I have to say I'm surprised GrubHub is so small.. I thought they were basically a clear number two

It's interesting it's not ahead of Claude on the coding benchmark right?

Incredible back story here if I can trust Gemini on this as that dates back to over 10 years ago when Musk accused Larry Page of being too obsessed with bringing about AI and hence co-founds OpenAI... the irony of course being that OpenAI raced ahead while Google has been conservative

And as a reminder to folks he's the writer of (the newer era) Westworld which if you haven't seen the full first season really turns into an incredible mind bender

I think it's intentional for balancing a demand profile rather than spiking their massive user base onto a new model all at once

Wow thank you for this.

"If our world survives, the next great challenge to watch out for will come - you heard it here first - when the curves of research and development in artificial intelligence, molecular biology and robotics all converge. Oboy. It will be amazing and unpredictable, and even the biggest of brass, let us devoutly hope, are going to be caught flat-footed. It is certainly something for all good Luddites to look forward to if, God willing, we should live so long."

I just looked it up and Thomas Pynchon remains alive.... how wonderful.

Thank you for this

Have you looked at the difference between Q1 and Q2? There's a trend change where revenues have grown materially compared with costs

You're arguing the second quarter isn't representative of what they'll be able to sustain... that their revenue isn't durable? Let's see. But it's a profitable quarter

Democratization of information. I think it's a similar jump a pre-internet search to internet search...

Amazon owns a big chunk of Anthropic. Plus they benefit from the rise of open models. They're being prudent.

I love the idea of capturing radio from a far-off place momentarily on a drive at night. This is why I miss radio. The non-deterministic component of it could introduce you to the unexpected

Maybe a naive perspective but I honestly would have thought that a larger credit market on high quality debt would actually enable a larger credit market on low quality debt. In other words the former would effectively expand money supply more reliably and therefore enable creditors to also support more speculative bets. Admittedly if there are higher ROI speculative bets to go after then maybe those just get pushed down the priority line. But I'm surprised that they're in direct competition with the high quality stuff exactly.
