“People interacting with an application UI has always been the weakest link in getting work done. A manual and necessary evil. But with agents that can act on data to drive workflow, the idea that work can only be done by people via an application UI is blown to shreds.”

Starting "Bubble and the End of Stagnation" this morning.

"A bubble is therefore not simply a collective delusion but an expression of a future that is radically different from now."

Ha!

I heard Marc Lore speak once, and I remember being SHOCKED that he said he didn’t read in response to a pretty standard question of “what are some books you’d recommend?”

Hilarious that this made it into this book

Currently reading

Funny to read a book where you’re close to the story (and even know some of the players)

We do a little bit of flying this morning.

I’m planning my first flight out of the local area, down to Austin, later this year.

Will be nice to finally use my license for something more than sightseeing and burning cash

Is there any world in which this isn’t product suicide?

This guy has lost his mind.

GPT4 just passed all MIT Math, EE & CS (EECS) courses test with near 100% accuracy

4,550 questions from the 30 MIT Math & CS courses required for a degree Test set, excluding image questions, w/ prompt engineering:

GPT-3.5 solves 33%

GPT-4 solves nearly 100%

I think the timing angle is unreasonable, and Selig himself says it’s more the timing than the cost. These businesses could be viable if you think people will pay the equivalent of a Reddit Premium experience.
