Evals are emerging as the real moat for AI startups Hard won insights about customers and their business logic discovered by founders acting almost as ethnographers spelunking in the underserved slices of the GDP pie chart
The best AI product leader I know makes it a habit of saying ‘taste’ is his differentiator publicly But behind the scenes, it’s all ruthless evals One of the fastest companies to surpass $100M run rate in history

Wish I could have conducted my PhD thesis in the AI era. I read through hundreds of papers, highlighting through stacks of methodologies and results so I could form my own novel hypotheses from the data. Now instant with AI

I agree with Peter Thiel on this: Emotional Intelligence (EI) becomes more valuable as AI and AGI rise. Emotional intelligence and verbal skills will rise in value. Super-intelligence doesn’t guarantee empathy and communication skills. Humans can catch the most invisible human
Peter Thiel: AI is bad news for people for math skills and society is going to shift in favor of people with strong verbal skills.

Lots of excitement about the Gemini announcement, but @GoogleCloud also announced availability of the newest TPU system today, TPU v5p. These systems are quite a bit higher performance and much cost effective than earlier generations. Compared to TPU v4, TPU v5p (see table

Here's my 🔥 hot take on ChatGPT Plugins: It's immediately apparent that this is the best channel for an impressive set of AI applications. Several talented folks I know are dropping everything to focus on this exclusively. 1/

ChatGPT casually dropped an APP STORE 🤯 It can now: - browse the web (RIP Bing waitlist, cutoff) - write and run Python (RIP replit?) - access org info (RIP docsearch startups) - add third party plugins from OpenTable, Wolfram, Instacart, Zapier, etc) - developer SDK in preview

Somewhere along the road we started listening to VCs more than founders on company-building. This is a big mistake. The depth you reach as a founder is incomparable to that of an investor.

Good morning California. It’s reopening day. We’ve administered over 40 million vaccines. Now… No more social distancing. No more capacity limits. No more colors or county tiers. And if you’re vaccinated—no more masks. It’s a good day.

El Salvador has become the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender. The U.S. dollar will still be the country's main currency, but Bitcoin can be used in any transaction and any business will have to accept it, unless it lacks the technology to do so.

A step in the right direction. Paid leave should not fall on private employers, and 6 wks of leave is a joke. It’s time America stepped up and joined the rest of the developed world to provide equitable support for families. Also in the plan: universal preschool for 3-4yr olds
Every American deserves economic security. That includes 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave. The American Families Plan will make sure of it.
