Benchmarks aren’t broken, the models can learn anything. If we give them true real world data (physics engine), they will learn the real world. We are going to see artificial general intelligence in our lifetime

I’m suspicious about n8n being able to abstract properly to allow for dynamic agentic workflows. Anyone have actual experience?

Once the business hits a certain level of revenue, the mvp is finished etc, whoever is the face of the company, I.e. CEO has way more power. CTO if they have shipped a complete product that’s getting paying customers can be replaced with an engineering manager. But not before

Getting the product to some level of completion is a monumental lift

Honestly, o3 has completely blown my mind in terms of ability to come up with useful abstractions beyond what I would normally build. Most people claiming LLMs are limited just arent using the tools enough, and cant see the trajectory of increasing ability

Living in NYC, I have been around a TON of venture backed startups with the classic non technical CEO, technical CTO. Some HUGE percentage of startups see the CTO fired once the tech stack and revenue are stabilized.

The incentive from the CEOs perspective to remove a contender as well as claw back the equity is huge. Early stage the CTO is the most critical, but after real traction they can be replaced far easier than most want to admit.

My advice for technical founders is to always place themselves first, from a legal and organizational perspective. For a technical founder with social skills, a non technical founder brings very little value relative to their vesting in the early stage.

Calling everything a bubble is low iq. People that cannot understand society, or accept change, run with the bubble narrative at every turn

I’m pretty sure as you get older your emotions are more blunted, and you don’t form the same level of bond as you would with someone when you’re 22

I can guarantee you, nothing is simple about S3. I bet engineers spend months on a single configuration change to the underlying subsystems.

Engineers at ai labs just come from prestigious schools and don’t have technical depth. They are smart, but they simply aren’t qualified to do deep technical innovation
