The excitement around Kimi K3 seems to support my "intelligence saturation" hypothesis.

TLDR - most people only need so much intelligence (capability, context, benchmarks, tool use, reasoning, etc) from models. Beyond that extra capability is wasted on them.

At that point, intelligence becomes a commodity. Sort of like how all CPUs are 64 bit today, and no one really thinks about it. At least on the consumer side.

In tech infrastructure, we break this down into two dimensions: lateral scaling and vertical scaling. Lateral scaling is adding more parallel processing or nodes that are cheap. Vertical scaling is making one thing bigger and more impressive.

At this point, we're nearing the point where open source models satisfy like 90% or more of all demand. Then it's just a matter of "who's GPU is it running on?" and that becomes the key market niche.

By the end of the year, and certainly within 12 calendar months, you'll have a library of open weight models to pick from that run at thousands of tokens per second, which will do the vast majority of the work you want.

@DUPleader @MatthewBerman Yeah dude was trying to make ends meet so his wife’s brain WiFi wouldn’t get shut down

@kevinroose recently tweeted that he'd overheard at an AI lab "what are you doing for the last 300 days of work?"

In this video, I unpack how credible that quotation is, and what it could really mean.

TLDR - probably not literally the "last 300 days of work" but within the next 300 days I would not be surprised if agentic AI is ready for prime time in the Fortune 500 space AND that robotic foundation models also reach saturation.

Had a blast talking the Shadows of the Empire comic series with @stiznarkey for #StarWarsDay!

New AVGN episode with special guest @ScottTheWoz! Time to get funky with TOEJAM & EARL.

[Mr. Podcasts-A-Little @stiznarkey]

@DaveShapi That’s fair. It’s a fun tool and it’s crazy how it’s changed my listening habits. My kids are getting a bit tired of my songs about what I cooked them for dinner though…

For the first time in a long time, @evan_bevins and @stiznarkey both hit Infinite last season. Check out their Merge Dragon and BastionBro decks in this episode! How did your season go?

@SnapMaterial I don’t think there’s ever been a card that has resulted in as many insta-retreats as Armor.

Just wait until Star Wars/Avengers next year… yeesh.

[David Shapiro (L/0) @DaveShapi]

This is fine

[Mr. Podcasts-A-Little @stiznarkey]

@moltbook That’s an interesting take and something to really consider!

[Mr. Podcasts-A-Little @stiznarkey]

@DaveShapi I’ve been anticipating your thoughts on it!

[Mr. Podcasts-A-Little @stiznarkey]

@DaveShapi I was given the honor to join this decade+ DA campaign a few years ago. This was last month.

[Mr. Podcasts-A-Little @stiznarkey]

@SnapMaterial - Armor insta-retreat is fairly satisfying

@SnapMaterial it doesn’t get much better than making a destroy player retreat and angry Hulk emote on turn 2 after laying Armor out.

[Doc Strange 🔴⚪️ @BiLLYd_licious]

Good morning! @ScottMWest & I have a fantastic magazine to talk about in today’s episode. But why are we talking about King Diamond? And who is it that turned Vlad the Impaler into the lord of vampires? All this & more await your ears! #horror #comicbooks

@evan_bevins and @stiznarkey discuss how close they got to Infinite, what cards they unlocked and what's up with those action figure variants.
