    If an AI agent understands you (and book writing, and the topic of the book) well enough then it should be able to write you a pretty nice bespoke book. I do suspect that interacti…

    I mean, obviously it's a numbers game. There are only so many hackers, but there are a lot of Ivy League people and FANG people. So YC chose to open their gates. Whether this will …

    LLMs are already better than books for exploring some ideas. But in conversation form. Until we get better versions of o1 that can generate insights over days and then communicate …

    Doesn't Microsoft have a decent amount of ownership in some aspect of OpenAI's labyrinthine structure? Take Anthropic for a more legible example: Amazon and Google both gladly boug…

    I mean, consistent mediocre releases is exactly what we have gotten out of OpenAI. But we know they started training Orion in ~May. We know it takes months to train a frontier mode…
