Let me help you: it's not AI. It's interest rates. Proof: Jobs started to fall several months before ChatGPT was released to the public (Nov 2022) They started to fall after ~11 years of zero interest rates ended in the EU, UK, and the US. https://t.co/1G6Lw3zReQ

VCs, please stop funding this slop. We’re entering clown world with the amount of AI building we’re seeing. 🤡🌎 All I see in the data infra space is companies building infrastructure for AI Agents with the obligatory buzzwords like A2A or MCP. Who is productionizing these AI

In hindsight the importance of GPUs for AI was something we really got right!
NVIDIA $5T today, but the writing has been on the wall Since @AndrewYNg and team published this paper in 2009. Were there any large/notable hedge funds that actually nailed the NVIDIA trade early? Say 2016/2017? There was ALOT of writing on the wall at that point, and company

Systems that work at scale, fail at scale. AWS us-east went down, or at least partially down, and took a chunk of the internet with it.

My pleasure to come on Dwarkesh last week, I thought the questions and conversation were really good. I re-watched the pod just now too. First of all, yes I know, and I'm sorry that I speak so fast :). It's to my detriment because sometimes my speaking thread out-executes my

Many such cases. The lessons learned at Amazon and other megacorps are often the exact opposite of what 99% of teams should do.
At a past company, the head of engineering and the principal engineers decided to break our Ruby on Rails application into a Go microservices mesh. They created very detailed design documents and architecture diagrams. They went all out and used Kubernetes, gRPC, service

"Hold on, hold on, hold on. You're selling GPUs to xAI via a SPV. That SPV is partially funding that purchase with equity from you?" "We call that synthetic vendor financing." "That is fucking crazy." "No, it's not. It's awesome."

Facebook has released a new compression library, openzl, that promises a much better compression ratio and decompression speed The way it works: It "understands" the data layout and group similar parts so you can pick the right codec to compress the data.
