There was a time and place for the "stay at 30,000 feet" level managers and MBA programs were great at churning them out... but these people are the least capable of producing the most important LLM accelerator: context
I would also argue it takes a specific type of manager to not feel this.
"We need to see this problem at a 5,000 foot level" managers = in for a massive world of hurt
"We need to be close to the work to help them answer questions / lead." = in for a massive advantage
And the government funding of 12 red states
“Murder is coming to AI. But not to Claude.”
The US produces way way way too much dairy and a big reason it's in our schools is because it subsidizes the industry. You can copy and paste that to all kinds of agribusiness in the US. That who portion of the economy exists on government handouts.
Appreciate the phrasing "closest one to a business model" because it isn't sustainable yet, but at least they have product-market fit.
outside of Google, this company (Anthropic) might be the only closed LLM of its size where we can say that.
Universally absent from their writeups: infosec and code maintenance.

Ah that's crazy, it's almost like Threads picked up the decentralization messaging when they launched so they could neutralize the Atmosphere

so once again just random ass people did the job of the FBI because they're categorically inept.
This isn't going to end how he wants it to end.
This isn't to say that a product can't evolve and add features. My favorite products have done that. (WordPress, Notion, hell Apple Notes.) .. But those features are asked for from its users and the product gets better.
Keep hearing that Mark cares about his legacy. Without really making something?
How else are you going to be profitable with your coveted demographic flees the platform and regulatory capture is your primary growth vehicle?
Terrible all around. Add AI slop to that and it's going to speed run people off that platform.
A person born in 2004 is now old enough to drink in the U.S., and 2004 is also the last time Mark built a successful product.
That's a looong time ago.
If your legacy is creating a product 20 years ago and only growing through M&A, enshittification is the natural evolution, right?
I think it's funny that the same incompetent knobs who tell us government can't work and are hacking away at its foundations with chainsaws for fun somehow think they can keep a lid on this

This will be a taxpayer funded commercial for Claude Code.
Judges and bar associations certainly shouldn’t be allowing AI use if qualified human lawyers aren’t checking the results.
And with over 500 cases of AI misuse, clearly continuing legal education is failing on this issue.
Student surveillance companies cash in on the ai grift by promising schools and parents their tech will keep students safe from the harms of ai.
And by "off-balance-sheet debt," they mean accounting fraud
Really the most Meta-like tactic on display from OAI lately is to release products that have obvious harms and say "oops!" two days later and add some minor safeguard
My comment on @theverge.com. Today, AI-controlled web browsers introduce security and privacy risks. It's also kind of a step backwards, are we returning to text-based browsers (also walled gardens, competition protection, anybody)? ;) www.theverge.com/report/81008...
Bending Spoons buys dying tech brands and jacks up their prices to maximize pain for their remaining customers. It is the final stage of enshittification before death
I love the internet.
