@bmay Well, I could have taught him more than that for half the price. If only he had called me, I would have saved him $40B.

They spent 80 billion on the Metaverse nobody wants to live in and have now closed it down. The Dubai of the internet. A good excuse to remember this cringe.

So I am sort of newish to Grok. I have been using it for brainstorming in place of ChatGPT, mostly while I am driving. It seems a bit more creative, and that is important to me, but sometimes it talks too much, and it is annoying when it gets going on a long tirade that is off topic. I have been using it more and more - I would say it is likely I cancel ChatGPT in favor of Grok in the next few months.

When autonomy increases, governance has to increase with it. Physics doesn’t bend for startups or enterprises.

@lateinteraction It reeks of desperation. But they are trying to make us cover the cost. Lots of under market value opportunities all around. It won't last much longer. The problems are just beginning to surface.

@pmddomingos I don't know if it is free association, but most frequently connected is not reasoning. It is shooting from the hip.

Reasoning is the opposite of free association. LLMs try to do the former with the latter. It can't work.

US farmers are rejecting $33 to $80 million offers for their land from data center companies. The tension between AI and land is real.

@elonmusk about time you put those GPUs to work. Are one of those going to be a coding agent?

Autonomous agents are like interns. Great with guardrails. Chaos without them.

Agree. I wouldn't measure productivity in lines of code. But I would measure it in features shipped, and you can ship more if you use agents. They don't just help with code generation. They help with research, prototyping, iteration and testing. As far as coding, I find working with agents is similar to working with a largely junior team. You know the output will be questionable so you need to put more systems in place to capture errors. I think the problem is people are trying to get the productivity gains without adjusting the control environment. And that is how errors are materializing as production failures.

@benCBai @pmarca If errors increased then you didn't increase productivity - you increased output. This is what happens when non-engineers try to measure the activity of engineers. Productivity !== Lines of code.

@elonmusk @OwenSparks It was also the only hope for the future of that company. I would say Microsoft would buy them out, but they will have their own models. OpenAI certainly looks like a house of cards that will blow over with the next gentle breeze.
