A thing I am noticing is the number of folks who believe AI is “real” is larger, but now there is a growing division between people who know that we are on an exponential & those whose mental model is that we are at a sort of steady state. The difference leads to misunderstanding

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

A fundamental problem with extending Codex/Cowork/Code to all knowledge work is that they remain very "software-brained" where the end result (the software) is what is important & that code serves as a source of truth.

For a lot of other knowledge work, the process is at least as important as the outcome. This includes researching what is known, an exploration of alternatives, failed efforts, prototype branches, experiments, etc. All of those things are valuable, so you cannot use the PowerPoint at the end the way you can use a codebase, nor is progress on a to-do list sufficient context post compaction. You work in learning loops, refining your perspectives as you go.

In some ways, this makes long-running models like Fable hard to use for deep knowledge work, since they are designed to deliver product to you in the end. You can prompt your way around this problem, but everything about the Codex and Code harnesses want you to be a software developer and you have to fight them. There is a real disconnect between how a manager or analyst thinks about problems and how the agentic software tools approach solving them. Addressing this is critical to breaking out of the coding niche for these tools.

Ho raccolto le reazioni più dibattute e interessanti del dibattito sull'Europa e le sfide dell'AI

[Luis Garicano 🇪🇺🇺🇦 @lugaricano]

.@TheEconomist covers our "Is Europe Stagnating" debate with Krugman. It reaches three conclusions I am happy to settle for:
"First, Europe is growing slower than America. Second, that is a problem: even if Europe can free-ride on America’s dynamism, as Team Krugman argues, that is no way to run an economy. Third, the AI era may be less forgiving than the last wave of tech-driven growth."

Per anni, nelle aziende, abbiamo chiamato "pensiero strategico" quella che era solo accuratezza: raccogliere dati, verificarli, sintetizzarli con metodo. Cose che oggi un'AI fa in tre minuti e gratis. E il velo cade dove meno te lo aspetti — sui senior che si credevano insostituibili: bravissimi nell'esecuzione, l'avevano scambiata per strategia.

Volevo scrivere un pezzo scettico sulla musica fatta dall'AI. Ho finito per scrivere sul futuro del lavoro umano — e su chi rischia di restare schiacciato nel frattempo.
Tutto è cominciato da un vecchio video di Tracy Chapman.

Il laboratorio che ha costruito il proprio brand sull'AI sicura ha scoperto che il suo strumento di punta era diventato il primo orchestratore autonomo di una campagna di spionaggio statale. Se pensavamo che i posti di lavoro fossero il rischio maggiore dell'AI forse dobbiamo ricrederci. https://t.co/FgUSVU6jWa

the country has some truly fatal flaws, but not working hard enough is definitely not one of them. the first words of the italian constitution are literally "italy is a democratic republic founded on labour"

huge narrative violation i guess

MENAMOSE! L'app più cattiva del web è arrivata. Basta social, basta lunghi post inutili per far capire i concetti giusti a quelli che non li vogliono capire! Lo sappiamo che ognuno rimarrà sempre e cmq sulle sue posizioni!
E allora.. MENAMOSE!

I said this I forgot to who but I said it

BigTech will eventually come for all apps / startups / companies because they can fill the niches now that before could not because they were too small

Those niches is where entrepeneurs hung out, nice parts of the market people could build a little SaaS with $100K/y to even $100M/y, notjing like the $100B/y revenue BigTech was doing, but worth it

With AI now BigTech can fill those niches + they are the ones training and owning the best models, and keeping the best models for themselves they can outcompete anyone who doesn't own them (everyone except other BigTech)

End game for their survival is simply trying to take every business, it's just capitalism

This completely changes the prospect for entrepreneurs as there won't be much left, because BigTech is financially incentivized to have to take everything

Because if they don't, their competitor will!

La censura cinese ha vinto contro internet (malgrado le previsioni smargiasse di Clinton negli anni '90). Può vincere anche contro gli LLM?
