One thing I love about life is meeting unstoppable innovators who are going to make a positive dent in the universe no matter what the odds. Seeing the companies of two friends dominating the news at the same time excites me to no end. Go @GillVerd! Go @parmita!

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's workshop series on data and situational awareness for medical and public health preparedness and response has been announced. The series runs three webinars this month, plus a capstone session in DC this September, and it's tackling a problem I've spent most of my career on: how you build real awareness of what's happening on the chaotic situations. I did that in a different domain, in operational intelligence situations. Things are different in crisis situations facing health care, public health, emergency management, but there are lessons that will carry well, especially when the situation is under stress and the data is noisy. I'll be bringing an intelligence tradecraft lens to the discussion. Will talk Boyd, Klein, Heuer and how their many lessons aided me in dealing with chaos. Intuitive decision-making, confidence versus certainty, analysis of competing hypotheses, indications and warning: none of it was built for public health, but it maps onto this problem better than most people expect. Worth naming, too, where the analogy breaks down. Intelligence work deals with adversaries actively hiding things and seeking to deceive. Public health mostly deals with different types of chaos, natural noise and ambiguity. But the stakes are life and death and concern us all. Different problems, related toolkits. If you work in health data, public health surveillance, emergency management, or critical infrastructure resilience, and you've got scar tissue from real incidents, the organizers want your voice in the room. Register and bring your questions and inputs. Details and registration: nationalacademies.org/projects/CHPP-… First web session 1 is July 16, 12 to 4pm ET. In person capstone session is 23 Sep.

Benchmark Scores Won't Tell You Who Is Winning the AI War. The real question is whether AI can get hard work done -- and the answer is complicated. For me, for now, it is a mashup of Claude, Claude Co-Work and OpenClaw. But every user and enterprise is different. Bottom line is is go with the architecture that can help your enterprise get things done. open.substack.com/pub/bobgourley…

Not a professor, but my under-credentialed hot take: - The "decline" narrative is a feature of every technology S-curve. We're not at the top. We're still near the bottom. - OpenAI and Anthropic and others will keep competing, and that competition will keep them innovating (declaring the race over is the oldest mistake in tech). - Innovations won't just come from model performance. The real differentiator is the architecture layer that turns model power into things that actually get done. Everyone will figure this out, and "harness" will become the word of the decade. - Google is better positioned than any other competitor to integrate AI into real enterprise workflows. - The companies that built hard infrastructure (data centers, chips, power) aren't going anywhere. Nvidia's customers are building things that will take years to complete. Demand doesn't evaporate because a pundit says margins are thinning. - Chinese AI companies will compete. They'll also hit their own walls. Assuming they win by default is as naive as assuming they lose by default. - LLMs becoming commodities is not the death of AI value. Think of cloud compute. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google didn't collapse when servers got cheap, they got richer because cheap infrastructure unlocked entirely new categories of applications. - The agentic layer is where the next fortunes get made. Not in the model itself, but in what the model can orchestrate, automate, and extend. We're barely in the first inning. - SpaceX's AI efforts will be fine. Dismissing a company with the best vertical integration in aerospace and a workforce that ships hardware on compressed timelines seems premature. - Human-AI teaming will define economic and national security outcomes over the next decade in ways that dwarf any previous technological shift. The organizations that figure this out first won't be the loudest ones on X. It is so good to be alive in the age of early stage capitalism.

Hot take on what comes next, after the sudden decline of tokenmaxxing: - OpenAI will struggle - with the decline of tokenmaxxing Anthropic will struggle (aside from this quarter) to make a profit - Google will catch up to Anthropic - some Chinese companies might, too - LLMs will become commodities; margins will be very very thin - Most of the companies that invested massively in them will struggle to make back their investments - SpaceX’s AI efforts will flail - Nvidia will eventually decline, once all of the above becomes widely recognized.

Blackhat has a Veterans Scholarship! This is a great program for active duty military who are transitioning out of service and for veterans who are pursuing a cybersecurity career. Includes pass to the business hall and some special networking opportunities. Easy to find more info. See link in reply below.

Are you tired of just listening to others tell you what AI will bring us in the future? The loudest voices are the doomers, who seem to think our only choice is to all die sooner or, if we do things their way, maybe we can all die later. What if there were a way for you to run your own scenarios based on your own inputs? I built a dashboard that will let you do just that. For me, every scenario I run says the future is going to be bright, but some choices make it brighter than others. But try it yourself and form your own opinions. open.substack.com/pub/bobgourley…

I love @pmarca even more now. He is not just a great business leader and innovator but a great explainer. Really nailed his description of the @OODA Loop, as well as why John Boyd is perhaps the greatest military, business and political strategist that ever lived.
a16z@a16z

"Speed wins." "You have to be willing to commit to being fast. You can't have long bureaucratic processes. You can't have a risk-averse posture." @pmarca explains the OODA loop — and why the fastest operator controls the narrative in business, media, and politics: "There's a framework called the OODA loop, originally developed for fighter pilots and later for broader military strategy." "It stands for observe, orient, decide, act. It's basically the decision-making cycle." "If speed is the thing that matters, then the person who gets through that cycle the fastest is the one who's going to win." "If you can have a sustainably faster OODA loop processing cycle than the next guy — think about what happens… You operate and make a decision within an hour. The other guy is still inside his own OODA loop when you make your decision. He's only halfway through his process and now has to start over. You've changed the parameters of what's going on." "This is also a big explanation for what's happened in traditional media." "The New York Times has its own OODA loop, and it's like 24 hours to go through its process."
