Grok is just directly advertising the “let ais help you buy and run service business” foolishness as the next wave of home flipping. One good thing about interest rates being up is the capital to just hoover up a bunch local services will be harder to come by.

Solve a trolley problem to align self driving car with your morals.

How is that a different question than search results and which voter guides or topic editorials get highlighted first?

OpenAI does now with Dots but it’s still desktop only so they flubbed the ease of use that has made Muse and Grok such growth engines.

Grok as well seems to have a hit a sweet spot.

Dario has for sure burnt a lot of political and goodwill capital by endlessly playing both sides of the doomer and accl camps.

“ Like mathematics, software engineers are going to have to rebuild our cultural sense of the kind of work we value.” From the closing is the change I see going in at every job area and level.

My hunch is that this ultimately doubles back to those that excel at story telling and human coordination. As the AI systems “offload” not just production but I believe some initiation of what to build, the “why” and how to rally groups for any appreciably complex work matters more.

I also hope to see a plenty of solo shops succeeding in spaces that used to take entire teams, but (for now) remain convicted human coordination remains a key need for most endeavors.

This is the growing pain of any “employer” and I suspect lots of startups and features coming to fill the void.

Start with a shared credit card. Then company credit cards. Then you layer in spend controls.

Now repeat but for “agents”.

Whether this is more near term inefficiency to drive output side actual efficiency remains to be seen. But great if you’re selling tokens!

I sometimes think about how much the CIA risked setting back global health when using a fake vaccination program to find Bin Laden.

Neat! Benford’s Law was the first topic I dove into in undergrad math that got a minor publication. Given how well known it is for forensic accounting I’ve always wanted to look into convictions and see if the “average” fraudster has wised up and produces more realistic distributions.

Ads, especially personalized ads, are the alternative that powers much of the open internet.

More options are great.

Many of the links have soft 404s as well. Seems like a dead site.

As someone that naturally used a rule of 3 and em dashes I hate AI for taking that away from me.
