@karimatiyeh Smart!

[Simon Khalaf @Simonkhalaf]

100% agree. LLMs are simply not made for the real world. in @WorkWhileAI's case, they may give you a probability on an accident on the way to work, but in accident occurs, it doesn't change your course toi get to work on time. We have invested in RWMs and they are converging faster and in a more deterministic ways than LLMs.

World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li: "The world is not made of words."

"Language models have given machines an extraordinary command of concepts, vocabulary, and reasoning, but the physical world, virtual or real, runs on a different substrate."

"Where language models learn the statistical structure of text, world models learn the statistical structure of space and time: how light falls on a surface, how a garden looks from an angle no camera has captured, how objects respond to force and follow the laws of physics."

"Language gave machines a way to talk about that world. World models are how machines will finally come to understand, imagine, reason and interact with it."

Once again, Uber is ceding its position as a tech company to Waymo. It is very hard to get a tech business that touches the real world to scale, but Uber did and they need to stay tech relevant and not operate an oversized Taxi and delivery company @travisk - Ceding tech placed Uber at 20% of Waymo

Introducing Stack.

The AI operating system that lets accounting firms take on more clients without hiring. Learns your firm's process, runs the close, posts the journals. Fully auditable.

We’re living through the biggest shift in accounting since the spreadsheet.

The hottest Fintech/banking product is @CashApp Borrow. While we don't have the scale @CashApp has, we are killing it, by any loan portfolio metric! This tells you that what @owenbjennings said about the sub-prime market was 100% true. AI is not just a productivity game changer, it is an under writing and risk management game changer

It should be more. @WorkWhileAI 90% of HR and middle management jobs are done using AI Agents

🤖 “Ils ont lancé un marketing de la peur.”
Depuis San Francisco, Simon Khalaf accuse les géants de l’IA d’avoir alimenté un discours catastrophiste sur l’emploi. Pour le CEO de WorkWhile, l’intelligence artificielle va surtout transformer le travail et créer de nouveaux métiers.

Was great spending time with @JeromeColombain to share our perspective on the Luddite monsters that @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI woke up from a. Deep sleep

[Jerome Colombain | Monde Numérique @JeromeColombain]

Ils voulaient vendre l’avenir. Ils ont réveillé les luddites. Pour @Simonkhalaf (WorkWhile), le “marketing de la peur” lancé par OpenAI, Anthropic et leurs investisseurs pour valoriser un marché mondial potentiel de 50 000 milliards $ est en train de se retourner contre eux. 🎧 Interview complète 👉 https://t.co/eVTaZcUGX7
