So, this year our company did an AI generated video christmas card. It was well intended, but I must say, It felt like someone brought takeout Chinese to a family dinner. Sometimes a handwritten card is more meaningful than a gift card.

I keep hearing about AI layoffs, I'm skeptical. Don't get me wrong, what LLMs can do is amazing and they can definitely be a force multiplier.

I don't fully understand the longterm value in companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Once hardware manufactures like Apple, Meta and Microsoft are able to comfortably run a 600b+ parameter model with acceptable TPS on a local device this house of cards will come tumbling down.
