Can you say more about this? Do you think those tender feelings towards Google track some strain of values which Google still carries? Or does this statement reflect some fear of retaliation or conflict that would drown out the rest of your message?

Genuinely interested in how you think about this, especially in the context of this new book’s topic. Thank you for this AMA.

Looking back, I’m still pretty amazed they got so much of it right. Which is to say, a good chunk of the value wasn’t in the value of YouTube itself but in what Google brought to the table _or_ a synergy between the two.

Knit Health is building a clinical foundation model to improve how healthcare is delivered. We combine AI systems engineering with clinical domain expertise to develop reliable models and workflows that can be integrated into provider environments. Knit is venture-backed and led by a team with UC Berkeley, Stanford, and UCSF research roots. We work with multiple large US health systems and data partners.

We are looking for AI/ML Engineers to contribute to foundation models (1+ years experience, SF only), Senior Data Scientists (5+ years), and Product Engineers (3+ years). Join a tight-knit team where you’ll shape the technical direction of our models and drive the evolution of a product suite that improves patient health outcomes at scale.

I’d respond the same way to your hamburger vs. steak analogy. Sure, sometimes the LLM gives us a fine burger and not a steak, and it’s best for us to have the right attitude in that case.

But if LLM’s can produce “steaks” (that is, whatever talented humans do) in the imminent future, that has _enormous practical impact_.

Where is the line between recapitulation and innovation? Is it a line that we think current LLMs are definitely not crossing, and definitely will not cross in the near future? If so, make that argument.

There’s much more honor in being right for the right reason than for a wrong one.

I’m quite surprised at this guess and intrigued by your school’s methodology. I would have estimated >30 problems average across 20 weeks for myself.

My kids are still in pre-algebra, but they get way more drilling still, well over 1000 problems per semester once Zern, IReady, etc. are factored in. I believe it’s too much, but it does seem like the typical approach here in California.
