just discovered virtue / moir and damn their skating and relationship and lore is so all so engrossing. i can't imagine the kind of closeness that develops working with same person for 20+ years starting when you were 9!!

i keep telling people, if you want to start the next hot school in SF, start alpha school + mandarin immersion. in the morning do regular alpha school (in english) plus a chinese class. then in the afternoon do all the regular extra curricular and life skills stuff but all in chinese. charge 100k and it’d still get the chinese/chinese-adjacent families at all the big labs.
Replying to @tszzl
Just moved my daughter to Alpha School. Personalized AI-driven academics delivered in 2 hours per day, leaving the rest of the afternoon for life skills. We’re a few weeks in and she’s already a different kid.

I wish it was socially acceptable at work to react to a chat message with a designated emoji if you thought it was ai generated.

it’s not stated vs. revealed preference — when people say they want more friends it means that they want the emotional intimacy of close friendship (that they have with their existing friends) but don’t want to put in the time/effort needed to get a new person to that point.
friendship is the biggest stated preference/revealed preference thing in the world. people often come to me and say “I want more friends” and I’m like “cool talk to more new people” and then I check in three weeks and they’re like “talking to new people is too much effort”

i’m pretty sure irtefa set a record here for most number of partners gotten through legal and procurement in the shortest amount of time.
Today the average company calls 3.5 models across multiple providers. That means 3.5 billing dashboards, 3.5 sets of API docs, and no single place to see what you're actually spending. When one provider goes down, you're writing custom failover logic at 2am. We just shipped something at Cloudflare that changes this. Today we shipped AI Gateway as a unified inference layer at Cloudflare: one API, one line of code to switch between any model from @alibaba_cloud , @AssemblyAI , @BytedanceTalk , @Google , @inworld , @MiniMax_AI , @Kimi_Moonshot , @OpenAI , @pixverse , @recraftai , @runwayml , and @ViduAI_official . Seventy plus models (and growing!), twelve plus providers, one set of credits, automatic failover when a provider goes down. None of this works without partners who chose to make their models accessible through a shared, open platform instead of walled gardens. Grateful to every one of them for building this with us.

I’m curious what it’s like at bridgewater now (a company that recorded all internal conversations well before it became cool) — both how they’re using llms within this culture and how they’re leveraging their decade+ history of meeting recordings
Most if not all human organizations are legacy bloatware. Meetings need to be imagined from first principles with language models in mind. All comms within a company surveilled and bubbled up to the ceo. So far organizations have predictably shown a profound lack of imagination

i bet that most people haven’t mentally priced in how easy it is to write a doc now. before if a coworker sent you a doc, it meant they cared enough about a thing to take the time to think deeply about it, write out their thoughts, and do some amount of editing. there was signal in the fact the doc was produced. now… a person with ai can generate a reasonably good doc in minutes. the writing could be as good as if they had written by hand. but because it’s so much easier now, it doesn’t have as much value as a “how much does this person care” signal. the valuable skill now is deciding if a doc is worth reading.

genuinely curious how much @rohindhar’s tweets are pumping up the sf real estate market. the answer isn’t zero.
