I want to revise this statement.
We have the new MAG 8:
Alphabet, Tesla, Microsoft, OpenAI, xAI, SpaceX, Netflix, Nvidia
Alphabet showed us yesterday that AI is their future. Gemini is eating Google and from everything I saw yesterday they will be successful. Tesla is leading in Physical AI. Microsoft is leading in enterprise AI AND has a huge stake in OpenAI. Sam is playing four dimensional chess. With Ive's team he will now build consumer hardware effectively becoming the new Apple. xAI is becoming a strong contender on the AI front and with X and other consumer products will give a fight. SpaceX literally has NO competition. Same with Netflix. Jensen is keeping Nvidia on top of the game.
Three of these are private companies, and OpenAI's corporate future is still in doubt with the dropped transition from non-profit to for-profit.
IMHO, Apple, Amazon, and Meta are left behind in this AI transition. Cook just cooked Apple - no innovation, no direction, just financial engineering for years. Amazon's DNA is simply not the right one for this era. They needed to make a HUGE leap of faith bet on AI and their culture simply prevented it. Meta wasted too much time and attention on AR/VR and simply don't have enough of the infrastructure to succeed into new product categories.
@EconstratPB@reallyoptimized@gregmushen Bullshit. Can't do 17K steps with 20 minute walks. Unless you are taking the dog to a park and throwing the tracker on it. 😂
@kkmaway Skills is also providing “skillz”, essentially programming using natural language. Bigger context windows means models able to take on more complex skillz. Think of this in organizational sense. line manager -> plant manager -> executive.

@EconstratPB Every company will now switch focus to driving down opex because for the first time it’s feasible to make strides there. EPS galore. Those who don’t will be killed by new entrants that are AI first companies. Get ready for the craziest decade.
@stevehou I was referring to Ben’s comments. It’s a fantastic tool that you can use to create brilliant stuff. It’s not structurally going to “average” as he says.
This is spot on. Ben Affleck’s characterization of AI very much matches my experience as an average quant coding person who uses AI day in day out. I don’t think “have something close to AGI” as impressive as Claude is. Fundamentally, “it’s just a tool”.
