This is email daily volume growth cut by A2P and P2P. The same will happen to code. Machines will write 97% of the code very soon, but human written code will also explode

@illscience exactly. the low-cost entry points also have the key side-effect of neutralizing the cost-based incentives for routing / multi-homing

The bull case and rational strategy for labs is a full suite of models across the Pareto frontier plus high switching costs via harness / memory / traditional enterprise integrations. Expect to see more of this, along with specialized enterprise products purpose-built for emerging model capabilities.

Nine of my first 10 IPOs as a venture investor each raised between $75m and $125m from the public market at a market cap of $250m to 400m. Now we call that a Series A.

Catching skin cancer early is a home robotics problem. Melanoma is highly treatable when detected early, yet today’s screening process depends heavily on patients noticing tiny changes across their entire skin surface. This requires patients to solve a near-impossible visual-memory and registration problem. I built OpenDerm, an open-source 4-DOF robot that captures high-resolution images of the skin and uses them to reconstruct and track the skin surface in 3D over time. The best way to make skin screening truly routine is to bring it into the home. OpenDerm shows that inexpensive robotic skin imaging is possible, but the path to scale is not a dedicated screening robot in every household—it is to make skin screening one of the many useful things a general-purpose home robot can do. Read more about why I built OpenDerm and how it works here: Blog: marionlepert.github.io/blog/openderm-… Project: openderm.github.io

On 2001 earnings calls, Global Crossing leadership assured investors that Internet traffic was expanding so fast that buying, and reselling connectivity and fiber capacity was a guaranteed growth engine. They claimed that the market was large enough that they could repeatedly buy and swap network capacity and sell connectivity to end users and other carriers at prices higher than their cost basis. A year later, they filed for bankruptcy. @joshelman can you tell them?

@Simonkhalaf There's only so much bandwidth a house needs (2 or 3 4k streams?). No end in site for tokens. Unless inference moves local, its good be in the inference as a service business.

When asked during a 2001 interview about the emerging fiber/bandwidth glut and crashing bandwidth prices across the industry, the CEO of Exodus argued that falling prices actually helped Exodus's bottom line rather than hurting it: "Each time that we go to acquire more bandwidth, we're finding that this year's prices are less than last year's prices—and that they're very competitive with one another." a year later, they filed for bankrupcy

@Simonkhalaf I sold my Quest 3 last week... Honestly it's so strange how the UX has got progressively worse in the past years
