Another way to think of this is you just ship the UI DSL, and the user can get the app to customize it themselves with built-in guardrails. Everything should be LCARS at this point.

Yeah, I think there's a tendency to underestimate how much demand is still gated behind cost constraints. The market for this is HUGE.

The PC era, call it 1975-2005, was one of the greatest wealth creation events in history, was characterized by the cost of the underlying commodity dropping mercilessly for the whole time. Each time it did, the space of problem you could solve with a PC would increase, to the point that by the end, they were both replacing mainframes and powering users who do nothing but chat and post cat pictures.

Could there be a correction in the short run? Quite possibly. I think an underestimated last mile problem is just the massive weight of bureaucracy and human process inertia. But in the long run, cheap, efficient intelligence is a new engineering capability that we've just begun to even explore.

I wonder how that stacks up if you consider all the time you have to keep the body alive when it’s not actively producing “tokens”.

Sure seems like OAI is using their compute/capital advantage to dump. Seems improbable they're making a profit at those levels.

Looking forward to their first album dropping.

This is a great article, but I think it’s hard to ignore that Japan’s culture of harmony is a big part of why they were able to choose sensible regulations that benefitted everyone. We struggle to pass even the most sensible land use reforms because entrenched interests want to remain entrenched even if it hurts the system overall.

Yeah. I think most orgs have no idea what they are missing.

I gave a lot of shit about my employees the first time I was a manager. It burned me out, but it made for an amazing team.

I don’t mean specific features, I mean specific verticals. I.e. one app that nails a specific type of business and replaces a dozen disconnected tools.

100%. Saas isn’t going away, but the economics are changing drastically and that’s bad for one-size-fits-all tools, and excellent for niche solutions. But it’s still saas, just more specific.

Even if you power a typical EV from 100% coal, it pencils out as about equivalent to a late model Prius. And any improvements in the energy mix take it further.

Ironically, Russia probing defenses in Europe is functioning like Chaos Monkey — revealing vulnerabilities and triggering hardening.

Either scientist or chef

That is more or less what BAML does

BeOS was so amazing; I ran it for a while on x86 hardware. Ahead of its time. But I always loved NeXT. (I'd go down to the local university computer store to drool over them. The staff all knew me by name.) And now, I carry one around with me everywhere I go. Living in the future...
