Anthropic is one of the few companies that will likely hit an infinite valuation if they succeed in their mission.

Unfortunately, there is almost no point buying this when the MacBook Neo exists, and runs a full-fledged operating system rather than ChromeOS or Gemini or whatever it is they’re calling it.

I have personally witnessed AI capabilities that would be considered “impossible” by current public standards.

The next 2-3 years are going to be incredibly interesting.

AGI doesn’t need to be “solved” for humanoid robots to be valuable at scale. The role of teleoperation is often underestimated; in the near term, many humanoids will likely be operated remotely by people halfway across the world, performing deliveries and other tasks cheaply.

This is a real risk. I know of someone who got phished with a fake number for Apple Support (the fake number was promoted and appeared at the top of the search results). Apparently they do this with banking phone numbers as well.

Spotify needs to embrace a user-centric payment model (where a portion of your subscription fee goes directly toward artists you listen to the most) rather than the current “pooled” system which massively favors large artists.

YouTube, for instance splits 55% of its YouTube Premium subscription revenue with creators, who get paid based on their share of watch time. Your YouTube Premium fee is distributed to the creators you view the most.

University research grants that have the word "mRNA" present are currently being flagged and frozen, even though mRNA technology has been used for things like cancer vaccine research for years. Politicizing a technology is incredibly absurd and will have long-term repercussions on science & medicine.

I know of a professor at one university that had grants frozen due to being flagged as "woke" gender discourse. His lab researches...(wait for it)... immunotherapy treatments for breast cancer in women.

There are a lot of "interesting" emergent behaviors that happen just a result of scaling.

Kind of like how a single neuron doesn't do much, but connect 100 billion of them and well...

I own a Tesla, and here's my take on the biggest software issue:

Normal consumers don't understand the difference between "Autopilot" and "FSD".

FSD will stop at intersections/lights etc - Autopilot is basically just cruise control and should generally only be used on highways.

They're activated in the same manner (FSD replaces Autopilot if you pay for the upgrade or $99/month subscription), and again for "normal" consumers it's not always entirely clear.

A friend of mine rented a Tesla recently and was in for a surprise when the vehicle did not automatically stop at intersections on Autopilot. He said the previous one he rented had FSD enabled, and he didn't understand the difference.

IMO Tesla just needs to phase out 2019 AP entirely and just give everyone some version of FSD (even if it's limited), or geofence AP to highways only.

I wonder if this is related to the capacity/uptime issues Anthropic has had lately. I got quite a lot of errors last week!

Hopefully they sort it out and increase limits soon. Claude Code has been a game-changer for me and has quickly become a staple of my daily workflows.

LinkedIn is probably the worst culprit. It has always been a wasteland of “corporate/professional slop”, except now the interface deliberately suggests AI-generated responses to posts. I genuinely cannot think of a worse “social network” than that hell hole.

“Very insightful! Truly a masterclass in turning everyday professional rituals into transformative personal branding opportunities. Your ability to synergize authenticity, thought leadership, and self-congratulation is unparalleled.”

I believe we will see integrated optical glucose sensors in a popular consumer wearable fairly soon.

I don't think they'll be as accurate as blood sensors, however they will be a game-changer for many people (pre-diabetics, or gestational diabetes etc).

As someone who has been at a company where for various reasons, we decided to "roll our own auth", I would have to disagree here. Don't reinvent the wheel if you can avoid doing so.

I mostly agree with you. I use both FSD on my Tesla & Waymo regularly (LA region), and Waymo just feels way safer in comparison. While FSD has improved significantly the last few iterations, I have seen it do "strange" things often enough that I don't feel safe just sitting in the backseat like I would with a Waymo.

Even if it's hypothetically 99% as good as Waymo at the moment, 99% is not good "enough" when it comes to something as critical as driving.
