Various Retailers have Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes (eBook) by Morgan Housel on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

About this title:
Every investment plan under the sun is, at best, an informed speculation of what may happen in the future, based on a systematic extrapolation from the known past.
Same as Ever reverses the process, inviting us to identify the many things that never, ever change.
With his usual elan, Morgan Housel presents a master class on optimizing risk, seizing opportunity, and living your best life. Through a sequence of engaging stories and pithy examples, he shows how we can use our newfound grasp of the unchanging to see around corners, not by squinting harder through the uncertain landscape of the future, but by looking backwards, being more broad-sighted, and focusing instead on what is permanently true.
By doing so, we may better anticipate the big stuff, and achieve the greatest success, not merely financial comforts, but most importantly, a life well lived.

I think this is just a taste. Two years from now, you won't even remember what it was like to see the occasional piece of AI-generated op-ed amidst all the human-written verbiage. I think the corporations will flood the channels with so much AI-generated propaganda, we'll be virtually helpless to discern what's real.
OpenAI signed a deal with Reddit to train its AI models. In other words, the human generated contents with mixed quality on Reddit will be fed to generate more garbage content. Things will grow bad, exponentially.

This isnt about the book but about the overall reviews. I was about to go through customer reviews and then I saw something, before all user comments of a summary of all reviews:

"Customers say
Customers find the book insightful and simple to read. They appreciate the actionable insights and reminders for life that are applicable to almost everything in life. However, opinions differ on whether the book is worth reading and whether it's as good as the first one.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews"

I'm simply confused what I'm suppose to feel towards something that performed an action that is not sentient-based (AI). It doesn't exactly win my trust but rather makes me feel mixed. Does Amazon, given its # of fake reviews, believe that this helps people decide? I usually read reviews from sources outside of Amazon but this AI-powered summary made me curious about what corporations think and plan for about AI. At least they put that out there so that I was even aware it was a software generated. It was written well too as from a person who thought carefully. As with most AI, there still exist a unique tone in the way they answer that is differentiated from other sources or influences. But the line is getting blurry.

I'm not sure you're "supposed to feel" any particular way about this. Forget the now loaded 'AI' moniker and take it as a simple summing up of all the reviews in one paragraph. That's all that happened here. Still ones and zeroes in the background (or matrix, if you're feeling conspiratorial Stick Out Tongue)

AI's strength is taking large amount of text and summarizing it. Amazon feeds all its reviews and AI summarizes it, that's it.
I don't think you should rely on it solely especially if you like reading more in depth reviews but for most people I think this is helpful.

I agree. Although I do think that the ability to influence these by fake reviews devalues it and increases the effectiveness of them to some degree. Not a new problem…it just has the potential to magnify their impact. Let's be honest, we are lazy at heart and looking for convenience… so the summaries will be accepted generally and used.

I accepted the Amazon the Review Checker beta option in Firefox and find it somewhat helpful.

High Five Yes, that song ran through my head when I saw the thread earlier.


Bought the book and it sounds like an interesting read
