Reading this, I caught myself wondering how we distill what's in this excellent write up into something the average consumer understands, including the dangers from buying and usin…

Not only that, but all of this tooling around models has such a short shelf life as the models themselves grow in capabilities, they absorb the tooling. We've already seen it over …

Yep. That was the entire subtext from the drop in IBM's share price yesterday.

Indeed. And you can make this case about any tooling at all that is model adjacent.

Exactly. No reasonable business will ban emails from this subdomain.

I could totally see that

Bingo. They see this as the future commodity it will be. Customers will choose AI providers much way they choose a car: taste, price, a few other factors. And to your point, Google…

That's a solid point. I've often thought about how a hit TV series some day might come out of one person's apartment. AI is inverting the old "ideas are worthless; value is in the …

Wait, are you implying I used an LLM to write my comment? Sorry if I'm misreading what you're saying.

Absolutely and you're dead on thinking about the opening of the possibility space. The value of software as an enterprise will fall as we enter an age of abundant, and often custom…
