Correlation and causation and all that. A number of the women in my wife's family have been diagnosed with Alzheimers. All of the women I know in her family also hate driving, beca…

I do like it.

One of the quotes that always sticks with me is: "Most of our so-called reasoning consists of finding arguments to go on believing as we already do." -- James Harvey Robinson. I've…

I think OpenAI is just getting beaten so badly in the Enterprise space that they have to make rosy predictions about the consumer space.

I expect that a lot of the money will be in Enterprise AI.

I think you can both be sad that something you built was destroyed, and also aware that you already sold it and are not somehow personally a victim.

It's tough for me to square the two things happening simultaneously in AI right now: 1. LLM Model providers are starting to charge real costs to users, revealing that AI usage is m…

I did an analysis of reconstruction spending in Afghanistan sometime around 2010, just looking at what money was spent where and what the impacts were. Infrastructure spending was …

Oh dear.

I've been avoiding Chrome-based browsers for many years now but have only recently become aware of how catastrophically low the Firefox market share is. I'm kind of shocked that mo…

Seems like all of OpenAI's "deals" are announcement fodder with no real contract, primed to quietly fall through later.

For all of the article's brown-nosing, there doesn't seem anything particularly groundbreaking about this thesis: the internet was once thought of as a mechanism for the unvarnishe…

I didn't realize Firefox's market share had gotten so low. Now I'm sad.
