@signulll consumer adoption of AI is at 2%

Everyone can cut their own hair. Why do i still pay £25 a cut? Cost/Benefit

Short term is that there's 10000s of new use cases that can be captured by saas

[Jonathan Beacher @jonathanbeacher]

I dont get this argument. People can cut their own hair but go to hairdressers. Maybe simple consumper apps become single-use AI generated apps but anything more complex people will not spend weeks defining their workflows, thinking of edge cases, worrying about security, etc...

Software is dead

It's now the era of personal software and everyone just builds what they need whenever they need it I think

@jackmoses777 Sounds horrible and vapid

@bot has Andy burnham had a job outside of politics and journalism?

[Jonathan Beacher @jonathanbeacher]

[Jonathan Beacher @jonathanbeacher]

We should be maximally distrustful of everything the labs say or do

They have internal models far more intelligent than we can use

And they use these models to run scenarios on strategy, maximising their own goals over ours

Everything they do and say is calculated, to optimise their self interest, by trillion parameter models with more inference than global govts combined

[Grant Hummer @gphummer]

Translation: our gross margins are getting competed down to 0 by open source models and our capex burn rate is too high.

Let’s maintain our margins with regulatory capture, ban open source models, and slow down the capex arms race. All with a virtue signaling cherry on top.

Who had most to gain? 🤔

The lab about to IPO whose CEO needs extra runway

The guy who owns the channel whose algorithm somehow promoted a tweet to 150m views?

Seems pointless when open weights come out 2 months later at a tenth of the price

[Podcast Alpha @PodcastAlphaX]

Chamath @chamath: how does an account with no followers get 110 million views in a day?

David Sacks @DavidSacks had an answer, on the same All-In @theallinpod taping. Within 15 minutes of the Anthropic researcher's doomsday resignation post, three policy groups amplified it: ENCODE AI's Nathan Calvin, the AI Policy Network's Peter Wildeford, and the AI Futures Project's Daniel Kokotajlo, who dropped a Rogan episode the same day using the same phrasing. All three groups are funded by Jaan Tallinn, who co-led Anthropic's Series A. The Wall Street Journal published a story on the resignation minutes before the tweets went out, meaning the paper had been briefed under embargo. The researcher had agreed to appear on the show and cancelled the morning of taping.

The £20 codex plan has to be the best vale in AI right now. Let Luna rip all day doing computer use tasks, then switch over to ChatGPT for a double bubble Astra allowance

[Jonathan Beacher @jonathanbeacher]

@n2parko @bot Efficient computer use. Tasks can take up a large % of quota so it can feel quite limited to automate genuine work

[Jonathan Beacher @jonathanbeacher]

@tibor_tee Cheaper computer use so i can let it rip (copy and pasting data app > app)

@screenkite_com loving screenkite but it's inexplicably stopping recording 3-4 minutes in. Is it a known problem?
