Software projects benefit from growth in interconnected scale. Ability to maintain cohesion is the limiting factor to such growth. The stable state thus is often lacking. Fast food restaurant chains scale horizontally and scope of each esta

We kinda move from the situation “LLM can only do what it seen before” to “LLM can do something by composing several things it has seen before”. We didn’t get to the situation “LLM can do things it has not seen before”. The practicality of

Consumers have low friction on the way in and on the way out. Especially when media hype gets involved. Business have higher friction - legal, integrations, access control, internal knowledge leaks (a document can be restricted access but r

LLM might rely on their own verbosity to carry the conversation in a stable direction.

LLM can also help learning f you ask it what can be done better. Seniors can make prepromt so that company customs are taken into account.

There’s Gaussian and fractal randomness. Fraud and transportation losses are Gaussian, for example - they average out to known values. An empowered LLM can wreck absolute havoc, and if it’s not empowered there’s no reason to spend $100b on

Network effects usually destroy or marginalized competition until they themselves start stagnating decaying. Sometimes they produce partially-overlapping duopolies, but maintain their monopoly-like power. Facebook marginalized linkedin and

There’s still untapped value in deeper integrations. They might hit a jackpot of exponentially increasing value from network effects caused by tight integration with e.g. disjoint business processes. We know that businesses with tight net

It’s generally useful to consider unit economy separate from whole company. If your unit economy is negative thing are very bleak. If it’s positive, your chance are going up by a lot - scaling the business amortizes fixed (non-unit) costs,

Fantastic perspective. Basically each new company puts competitive pressure on the previous company, and together they compress margins. They are racing themselves to the bottom. I imagine they know this and bet on AGI primacy.

Free tier provides a lot of training material. Every time you correct ChatGPT on its mistakes you’re giving them knowledge that’s not in any book or website. Thats a moat, albeit one that is slow to build.

So you don’t get sued, but you lose control or even your stake or even the whole business. Remember how Uber founder got kicked out? He had a strong hand. Chilling effect is there one way or another, and even when that does not work advers

It’s an interesting argument, thanks. A good analogy would be web development transition from c to java to php to Wordpress. I feel like it did make web sites creation for small business more accessible. OTOH a parallel trend was also mass-

I’ve read some analysis than many swing voters supported Trump because they were unhappy with the economic situation, not due to culture wars. In their minds, and words, Trump may change at least something while democrats will certainly cha

A $100 GPS/LTE dongle in the Obd2 port could alert the nearest cop, or automatically write a ticket. Seems like a much easier solution, no? Like, you floor the accelerator and as soon as you reach 100mph you get a text message with a f

So if the job marketplaces are flooded, where does one find a job anymore? It seems like one should spend maybe 20% of their work time just maintaining professional connections to make sure they can find a job when they inevitably need one

Where would you store the voice memos? I’m concerned that unfiltered stream of thought would be perceived not well if it surfaces. This needs strong privacy and at the same time convenient UX.
