I posted this mainly as something to refer friends to when they complain about something being to competitive / hard to get. Thought I'd shoot it here too.

Unbelievable

It surprises me that people still believe this! I've seen AI deliver incredible value over the past year. I believe the application level is utilizing <.5% (probably less) of the total value that can be derived from current foundation models.

Great idea! Will it highlight parts where the professor says something like "this is important and will be on the exam...". All of the information on the exam (which dictates the majority of your score in the class at most US universities) must be conveyed to the student one way or the other (worksheets, lectures. etc.). A cool runoff would be an "AI Exam Prep" which guessed what would be on the exam, based on previous exams and where the info came from

> My main lesson from running a startup: don't.

I hear this a lot and I think it is good advice because the only person who should actually start a startup is the one who sees this but still does it.

Based on my very limited knowledge of how current "AI" systems work, this is the much better approach to achieving true AI. We've only modeled one small aspect of the human (the neuron) and brute forced it to work. It takes an LLM millions of examples to learn what a human can in a couple of minutes--then how are we even "close" to achieving AGI?

Should we not mimic our biology as closely as possible rather than trying to model how we __think__ it works (i.e. chain of thought, etc.). This is how neural networks got started, right? Recreate something nature has taken millions of years developing and see what happens. This stuff is so interesting.
