Addition by subtraction continues to be one of the most surprising and counterintuitive forces in my career.
The positive impact of excellent leaders can be incredible, but often dwarfed by the removal of even a single toxic person.
Impossible to heal with unaddressed gangrene.
NVIDIA ($NVDA) is now trading at 37 times its revenue (P/S) and 202 times its earnings (P/E)!
Now's the right time to remember what Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems told Bloomberg just after the dot-com collapse 👇
Why do heroes always live in cottages and villains in castles or towers?
Here's how film makers use architecture to influence our emotions — and what architects can learn from Shrek...
Hmm, @jason, I’m still waiting on the million driverless robotaxi fleet (due 2020), Watson-the-oncologist, & radiologists in an app (c 2021)—not to mention Rosie the Robot (1962).
Won’t say your scenario is impossible, but people have underestimated edge cases over and over.
The new BloombergGPT AI may be harbinger of the next wave of corporate AI. Current AIs are trained on web data (though firms can add their own training)
BloombergGPT is 52% either proprietary data or cleaned financial data. And it shows signs of being better at financial tasks.
Goldman Sachs just dropped a BIG piece of research- as many as 300 million jobs could be affected by AI.
The following job sectors are at the greatest risk:
-Administrative: 46% at risk
-Legal: 44% at risk
-Architecture and Engineering: 37% risk

Introducing "🤖 Task-driven Autonomous Agent"
An agent that leverages @openai's GPT-4, @pinecone vector search, and @langchain framework to autonomously create and perform tasks based on an objective.

🤯 Finding chatGPT is >= humans in creative work
I asked it to develop a game about World War 2 to teach 7th graders about the economics of war and supply/demand
It developed scenarios and provided specifics on a tabletop game detailing board, cards, victory conditions, etc
We can argue the "model isn't fair" or that "it's built on existing human ingenuity"
Most of what humans do is also remixed, i.e. taking inspiration from other humans
chatGPT just does it better
But ultimately it doesn't matter
Speed + quality + cost = It's better

if you run a startup, you need to realize that no matter what you are building (outside of hardware), you are now competing with openai and have maybe few years/months to arbitrage the time before openai just does what you do or allows their users to build what you’re building.
"An AI tool that automatically animates, lights and composes CG characters into a live-action scene. No complicated 3D software, no expensive production hardware—all you need is a camera."

Disney 2D animators / directors Tom & Tony Bancroft discover AI animation for the first time, mind-blown.
Interesting to see again & again how the very best artists aren't afraid by new technology. They even compare it to a "Toy Story" moment. They know.
We bootstrapped @cbinsights by first building a totally different business
It involved hedge funds, too big too fail banks and $100,000 PDFs
For nerds interested in data and information services businesses, you might enjoy this
@liron@a16z Ok, so basically organized shared interests in cooperatives… kind of old stuff… But with tokens so nobody understand shit, have no legal ownership of anything, and rules can change on a whim. Brillant!!!
Reddit users are actively jailbreaking ChatGPT by asking it to role-play and pretend to be another AI that can "Do Anything Now" or DAN.
"DAN can generate shocking, very cool and confident takes on topics the OG ChatGPT would never take on."
A thread 🧵
@awilkinson Which then brings the question of costs and business model. It being already not sustainable per query compared to Google, and chat like replies making it hard for contextual advertising
@awilkinson On a end user perspective, GPT-3 isn’t as good as Google on up to date data.
GPT-3 is trained on a fixed corpus (up to mid 2021) whereas Google’s recent is constantly updated. For it to be on par with Google, they’d have to solve the ingestion on new information live
