@adcock_brett some anecdotal feedback on hark if it’s helpful!

1. Browsing is plainly better, and faster.

I had it do a clothing item dupe search, and its results were more expansive and exhaustive than the other assistants. However, its visual accuracy in finding an actual dupe was slightly worse than Dot.

I find myself wanting to go to hark for any tasks that I need fan-out browsing.

2. Securely handling finances via Plaid in Muse is really nice. I wish you had that in hark.

3. Getting movie tickets was faster and a more delightful experience by way of getting through the checkout experience. But a few things were harder: I had to keep nudging it to look at other theatres, I had to nudge it to make sure seats were by each other, and muse was a bit more helpful in ensuring that I wanted the seats it chose, where hark was concerned about losing our selected seats and wouldn’t go back to screenshot the seat map for me.

4. Passwords and logins is great. No issues.

5. Payments is a lot less seamless than using Link with muse and instinct. More taps, more app switching, etc.

Overall I dig it! Excited to see your team crank.

Hmm, Pierce isn’t writing the screenplay? 😒

I'll be in SF all next week! If you're working at the intersection of science, robotics, materials, and AI— I'd love to get together. Send me a message.

This looks awesome

Our newest book is finally here!

Making the Modern Laboratory is a spectacular 504-page hardcover that tells the story of everything in the research laboratory and how it came to be, from pipettes to heat-resistant glass to microscopes and more.

It features dozens of articles (most of which will never appear in print), 100+ full-color images, and original writing from 36 authors. It's printed on Arena Natural Rough paper from Fedrigoni. These books are THICC and would make a great gift for both the science-curious and the working scientist. :)

We have spent the last year working on this project. It has been an insane labor of love. The best way to support our independent science journalism is to buy a copy. <3

Man, i agree with this, but people aren't likely to tell this personality type what they're doing wrong because there's almost always severe consequences and loyalty politics. Rather, view it as, "What type of person do I need to be that invites constructive criticism?"

Vinod Khosla reveals Sam Altman admitted nobody tells him where he is “screwing up,” and explains why startups fail when private doubts go unspoken

“By the way, I was just talking to Sam Altman. He was here earlier this week. We were having dinner. I said, ‘Sam, your hardest problem is nobody’s going to be brutally honest with you and tell you you’re screwed up in X or Y.’ Like, literally, I told him that.”

“And he said, ‘Yeah, nobody says that to me. Like, where am I screwing up?’”

“And there’s a great book by a woman called Margaret Heffernan. I said to him, ‘You should invite her to come speak to your senior management team.’ And she’s given a TED Talk, which is the easy way to look at it, called Dare to Disagree.”

“She talks about where people don’t disagree even if they know something’s wrong. And then very often you don’t know something’s wrong, but you have a hunch. So you’re not even sure of your own opinion. But if you don’t bring it up in a group meeting, you can’t discuss it. And there may be three other people in the room that are worried about the same thing.”

“And very often when startups go wrong, people say, ‘You know, I thought that two years or three years ago,’ and somebody else will say, ‘I thought that too,’ but they never surfaced it for discussion.”

“Discussion is always a good thing. Disagreement is always a good thing. As Jeff Bezos says, you want to have that discussion, then you want to have the team agree and commit or disagree and commit. But you want one strategy, and that’s what the founder does or the CEO does.”

So do frontier labs just sit on checkpoints and all release them strategically? Or is the advancement coincidentally just that fast?

[Nate Sanders @nlsanders]

@scottew If you say so buddy
