Yes! AI is a compressor. Compresses timelines, compresses human layers, does not care about each team artificial charters / responsibilities.
Coding is dead, long live coding

Plato thought writing would weaken the minds. Baudelaire considered photography as corrupting art. Sousa that recorded music would kill amateurs. Tao that AI advancing science is not desirable. Carry on
Replying to @KrzakalaF
Au contraire. C'est une nouvelle ère qui s'ouvre pour les mathématiques. Une ère où la démonstration formelle est largement automatisée et où l'accent sera reporté sur le développement de nouveaux concepts, nouvelles abstractions, nouvelles définitions, et nouvelles conjectures. L'invention du bateau a réduit l'importance de la nage, mais a permis la découverte de nouvelles terres.

The expectations for OpenAI's new products have always been high - I find GPT-4o extremely impressive, getting to that quality (LMSYS elo of ~1310 so far, better than any model) with that speed is crazy good in my book. The voice mode is the 🍒 on the cake - a very big one

I can't help but wonder how they can offer that level of compute though - "always on" audio + vision models feel expensive on paper. They might have 2 models, a cheaper one in front of the expensive one to filter out inputs "not worthy" of compute.

. @dwarkesh_sp’s podcasts are great - consistently bringing interesting guests to discuss tech and some adjacent topics! Thank you @dwarkesh_sp
Zuck on: - Llama 3 - open sourcing towards AGI - custom silicon, synthetic data, & energy constraints on scaling - Caeser Augustus, intelligence explosion, bioweapons, $10b models, & much more Enjoy! Links below

Is there a good application that allows to use an LLM directly from the right click menu on Mac? You predefine 3 or 4 prompts and you can summon the LLM on the fly with any application through a right click.

This is an interesting take on an industry shift, however I think the changes will be more drastic! Here is a potential future, somewhat of a thread.
We're going through what is likely a major industry shift - and it will change how many (even though not all!) engineering teams think about what "sensible" engineering practices mean. Say goodbye to this logic from the past: 1. Go 2. Microservices 3. ??? 4. Profit

End to end tests will become more common as code become more ephemeral and LLM make it easier to write them.

Due to these factors, outages will continue to happen more often than before, however resolution will be faster in average.

Ok I tried suno.ai V3 alpha, it is very impressive. Way better than their v2 model, instrumentation is too notch, a lot of the styles are pretty good. Voice is not fully there for the most part (seems "autotune") but it sometimes can sound still quite realistic

Mark, want to rename Threads too? I heard Elon has budget issues and does not need the Twitter brand anymore… maybe, just maybe.
