With so much talk about "Agents" these days, do you want an objective POV on what the tech can really do? TLDR: Progress has been rapid in the last year, but agents still have a long way to go! I recommend watching the Leader Board of the Carnegie Mellon "Agent Company" task completion benchmark.

The New York Times is playing both sides of the AI bubble question this week:
First, an update opinion piece: AI Is a Bubble. Maybe That's OK

Then, a more worrying view in business coverage:

IMHO "Forward Deployed" was always just a fancy way of saying "services". Am I right? But I'm glad to see my old job is getting some respect!

Are you someone who works with code? Do you want to tell the hype from reality in #LLM coding assistants? Apple created a new coding benchmark #livecodebench with help from human Olympiad medalists, preventing contamination with continuously updated problems. Top findings 🧵

Heard about the AI 2027 forecast? I don't believe it. The least plausible part is a leap from AI coding to AI research - totally underestimates the vast spaces of plausible hypotheses that good researchers use their knowledge and understanding to prune down. #AI #aihype #GenAI #LLM #AI2027 #neuroai

They also say: "Artificial intelligence (AI) has become indispensable. AI enables businesses to analyze subscriber behaviors, predict churn risks, and automate recovery efforts." I always said, Fight #Churn With Data!

I posted this on LI today and it’s not a joke: I would really like an LLM that would be less confident and think more.

Seriously, I am willing to admit significant gains in my own productivity from LLM's but significant means like 10%, maybe 15%; not 1000%. So when I hear claims of 10X productivity improvement I think, what were those people doing before hand? #genai #chatgpt #llm #aihype #datascience

#App #Churn is so HIGH! 80% churn on day 1, 98% churn by day 30 🤯 #SaaS and #Streaming are lucky. As David Curry from Business of Apps observes, "the majority of apps being free to download... users have invested very little into the app." www.businessofapps.com/data/app-ret...

Made my first PR on an #OpenSource project. Before now, all the projects I worked with had everything I needed. The PR is just a small suggestion to improve memory performance in #EconML (#causalml) - we'll see what the repo maintainers think of my hackery, haha...
