The problem of running a $4 Trillion consumer hardware company, with incredibly optimized supply chain operations, is that it heavily constrains the directions a new CEO would take the company, and by extension, the set of plausible people

I'd agree with all those facts about the competitive landscape, but in each of those competitors, there's enough wiggle room for me to think OpenAI isn't completely boxed in. Google on multimodality: has been truly impressive

There's the technique of model orthogonalization which can often zero out certain tendencies (most often, refusal), as demonstrated by many models on HuggingFace. There may be an existing open weights model on HuggingFace that uses ort

Honestly, I think the mode that will actually occur is that incumbent businesses never successfully adopt AI, but are just outcompeted by their AI-native competitors.

IMO the lack of real version control and lack of reliable programmability have been significant impediments to impact and adoption. The control surfaces are more brittle than say, regex, which isn’t a good place to be. I would quibble that

I think in part because of YouTube demonization, which is how TikTok could poach the creators in the first place. I suspect if they're mirroring content to YouTube, it's more to try to attract audience to TikTok than monetize thro

I would use the word 'fresh' for TikTok; like old school YouTube, there's quirkiness and variety.

My belief is that while eng manager empire building was the easier path to get promoted before 2022, it's not anymore, for two main reasons: 1. HC doesn't accrue like that anymore. 2. Many organizations are looking to delayer; har

As I understand it, the Q-hypothesis is often situated within the hypothesis of Marcan priority (Mark was the source for Luke and Matthew), and Q is a way of explaining agreements within Luke and Matthew that are not also found in Mark. The

I think (but cannot prove) that along the way, it was decided to explicitly measure ability to 'study to the test'. My theory goes that certain trendsetting companies decided that ability to 'grind at arbitrary technical thin

Interesting, I'm playing with it and I asked it what SIEMs are and it gave examples of companies/solutions, including Splunk and RSA Security Analytics.

My main thoughts on RTO: 1. No one work arrangement is optimal for all firms. 2. Most policies around RTO (or remote work) are not meaningfully exploring optima (with respect to organizational health and work product quality).

I think your and nostrademon's comments are both insightful. What I would add as someone who has been managing collaborative science teams embedded in large companies remotely, pre- and post-pandemic, is that some forms of alignment tr

NordPass does the first part of this—it at least alerts you to breaches and prompts you to change it. I think the full use case you describe is better suited for a passkey manager, since passkeys are marching generated already.

Mazda engine R&D is seemingly quite impressive: the SkyActive X engine is an unusual ICE gasoline engine that takes ideas from diesel, with greater fuel efficiency and horsepower.

I’m pretty confident (close to the 95% level) they will abandon the public charity structure, but throughout this saga, I have been baffled by the discourse’s willingness to handwave away OpenAI’s peculiar legal structure as irrelevant to t

The behavior of various actors in this saga indeed seems to indicate 'Altman and OpenAI employees back at OpenAI' as the preferred option by those actors over 'Altman and OpenAI employees join Microsoft in masse'.

It's possible, although contradicted by Brockman's statement, that Ilya voted merely to remove Brockman's board seat, and then was in the minority on the Altman vote. I doubt this is what happened, but the reporting that Broc

I’m generally in agreement with this. As this type of caution goes, some individuals could have enough experience and skill to know when they could relax on part of this, but for an inexperienced manager, not keeping distance is a giant pot
