CEO @frame_ai & CMU PhD helping machines understand and assist conversations between real people. Let's make systems and businesses as human(e) as possible.

Let's spend less time working and talking about AI, and a lot more more on IA and II: https://t.co/ddEdJki8r6

@__paleologo The weak points are (a) mobile access and (b) deep research flows. There are workarounds to do these in CLI, but you can also get it all done within Goog ecosystem by using Gemini on mobile, NotebookLLM for research, and CLI for long-lived projects.

[George Davis @georgebdavis]

@__paleologo Being accustomed to organizing ideas, you're going to find Claude Code (or Cursor, or Gemini CLI) SO much more powerful than the consumer Agents -- even for non-coding tasks. Organize projects for different aspects of your life and have the "coding" agent help maintain notes.

@mattturck AI is also helping us discover that the human processes were all duct tape and chicken wire as well !

@waitbutwhy Make sure it's visible in your zoom background!

@karpathy @karpathy what are biggest failure modes for PM hierarchy (AI edition)?

[George Davis @georgebdavis]

@mattturck Biggest advantage giveaway in history

@mattturck It's like your cell - cost of last year's inference goes down, cost of this year's goes up.

Great if you need "good enough", expensive if you need a competitive experience.

[George Davis @georgebdavis]

@nathanmcahill @AndrewYNg Fair, but a connected economy gave us tools to expect more of industry and lift all boats (even slowly). A disconnected economy will involve more exploitation in more places, with less visibility and less recourse.

[George Davis @georgebdavis]

This is so true, and has consequences for both strategy (that context data is valuable!) and development (competitive features can't rely on LLM background knowledge, they require thoughtful context engineering).

[Mike Murchison @mimurchison]

a less capable model with richer context now regularly beats a smarter model with poorer context

@mattturck New from the party of anti-globalist, anti-immigrant, and anti-elite: a luxury immigration package for the global elite!

@zacharylipton I'm impressed at how Microsoft has played both sides of this wave -- driving high-parameter obsession by funding OpenAI, while releasing awesome research on distilling, quantization and small models in general.

[George Davis @georgebdavis]

💯 - capital seeks narratives where it is the driver of impact, and that back-propagates into science and engineering communities. The upshot is when it shakes us out of local minima, like ignoring deep nets. Knowing when the narrative has reached diminishing (or negative) returns is hard, like sizing any gradient step.

[George Davis @georgebdavis]

@largedatabank Love this - any hot takes on what makes this problem different with CockroachDB architecture?

[George Davis @georgebdavis]

@nntaleb Duty seems to me as hard to purify as altruism. How would you differentiate deontic actions from seeking a pleasure in the fulfillment of duty, or avoidance of the pain felt in dishonor?

[George Davis @georgebdavis]

@mimurchison Even anthropocentric intelligence should be considered in a task-specific and context specific way. Highly recommend Gould's Mismeasure of Man on that score (and possibly a source of ideas about how we will screw up evaluating AI)

[George Davis @georgebdavis]

@dauber Reminds me of the y2k masterpiece Romeo Must Die . If you want ownership in an NFL team, you need to make sure Jet Li falls in love with your daughter and protects critical transactions from Triad interference.

@mattturck That's why real VCs go to sleep at midnight in Paris and wake up at 7a Tokyo time for meditation and workout before the opening bell.
