Distraction is a symptom of a problem––not the problem itself. Like all actions, we use distraction as a means of avoiding discomfort.

Only when we understand what we’re trying to avoid can we begin to address the issue itself.

I'm not gonna lie, the @Meta layoffs are some of the most dystopian I've ever seen. They got told to work from home, they were sent the emails at 4AM in the morning. Those who weren't impacted have software on their computer that tracks their every move, preparing AI to take their job as well. They're literally training the AI that will eliminate their position as well.

Meanwhile, Meta is raking in RECORD PROFITS.

I am a massive, unapologetic AI enthusiast. Yet, this is NOT the future I had in mind.

I wish for Meta to crash and burn. This is not the way. Literally nobody benefits from this.

Stanford just released a 1.5-hour lecture on “LLM Architecture.”

This is the exact thing systems engineers at Anthropic and OpenAI require to understand at a deep level.

Give it some time.

This might be the highest-ROI learning you do this month.

Most product managers believe they manage the product.

What they actually manage is the experience people have with the product.

One can quickly shift from believing they're doing well to having trouble sleeping once they see this.

Pour une fois un article qui ne raconte pas n'importe quoi à propos de l'emploi et de l'intelligence artificielle. Bien au contraire, il souligne que ce qui change c'est la structure du travail et des tâches dont il est composé, mais que pour l'instant, il n'y a pas de réseau objective de croire à la disparition du travail. Certes et incontestablement, les primo-accédants au marché du travail en plus de difficultés à se placer : c'est le cas en France comme aux États-Unis. Certes également des métiers entiers vont disparaître, mais les décompositions effectuées, métier par métier permettent d'envisager que ces situations soient minoritaires. https://t.co/IGHSZvO1aR

do you know why this hit 1M views 🤔

[François Pacôme Simonetti @FaPaSim]

@clairevo I believe that.

Yet, it has to be proven at large scale.

There is a limit to what a human mind can process and fully own.

Once this limit reached, I still believe the coordination patterns observed centuries after centuries will be reproduced.

[Evan LaPointe @evanlapointe]

You don't build accountability by increasing pressure.
You build it by increasing clarity.

Pressure, funny enough, decreases accountability. This is a fact.

Google just dropped a new LLM!

You can run it locally on just 0.5 GB RAM.

Let's fine-tune this on our own data (100% locally):

4. "What are your compensation expectations?"

• The high end of the band for this level
• I am concerned about the whole package
• I am keen to see how the interviews proceed in terms of fit

Don't throw out a number. And don't act like you wouldn't like their number either.
