    Ironically this article/blog itself is giving off an AI-generated smell as it's tone and cadence seem very similar to LinkedIn posts or rather output of prompts to create LinkedIn …

    With studies like these it's important to keep in mind selection effects. Most of the high volume enterprise use cases use their cloud providers (e.g., azure) What we have here is …

    This is fantastic. I'm reminded of the Samo Burja thesis that civilization is actually a lot older when we think and ancient civilizations including the Bronze Age were much more a…

    At-bats have always been the name of the game. That's why if you're going to do something risky make sure you build the safety net

    Yeah I think all of the concerns about ARPU and what the ROI from AI will be are not justified given the opportunity if executed well. LLMs contain high intent significant memory. …

    Fascinating that the state-of-the-art in building agentic harnesses for long running agent workflows is to ... "use strong-worded instructions" Anthropomorphism of LLMs is obviousl…

    This sounds like one of the "Ironies of Automation" as Lisain Bainbridge pointed out several years ago. The more prevalent automation is, the worse humans do when that automation i…

    The biggest challenge with LinkedIn is the primacy of your linkage to your employer enforces a self-censorship that turns into corporate speak. The overton window on LinkedIn is ac…

    LLMs have high utility for coding. The PMF is so strong that even with just coding i feel they will see an ARPU expansion beyond conservative assumptions. There are adjacancies in …

    This is exactly why I'm focusing on job readiness and remediation rather than the education system. I think working all this out is simply too complex for a system with a lot of ve…

    I hope we continue to see gains for scientific professionals and companies doing research. Even imperfect assistants increase leverage.

    It's very interesting of course at a natural move for aggregation. I'd love to see Stratechery / Ben Thompson's take on this. From my perspective the challenges for vendors and Saa…

    It's insane to me that I can't pay $20/$200 bucks after running out of limits in ~5 messages. Why would you not at least link it to the pro and ultra accounts at least you could up…
