "COVID". I included an "or" in "supply shocks, demand shocks, or both". I also referred to "various industries". I thought collectively that was enough to make it clear that I was speaking more broadly than just referring to OP's specific situation. I don't know exactly were I lost you, was it just the fact that my comment was a direct reply to their and you took that as an indication that I wouldn't speak beyond that initial context?

The BLS uses both actual rents and owner's equivalent rents as components of the overall Consumer Price Index inflation calculation.

> Ok, if you were the government and I asked you to measure rent increases - what would you do? Would you look at the cost of renting on average in a city and compare them to last years? Seems like the most obvious way... Well, that is not how the government does it now.

Except, in fact, it actually is how they do the rent portion of CPI. (Well, its not city rent averages, they do same-unit rent changes and average those.)

> It currently uses a metric called "owner's equivalent rent".

No, OER is used for...OER. Rent is used for rent. They are two separate subcomponents of the housing component of CPI.

The CP thing is going to open up a can of worms. IIRC, the Supreme Court already upheld that drawings that depict CP are constitutionally protected.

The government's goal is to use the same metric repeatedly. It doesn't matter whether it's higher or lower than some other metric. They only care about how it is compared to last month and last year, so they can make decisions about next month and next year.

They know that 6% is too high, so they'll keep trying to push inflation down. They'd do roughly the same if it were 4%; the margins of error are too large to distinguish.

If the number were 1% that would raise eyebrows, and you'd wonder if one metric or the other was a failure. Same if the number were 15%.

But no economist is worrying too much about somebody else going "... but it's really 4%". Especially if they don't have a track record for that number.
