This is really good.

This is a great writeup on dopamine and how it can impact product design. Learned a lot.

Without some major improvements, I don't see how Spreadsheets (Excel and G Sheets) survive Claude Artifacts / Replit Agents / Cursor. The whole reason why spreadsheets are so popular for business people is because of the ability to prototype calculations quickly. That's

It is crazy how prescient Bezos' call to Amazon to go fully API-first was - over 20 years ago. If it continues to be implemented well, it must set up Amazon really well for the upcoming agentic future.

AI flips the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle on its head. It's now much easier to debunk effortless conspiracies with research-backed, logical responses. It will make the lives of conspiracy theorists much harder.

Feeling very uneasy right now.

What's being missed in the o3 hype: it validates that test-time compute scales. Regardless of whether this is AGI, it shows that intelligence scales with exponential spend. For the first time, we can directly tie intelligence to money spent - and that's unsettling. Until now,

Very inspiring piece on an Indian space tech company. Well written Rahul Sanghi. Very waitbuywhy-ish.

Interesting series of posts by Lukas Petersson Agents are the current buzzword, but 'computer use' doesn't get enough mention yet. Computer use has the potential of becoming the 'spreadsheets' of AI - going to be usable by nearly everyone and could have massive adoption.

I don't understand why I am so fascinated at reading the <thinking> part in R1

Very inspiring read

Everyone's focused on how do we get super intelligence. But most businesses don't really have problems that require that level of intelligence. I think the value created by mid-level intelligence decisions taken millions of times is under-rated. We already have this, and it is

Exploratory Data Analysis using LLMs seems like a really large business use case that no one seems to be tackling. Can go much deeper than humans can, can be great using today's models and probably has an application in every business.

Trump has created more economists than Harvard

This "human prompt" generated by LLMs is funny because its true (found on reddit)

Why aren't there cars purpose-built for working on a laptop? So much time stuck in traffic doomscrolling.

Back in college, while studying the sciences, I used to think that the 'main stuff' was already discovered - that it would be easier to be a scientist 50 yrs ago. This tool is great - just inspiring to see how much more there is still to figure out.

When you try to automate tasks with AI, you come to appreciate how much nuance humans hold and use without even realising it. There's more to it than just raw intelligence.

Interesting read about the Alpha School. They claim their kids learn at 2.6x the speed of their peer groups. Even if it doesn't live up to that hype, the tl;dr seems to be that it's designed around 3 principles: - Rapid feedback loops - Spaced repetition - Well-designed
