@ramez Gulf states have AD guns that are cheap to use against drones. They just don't have the doctrine to use them properly. Which is where Ukraine experts can help.

Everyone’s hitting the same wall with #LLMs + #agents.

@wolfejosh The models are fine but the UX and non-model features aren’t keeping pace with evolving use of the GenAi. As a product it is brittle with unnecessary memory bloat.

@mattyglesias Missed an opportunity to include some measures to restore the checks and balances.

[Simon Cast @simoncast]

Come join us at the next #ProductTank #AbuDhabi! This time we are looking at how #AI is changing the process of #productmanagement RSVP https://t.co/5YreBnKduQ
