Intelligence of AI is peaky which is why it being good at something doesn't correlate with "AGI" A computer can average a billion numbers faster than us but we no longer anthropomorphize it.
ChatGPT is now better at math than almost all humans, an incredible accomplishment. So it's interesting that it's still worse at writing cold emails than the average founder.
imagine trying to compete with this lineup and this is just a random thursday cc @tbpn @johncoogan @jordihays
Browser = OS. The OS has all the context and integrations available for doing great agentic work.
The TAM for Comet is bigger than Perplexity because it appeals to people who don’t even want AI. Just the best core browser in the market at the end of the day.
Broke every @bryan_johnson rule about sleep tonight. Wish me luck.
Engineers spend 70% of their time understanding code, not writing it. That’s why we built Asimov at @reflection_ai. The best-in-class code research agent, built for teams and organizations.
I am looking for great things to read off the beaten path. What is the best blog post, essay, or paper you've read this year that changed your thinking from last year?

All you need to really do to solve SVGs in LLMs is retokenize for it and scale up the training data. You’ll do vastly better.
Don't worry about how long it will take to catch up learning something. Everyone before you had to incur that cost at some point. Choosing something you love makes it easier to be disciplined, pay attention to details, compound your knowledge. The score takes care of itself.
This is one of those lightcone episodes where we will look back at it and go "Oh wow, they said exactly what was going to happen. Why didn't I listen?"
AI has upended the once "safe" CS career path. New grads are facing unemployment rates twice those of art history majors, and a CS degree is no longer a surefire ticket to wealth. At the same time, small, focused teams are scaling from zero to eight-figure revenue in months. In…
Going to gundo later this month I think. Would love to meet great, crazy companies that aren’t b2b ai saas. Pls DM!
