This makes a lot of sense to me.
[1] 78% of companies are now using AI. 80% report zero material impact on their bottom line. This isn't a deployment problem. It's something far more interesting—and dangerous. Let me show you what's actually happening. 🧵 [2] McKinsey just released their State of AI 2025

AI doesn’t do it end-to-end. It does it middle-to-middle. The new bottlenecks are prompting and verifying.

Its like trying to develop AI bilingualism and simultaneous translation.
Almost everything about how we’re building enterprise software products is changing right now. For years when you built SaaS products, your entire design focus was how a user would interact with the system to accomplish their task, by themselves or collaboratively. Now many of

Excited to listen to this. @komorama is one of the brightest and most generous and generative people I have met in the Silicon Valley ecosystem. Alex is a complex systems thinker that is fascinated by emergence ... but he also creates systems to enable emergence to emerge...
The smallest technical decisions become humanity's biggest pivots: The same-origin policy—a well-intentioned browser security rule from the 1990s—accidentally created Facebook, Google, and every data monopoly since. It locks your data in silos—and you stayed where your stuff

got my O1 visa a few months ago! just recorded a podcast sharing the full immigration story from india -> canada -> the UK → three TNs to the US -> finally, the O1 endless gratitude to the advisors, collaborators, and institutions who helped me get here: @komorama
Today's episode left me with a bittersweet feeling. Canada keeps losing its best and brightest to the south of the border. It sucks because we aren't just losing talent. We are losing the future. And it's a worrying trend that seems to be accelerating by the day. We talk a big

I am currently doing this with o3, 4 opus and gemini 2.5. it is a productive and sometimes overwhelming conversation. I want to combine them in one interface like this.

100% this - see thread.
I feel there are two parallel worlds of AI use developing with a growing divide between. Engineers use APIs while everyone else uses a chatbot. I think coders don’t take what experts can do with chatbots seriously & non-tech people don’t understand building scalable AI tools.

🧠Andy Clark’s recent article in Nature, “Extending Minds with Generative AI,” frames cognition as a dynamic interplay between biological intelligence and external scaffolding—a perspective that deeply aligns with my own. 👉In “Beyond Tools: LLMs and the Emergence of Extended

Should we think about this as explicit level 2 reasoning @AmandaAskell but what it misses is the magic or implicit level 3 reasoning? I have been paying around with methods to get the LLMs to be more creative. I wonder how that relates too.

Really interesting. On a related note, I've been thinking about how LLMs are introducing 3 new levels of meta-cognition to how we need to think about thinking. Here is the graphic from my teaching at @HLS_CLP two weeks ago. When I write it up, I'll ping you @AmandaAskell.
System 1 = fast, implicit reasoning System 2 = slow, explicit reasoning System 3 = slow, implicit reasoning For me, system 3 is the real genius of the lot.

I completely agree with this. It isn't just that the new models are excellent - they are. It is that there is an enormous amount that is still needed to turn these into good products. It is also that LLMs are profoundly SOCIO-technical and we need to change the socio side.
I don’t mean to be a broken record but AI development could stop at the o3/Gemini 2.5 level and we would have a decade of major changes across entire professions & industries (medicine, law, education, coding…) as we figure out how to actually use it. AI disruption is baked in.

This conversation was great. Made me want to converse not just with the new GPT but also with @tobi
just had a conversation with new GPT about this, and… yea, checks out. That’s some spicy honesty https://t.co/XtLaiFimIE

Good read! AI is rapid, yet culture is moving at a snail's pace!
I wrote up my explanation of why the frontier of AI is moving so fast, but the adoption of AI is so slow. AIs need cultural evolution just like humans.

Working out how to order, orchestrate, deploy and evaluate units of cognition is going to be an important skill when managing Human + AI teams. We dont yet have good conceptual frames or best practices for doing this. It will require symbiotic meta-cognitive & management skills
