Does it matter?

An example from last night. If I Google “how much is 7KwH”, I get a list of calculator websites for converting units.

If I ask an LLM, it tells me “your usage is pretty low for an apartment, good job!”

The latter is exactly the question I had in mind. Not even close.

> But would it have improved my comprehension? The research says no.

I don’t know, I find myself doing things I would’ve never done before AI.

I find myself doing more projects outside of work.

I discover new problem domains and are less afraid of tackling the unknown.

I code in languages I don’t know and start learning how they work.

I can get anything explained to me, at any time, in a somewhat coherent manner, by a tutor that won’t get tired or annoyed.

Look— I’m not exactly thinking AI is free of criticism, but it’s definitely a revolution in access to information and at least to me that’s a big deal.

My impression is they're being cancelled in favor of full internal adoption of Copilot CLI, which has got much better over the past few months.

AM is critical for emergency scenarios. When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, all our infrastructure was completely devastated.

The only way to receive news or bulletins for weeks was just one remaining AM radio station that kept broadcasting even as the storm hit and their building began to flood.

Why is Ramp even building a sheets product? That's the question zero that popped up to my head.

> Have the courage to go slowly, especially when everyone else is telling you that you need to go fast and cut corners.

I've been struggling to figure out what "slower" would look like when working in industry. If everyone's working 2x faster, how do you slow down meaningfully without getting axed?

This is beautiful product design.

I will say, I do wish there was a conversation list when looking at folders--having conversations listed on the sidebar can get a bit busy.

Zipped up tightly? This has been all over mainstream news outlets, social media, everywhere.

We are commenting on a submission linked to the New York Times.

No shade, I think it looks cool and will likely use it, but next time maybe disclose that you’re the founder?
