AI isn't showing up in S&P 500 company earnings as a line item. proof: https://aiearnings.dev given the stakes, we'd better hope it starts showing up soon.

This is a good headline and point. Realistically, they're worse than a central bank, because they can't exactly expand supply monotonically like a normal central bank. Nor do they realistically control rates.

The bioweapons threat is real, but shouldn't be constrained at the 'intelligence' level. Rather it should be constrained at the supply chain level. The cybersecurity threat will likely be a cat and mouse react game for a whil

What will be even more shocking is the future AI agents in clinics saying: "Oops, you're totally right. That particular gene interaction is fatal. Would you like me to repair the gene therapy to account for this?" Such is t

Only here to say, regardless of the drama, shouldn't we all be excited if the Navier-Stokes gap is closed? Time will almost certainly reveal a lot more about the drama and the related ethics, but let's get excited about the actual

For all the smarm and jokes, IBM still makes ~$70B in annual revenue and enables billions more in systems integrators. Not many companies can say that. This allows them to take the secondary revenue in-house and potentially fund a new m

It absolutely is. 1 hour minimum wage vs Big Mac price in the US : 1980: $3.10 vs $0.50 2022: $7.25 vs $8.00 That's the whole thing.

DHH mentioned the fourth turning as an inspiration about cyclical history. With LLMs historical analysis is simple, this webpage is the result. Some slop, but overall a nice primer. Enjoy.

Sad, but this deplatforming nonsense was always going to cut both ways. The slippery slope continues.

Robotics data remains scarce and expensive, leaving many important tasks outside the pre-training distribution. Out-of-distribution ICL is therefore essential for general-purpose robot policies. S1 ICL can drive ultimate success in novel ta

The rate of model improvement has slowed, and may not recover. It's unclear if Mythos2 or 3 or whatever they're calling their next model will be an improvement for most common enterprise use cases. LLMs can't solve basic thin
