No painter has ever put a list of citations on the bottom of their easel (though it'd be a funny art piece), and they shouldn't be expected to.

Crypto rerouted a huge amount of wealth into the hands of young tech nerds who dreamed real big about how money and governance might change for the better. That alone is probably one of the best things to happen to society in the last five years.

I reported this before, but now it's a bit clearer: jQuery did indeed peak in usage halfway through 2020, and is only *now* finally in decline.
What amazing impact... peaking at *80%* penetration of the top 100K websites!

Paper: New benchmark testing if models like GPT3 are truthful (= avoid generating false answers).
