Have you ever had someone in your life that you wrote poetry or anything romantic for?
Was it like, generic romantic or did it capture you and your significant other in your particular quirks
Siiiiiiick
Why do you still work at Google?
Man you would not like this young hacker named Rob Pike
He had a portfolio of bets across the company and most have paid out, hence the higher revenue, profit, and stock price
They’ve added AI ad creation tools and AI ad targeting, both proving effective
Well no, because he still massively grew the core business even with the tens of billions of burned capital on the speculative stuff
approximately $11.37 billion in total cumulative revenue since they started breaking it out (vs $60b in cumulative losses)
So not NOTHING, but probably should have worked against healthier expectations (this is basically a game console, spend appropriately)
Right, they are spending on AI and reducing spending on less productive fronts
People who do not write code in any capacity are going to be clinging on to the METR study saying that developers only think they're more productive using AI for a long time past its relevance based on the actual models used in the study
very straightforwardly, you spend less time needing to review code that isn't working as the quality of the output improves
no it isn't and you do not have a grasp on the methodologies of the studies to defend them
is the effect of those interventions as strong as that from AVs?
and what are the public costs of doing those things vs AV deployment? I'm happy to let private companies spend that capital
They've made one of the fastest growing products of all time, Claude Code
you think that developers are going to stop using these tools?
The METR study uses earlier, less capable models
he was at Microsoft for four months
he's really a Google AI guy
seems to be a great model so far, probably my new default except for when I need really long context
Written pre-AI. Pure human slop
tbh I love Waffles
Because the point of the article is the new information about the world it conveys, not the exact wording used
diminishing returns to AI scale are an illusion
Economic value comes from completing long projects, not single questions. And accuracy drives how long a project AI does: small gains compound exponentially!
Reasoners are much more accurate, with big impacts

Book 6
Lesson:
The basic paradigm of design is to coax effects from the world by identifying and manipulating its extant tendencies, rather than imposing form on it.
(They’re fighting over it because of the unprecedented adoption by normal people)
I don’t think the AI cycle is coming to a stop just yet
Ehhh I think you just want to murder people who make new things
Also I’ve been told I should share that Claude and I worked on this on the road yesterday
One can imagine a world where every iOS app developer has their own slightly different version of Apple's model
New blog post on my experiments with Apple's new foundation model
I tried to make Apple's lil' model act like Golden Gate Claude collisions.substack.com/p/fine-tunin...
another drop in the bucket, bit by bit, the collective unconscious updates it's model of the world and the future
