The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 14 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Huang: AI requires onboarding and guardrails just like human hires
“We hire general purpose employees all the time. We hire them out of school. Some of them are more general purpose than others. Some of them are more intelligent than others. But once they become our employees, we decide to onboard them. Train them. Guardrail t…”
Huang: Enterprise AI will evolve into general, industrial, and custom tiers
“Your digital workforce is going to be the same and AI is going to be the same. There'll be some that, that you just kind of take off the shelf. You know, the new search will likely be, you know, some AI. The new research will probably be some AI. But then ther…”
