yup, great point. the models are NOT that good! they’re not good enough to simply tell you which 100 companies to run and then run them. it’s actually all of us outside of OpenAI who have that critical potential to discover what the heck these tokens are good for anyway. and maybe they want to canabalize some of our businesses ultimately à la the Apple model. but yea the model just isn’t good enough. there still so much critical energy and action and discovery happening in all our meat brains.

“Fable 5.1 World Modeling” is an incredibly misleading title! This has very little to do with Fable and using an unexpected sense of “world model”

always curious what the license allows with these Meta research drops, seems all over the place… can this be used commercially? (specifically inference) it’s creative commons and some parts apache?

Journalism needs a WYSIWYG editor for stylized content -- content that is more visually diverse/interesting than the linear text+image+embed format, but not SO so custom/new as to truly require a developer to build it.

Averaging different economists' predictions makes sense. They each provide an x-y curve. Those curves average together in a mathematical way.

Product design ideas don't average together in this way. If one person wants to design a knife and another wants to design a spoon, and you average them together, you get a spoon with a sharp blade on one side, or maybe the blade is on the handle of the spoon, but either way, bad idea!! Or best case maybe you end up with a swiss army knife, in which case it's harder to clean, etc. Adding the knife feature sacrifices the simplicity of the spoon, which is extremely valuable.
