have seen this guy on Twitter, he is mega bearish on OpenAI because they are burning cash. on one hand, he could be right, but Big Tech has shown a relentless appetite to fund these companies and have the cash on the Balance Sheet to do so.

A bit of hyperbole on the nobody raises from uae or saudis bit. but interesting to note the significant stakes MGX has.

Drags on, too emotional :) I am curious about the median office worker and utility of AI. I do suspect OpenAI may implode. Markets do feel frothy as per usual. But in general I’m optimistic because it’s changed the way I work completely. I’ll never go back and I’d be willing to spend hundreds a month to keep it. I brainstorm with it. Problem solve. It writes a lot of my code. I learn with it. It’s long replaced Google. It’s invaluable and there’s many ways to monetize.

"The products you’re being sold today almost certainly try to wed you to a particular ecosystem — one owned by Microsoft, Apple, Amazon or Google, as a consumer at least — and, in turn, increase the burden of leaving said ecosystem. Even cryptocurrency — ostensibly a “decentralized” technology — quickly abandoned its free-wheeling libertarian ideas and sought to consolidate users on one of a few big platforms like Coinbase, OpenSea, Blur or Uniswap, all backed by the same venture capital firms (like Andreessen Horowitz). Rather than being flag bearers for a new, radically independent online economic system, they were all only able to scale through the funds and connections of the same people that funded every other recent era of the internet."

Long reads that ironically I am tempted to summarize using an LLM 😂 But feels like folks are catching on that this is a Hail Mary characteristic of an exhausted paradigm (big data with a sexier name)

Choice quote, “Well, it’s the natural result of a tech industry that’s become entirely focused on making each customer more valuable rather than providing more value to the customer.“ As soon as you aim for money over everything else, you’re left with nothing. It’s why OpenAI started as a not-for-profit. The company org structure itself can limit your impact potential.

I think these pieces were very bad: poorly evidenced and illogically argued. Was grateful for being introduced to Nikhil Suresh’s blog

Duno how I missed this the other day but I love it and just shared it across my team. I'm the self loathing ultra contrarian on my team so it's on brand but I actually only agree with probably 75% of the hot takes - still a great counter to non stop hype he so wonderfully roasts Current crypto wave next please!

there will be a bubble, it will pop eventually, but it’s nowhere close to that point. anyone who has actually developed with these statistical generation machines knows they have a lot of power left untapped. they will surpass an individual human, but even if they didn’t, they would still increase human productivity by magnitudes. i don’t know why we still listen to these tech media people who have no experience actually building technology. Ed Zitron, Mike Solana, Taylor Lorenz - these super opinionated media-only personalities are only attention-seeking, negative, self-important non-contributors. it’s time we turn off their know-nothing nonsense.

The author makes a compelling case about the “subprime AI crisis.” Encouragingly everything he said is nearly identical to what was said of the internet in the late 1990s. While the crisis came, the internet survived and we know today the value it provides.

So if the bubble explode we’re going to see a large blood spill? Something I didn’t understand reading the article was if this is related only to o1 of all the AI development. Recently I read something about the energy problem with AI but I never considered they are probably built on sand (citing the author)
