I’ll try to answer this with an example: a minister (who I won’t name) said all British embassy bathrooms should be stocked with Molton Brown products to fly the flag 🇬🇧. Officials could have ignored the specifics of the brand but implemented the spirit of the ministerial ask: using embassies as shop windows for UK Plc - as they should be. Instead the blob didn’t like it and kicked the whole idea into the long grass. My point being: it’s true @FUDdaily that officials sometimes have to aim off a little with ministerial suggestions, and absolutely they should challenge them where there is good reason to. There is also undoubted value in stability and not change for change’s sake. But the problem is when that crosses over into outright blocking or foot dragging of ministerial directives





Chamath on how AI agents are making the "10x engineer" distinction disappear because the most efficient "code paths" are now obvious to everyone. Just as AI solved chess and removed the mystery of the best move, AI is doing the same for coding, making the process reductive and removing technical differentiation. "I'm going to say something controversial: I don't think developers anymore have good judgment. Developers get to the answer, or they don't get to the answer, and that's what agents have done. The 10x engineer used to have better judgment than the 1x engineer, but by making everybody a 10x engineer, you're taking judgment away. You're taking code paths that are now obvious and making them available to everybody. It's effectively like what happened in chess: an AI created a solver so everybody understood the most efficient path in every single spot to do the most EV-positive (expected value positive) thing. Coding is very similar in that way; you can reduce it and view it very reductively, so there is no differentiation in code." --- From @theallinpod YT channel (link in comment)


My new black & white dock. I love it!


lot of startups are trying to figure out something to do in ai, there's nothing wrong with this but i keep seeing them jump on ideas that just won't go anywhere this has always been a thing but now that you can shit out any idea everyone goes with their first thought



"Not having a coding experience is becoming an advantage." Replit CEO Amjad Masad: "You don't need any development experience. You need grit. You need to be a fast learner." "If you're a good gamer, if you can jump in a game and figure it out really quickly, you're really good at this." "Coders get lost in the details." "Product people, people who are focused on solving a problem, on making money, they're going to be focused on marketing, they're going to be focused on user interface, they're going to be focused on all the right things." "I think this year it's gonna flip, and I think not having a coding background is gonna be more advantageous for the entrepreneur." @amasad with @jackhneel
