This is everywhere And the main reason why the ICs who actually care burn out
some free career advice, for anyone new-ish in industry: never take corporate threats hurled by corporate cronies seriously. the most common tactic used is threats of turning "everyone" against you if you don't "comply", saying things like "reputation risk" and "getting

Mediocre men cheer when exceptional are denied but it never lasts long
I am actually the lead and corresponding author on the most cited research paper of this person's career. Someone told me that today, and I verified it. The claim that her work has had any substantial effect on breast cancer is a dramatic overstatement. Like much of whatâs

tbh This isnât going to look like slack/docs/etc But a new primitive
Sam Altman says Slack has many positives, but it creates endless fake work We need an AI-native productivity suite to replace docs, slides, email, and Slack Not add-on features, but trusted agents that handle work and only escalate when needed This finally feels within reach

just like chess is not knowledge anymore The redefinition continues towards âwhat makes me specialâ and not realizing that we are not
In the middle ages, intelligence WAS knowledge. It was redefined as problem solving when knowledge started to be recorded in books. The advent of AI tools will lead to another shift in what we call intelligence. We don't know yet what we will call intelligence in few years.

It's funny when regressions happen in TORA but somehow, only I notice above is scripted, generated, edited by tora no post edits, no templates, no workflows...

By the time the market catches up there have been 10 better funded competitors who have muddied the water with broken promise products Now the job is even harder.

The problem with category creation (done it a few times) is that no one is searching for it (what SEO). Second, no one believes it However if you can somehow do a demo, they do But itâs not a straight line.
Your job as a founder isnât to build a product. Your job is to build the aisle people walk down to buy it. Qualtrics didnât âmake surveys better.â They changed the category to Experience Management and pricing went from $50k to $3mil per deal Same tool. Different category.

Diffusion model âintelligenceâ will also be very different from transformer Eg global coherence vs local Will be interesting to see
When we began applying diffusion to language in my lab at Stanford, many doubted it could work. That research became Mercury diffusion LLM: 10X faster, more efficient, and now the foundation of @_inception_ai. Proud to raise $50M with support from top investors.

And finally we can put that ridiculous notion to rest that workflows are agents
"... Loops, conditionals, and error handling can be done with familiar code patterns rather than chaining individual tool calls ..." This is why I was asking for types for MCP tool outputs; I lost count of how many times I was laughed in my face (and cannot even imagine how

99% of companies investing in A.I tools have no idea what they are doing Most donât even have a single person who has done ML
An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., âin its current incarnation, simply isnât all itâs been cracked up to be,â @JohnCassidy writes.

word2vec remembers
Itâs weird that before LLMs, it wasnât even widely speculated that high-dimensional vectors encode Concepts, and the geometry of their relative positions encodes Meaning, in full generality. Youâd think itâd have been a candidate hypothesis that was widely given 30% probability.
