For now.

These are best understood as scheduled tasks for the AI instead of tasks for the user.

Yeah: the value of (good) OKRs is as a proof of work for the process of aligning teams' vectors with business objectives / each other.

This integration is way more limited and frictioned. Whereas with search Apple's fully outsourced and queries go straight to your 3rd-party default, Siri escalates to GPT only for certain queries and with one-off permissions. They seem to be calculating that their cross-app context, custom silicon, and privacy branding give them a still-worthwhile shot at winning the Assistant War. I think this is reasonable, especially if open source AI continues to keep pace with the frontier.

I think it's reasonable as an early-ish stage startup to say to a candidate that ~"eventually, with scale, there will be cool and impactful ML opportunities here" as long as you're realistic and upfront about the facts that ~"right now most of the impact is in simple but foundational analyses" and ~"there'll be some amount of fires to put out and rote work to automate".

Seems like permanent remote-optional is rapidly becoming the competitive equilibrium in tech.

As tooling improves, there is some point at which gains from expanded recruiting pool + real estate savings outweigh coordination/culture costs of remote. Beyond this it will be irrational to force physical presences (for many roles, at least) and there'll be no going back.

Approximately once per week I observe a comment on HN saying approximately "search doesn't work anymore." Why is this? Why do I only observe such complaints here?
