Every vertical AI GTM company is clamoring to perfect the personalization and flair of a talented salesman. Dozens of robotics companies are sacrificing infinitely better form factors in pursuit of humanoids.

There is some solace in the fact that humans will always be central to the purveyance of trust

All innovation and the gains from industrialization is due to abstraction.

When I first got into programming Python, this was the standard take for people using Python. The concern was that Python abstracted away too much from "real" languages like C++ and that you weren't going to learn proper computer science if you didn't know C++. Many of my viewers were also students who would tell me how their professors taught in C++ because Python was too high level in their opinion.

The thing is, when C++ came out, it too faced this exact standard take. It was accused of being too high level compared to C and assembly. C++ even faced the same claims that Python faces about how the abstraction would negatively impact performance and that it was too much bloat.

You already know what I'm about to say about Assembly... but it too was accused of being too high level by the TRUE machine coders.

We can look back at all of this and laugh, but it's important to recognize that for the entire course of history, not just for computer science, all innovation has been abstraction. That's been the key the entire time, but the next layer of abstraction has been accused of being not real and fear mongered by the local purists of the time...but eventually becomes the thing that the same purist types point to later as the "good ol times."

new blog! What methodologies do labs use to train frontier models?

The blog distills 7 open-weight model reports from frontier labs, covering architecture, stability, optimizers, data curation, pre/mid/post-training + RL, and behaviors/safety

you have no choice but to basically avoid all sin. in the 1800s you could gamble on badger fights and be fine, but now the smartest minds in the world are focused on getting you addicted to 100x leveraged labubu futures. the technologies of temptation are just too powerful now.

@SullyOmarr Media will trend to drugs - highly addictive, brain-rotting. It's early enough that it's not yet obvious to most, but late enough that it's already real.
