As things progress - the ability of LLMs to assess truth (if they can🤔) or more importantly how they assess the truth of something will become more and more important.
Amara’s law: We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run. Does Amara’s law still apply when it comes to A.I. … I wonder 🤔

Those are the teams that will endure. That will prevail, that will overcome! Because they are on a mission and not just along for the ride!
It is so, so important!
PS. It applies to life as well 😬
A great quality to have as a startup founder and what we look for in the teams we work with - is when things get difficult, when chaos and hard times hit (and they will), that is when you are just getting started! You don’t run and hide, you don’t give up or look….
Decision making - a balancing act between the highly knowable and the highly unknowable.
Great decision making managing what you don’t know to the best of your abilities.
We’ve found as AIs get smarter, they develop their own coherent value systems.
For example they value lives in Pakistan > India > China > US
These are not just random biases, but internally consistent values that shape their behavior, with many implications for AI alignment. 🧵
@HarryStebbings Well said! Couldn’t agree more! Comparison is the thief of joy. I would also add there seems to be a need, almost an urge for quick “success”. Run your race, but more often than not - it’s going to be a marathon not a 100m sprint.
@StartupArchive_ Showing them the vision, bringing the product to life - even if it’s just a mvp/prototype - brings the vision to life, makes it real. It’s not something distant anymore, unattainable.
