@mcuban Wouldn’t you have a similar experience with employees who may give you differing answers based on their knowledge and experience and view of things? Enterprise AI is trying to augment or replace human workflows not software workflows.

I’m coming to the conclusion that the biggest challenge for Enterprise AI, and AI in general , as of now, is that it’s still impossible to make sure that everyone gets the same answer to the same question, every time. Which is a great response to the doomers. AI doesn’t know the consequences of its output. Judgement and the ability to challenge AI output is becoming increasingly necessary, and valuable. Which makes domain knowledge more valuable by the second. Am I wrong ?

my ideal man: -loyal -has a job -has friends -knows every ai bottleneck so he can explain them to me

everyone is building but who is using

@akashlives Louder!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

@rabib_ai Distillation, unit economics of AI, affordances of AI, and distribution. For pure app players, I don't know how consumer apps will survive when Apple and Google are fully AI-native with their offerings.

SF tech bubble so strong that people do not understand the power of distribution and overestimate the demand for the best and greatest of models. Hasan from a rural village in Bangladesh does not care whether he gets opus 4.7 or just an AI that tells him how to make a mean lemonade - fast! Not everyone is a tokenmaxxer coder or ever will be. Don’t let the bubble have you believe the rest of the world and its user profiles are the same as your fellow tech bro.

@Loose_Alpha @chamath Anthropic and OpenAI have been immensely compute constrained. May I understand how you think they’ve been well along the curve compared to others in the race? They are all getting capacity via external partnerships thru hyper scalers - so there’s a huge dependency chain.

@rabib_ai @chamath I agree with that, but that’s not the same as saying models are commoditized. They clearly are not. Would also argue that the leading models are already well along the curve of vertical integration

The model layer is getting commoditized, and I think the big players already realize this. There’s been a 1,500x price drop in inference costs in 6 years per @chamath ‘s latest deep dive: @chamath/note/p-196073325?r=1g12s3&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@chamath/note/… The take-away: the key value drivers sit either above it (agents, execution, apps) and below it (chips, energy, critical minerals). Whoever is able to vertically integrate across the stack the fastest - will ultimately dominate the AI race.

@Loose_Alpha @chamath I think you missed the entire point. Frontier models that are “leading” now will not have a strong moat if they don’t move fast enough on other fronts: integrated layers of the AI infrastructure.

@rabib_ai @chamath the model layer is not getting commoditized. Lagging models are

@GTU45WUHIycvDn1 Ssup?

@rabib_ai May I ask you a question?

“Oh you’re not on Facebook? I guess you’re not as cool as us!” In 2007, I didn’t have internet at home (or Facebook) — today I help build infrastructure powering billions of users at Meta. Trigger warning: this is a self-gloating post before you decide to indulge 😛 The year is 2007, I was in grade 7, and my classmate at the time was dead serious (or at least it seemed like he was) when he mentioned this to me as a response to the question “what is this writing on someone’s wall you guys are talking about??” Frankly speaking, at the time, I felt quite left out. I wondered if I indeed was not as cool for not knowing about what “the Facebook” was. So, the first thing I did when I went back home was beg my parents for the 50th time to get us a home internet connection, and for the 50th time, that request was denied. For the next 3 years, we continued to never see the light of internet at home till one day, I finally convinced my parents that I desperately need it so I can apply for scholarships, universities, write my SATs, etc. So - that’s how and when I got to explore “the Facebook”, and boy was I amused, and awestruck by the sheer scale of it. My naive self wondered how this gigantic machine was run. Who are sitting behind all this? How do they scale this to serve hundreds of millions of users? Would I ever be able to work there someday? Oh cmon don’t be stupid. You’re in Bangladesh and literally got internet access today. dream within your limits, Rabib. Well, it took almost 20 years, and as of today I’m spending my first year anniversary working at Meta (or formerly known as Facebook inc). I bet my 12 year old self would’ve have been elated had he been able to predict the future. At least he would’ve had a damn good response to his classmate for thinking he’s not as cool as them for not having an account ;) The year in a nutshell: I experienced scale like I would’ve not believed was possible had I not been in the middle of it. I moved very fast, broke things along the way sometimes, got rewarded for it (promo in just 7 months!), trusted with more responsibility, presented strategies to senior leadership, the list goes on. None of this would’ve been possible without the trust of my colleagues and mentors and I can’t help feel the excitement the future will bring. Thank you Vignesh Vijayanath for your trust from day 0, Lawrence Gowin for being my go-to person, Carmen Au for helping me with so many growth oriented conversations, and Asim Taher for your help with interviews when I first put my name in the hat over a year ago. If any of my Tesla colleagues are reading this - thanks to you folks too for all the feedback, growth, and opportunities you folks had provided me with. Lessons I’ll take wherever I go.

@zuess05 One know what questions to ask and what commands to provide way better than the other, so one ends up having a much higher productivity per token ratio. In a future where token vs salary may become a question, it will be imperative you optimize that with seniors

I am actually curious. If junior devs are using Claude to write code at a senior level... And senior devs are using Claude to write code at a senior level... What exactly is the difference between the two roles right now, other than a $100k gap in salary?

@akashlives True, but it brings back 2022 December ChatGPT launch feels. Truly hard to replicate such an inflection point. It’s more emotional than logical :)

At what point we start calling Language Models , Multimodal or Vision Language Models. I feel its criminal to still call them LLM.

Way to represent 🇧🇩 @dibyayB !! Proud of you man

Just listened to Zuck’s earnings call today, and it was really cool to hear him directly call out the work my team and I are part of. “We’re rolling out more than 1GW of our own custom silicon that we’re developing with Broadcom, as well as significant amounts of AMD chips to complement the new Nvidia systems we’re deploying. One of the primary goals of our Meta Compute initiative is to lead the industry in the efficiency of building compute, and we expect that will be a strategic advantage over time.” It’s not often in your career that you get to be at the crux of such world-changing technology—so this is really exciting stuff. Threw in a couple of links below if you’re interested in learning more about what we’re doing in our custom silicon space (MTIA), as well as our partnership and collaboration with AMD: MTIA: ai.meta.com/blog/meta-mtia… Meta-AMD partnership: about.fb.com/news/2026/02/m…

Thank you for getting back to me. It doesn’t make sense that only after 10 mins of charging there would be a charge of $15 per hour. The funny thing is that this charge never actually gets applied. If you’re saying these rules are set by the local station owners there should be some sort of guardrails in place that these confusing messages don’t come to users because at the end of the day, it is carrying chargepoint’s banner all over the email. There’s also no way of knowing who the station owner is btw and why they sent that automated email I’ll send examples of other such issues in a bit. Overall - probably one of the worst digital platforms I have to use on a day to day basis

Hello Rabib, We understand and if you could help us with additional details (screenshot of the error) about the issue you have faced with the payment portal, it will be helpful for us to investigate and get back to you with details. Also, the email you have received is for the station time rate change notification and it is a pricing component that covers duration and occupancy during a charging session. Rates can differ based on whether the vehicle is While Charging versus While Not Charging (overstay). You can discuss the difference in the rate with the station owner to get details on the station time rate. Regards, CHargePoint

@ChargePointnet you folks have a terrible user experience. It’s extremely difficult to choose which sites I’m eligible for from my charging station, the payment portal has numerous glitches, and there’s been times I have randomly not been able to use your stations without clear information as to why. Unfortunately I have to use your product as a meta employee at our sites but I wish that wasn’t the case. Now that I’m tied to it, I sincerely hope you all can fix things.

Just further proving my point, received this email without clear reasoning as to why I’m going to be charged this arbitrary big amount

@naval Bro the website crashed when I tried signing up!

Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone. No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum. Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too. Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund. It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital. And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee. — Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital. Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring. But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line. This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in. Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition. But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital. USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages. It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere. There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction. USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid. Get access here: usvc.com

@elonmusk @Tesla_AI Having firsthand worked on chip bring up at meta, I know this is no easy feat. Congrats to the folks for designing workload custom chips in house now. Hopefully the bring up and qual complete goes smoothly!

Congrats to the @Tesla_AI chip design team on taping out AI5! AI6, Dojo3 & other exciting chips in work.

@Jason @ZohranKMamdani Hey Jason, that’s a mid take. Why are you projecting this policy to be a tax spiral precursor? Will people who have $4M vacant homes actually sell these? Even if they do, you’re expecting NYC real estate demand to not be able to absorb that?

[ The Overtaxation Death Spiral ] Ken Griffin, time to sell all your New York properties! @ZohranKMamdani, congrats on driving countless affluent people out of NYC. What will happen when the Zohran runs out of $5m+ homes to EXTRA TAX? He will tax everyone with a $2M+ home.... and then he will take everyone with over $4,000 in monthly rent... ... it will not end. This is the overtaxation death spiral!
