Probably the bigger factor is consequence, not just rate at what’s missed. But zoom out and we see job loss that could be stated as productivity, but what do those lawyers and law degrees do that’s more productive for society? They’re alrea

But couldn’t this previously have happened with a Qualcomm modem as well? You can always easily tether to your iPhone. It’s hard to imagine people who own a Mac but don’t have a phone — I assume Android can also provide tethering? Aside fro

Have you used one? Is it really better? Putting aside the biggest issue which is a creased and more fragile screen, I’m not really convinced it’s a better experience. Having more real estate for movies seems useful, but it’s otherwise diffi

It seems in general we’re heading toward’s Minsky’s society of minds concept. I know OpenAI is wanting to collapse all their models into a single omni model that can do it all, but I wonder if under the hood it’d just be about routing. It’d

1 PhD was enough for me. I think you’re vastly overestimating the amount of work people either want to do or pay for. A worse version that’s nearly free or instant will win regardless of limitations the majority of the time.

Web didn’t really replace long reads. You didn’t have a searchable question that you’d previously read hundreds of pages for. More and more short form content started coming out, then social media, all of which both replaced books as entert

The printing press takes your ideas that you already wrote and increases distribution. Deep research is writing the text for you. That’s completely different.

Because all your writing is being done for you. All your homework is done for you. You go to start coding as an engineer, you just copy/paste from an AI until it runs. No need to think, no need to try to figure it out for yourself, no

The world is going to become stupider because it’s easier. This will be most dramatic for the youth in both school learning as well as in the field. Unfortunately I don’t realistically see another path in any reasonable time unless the worl

But how do you know if AI is able to pick out the salient bits for summarization? Like some nasty point poison pill hidden in there? Wouldn’t you want an expert for such things?

Here’s something scary I recently learned: Cedar-Sinai in LA (major hospital) used to have 15 lawyers on contracts. Now they have 1 and an AI app reviewing contracts. Those are 14 lawyers gone. That’s more than 3% on “productivity”, but 14

That would imply the decision making is happening outside of the locale. Why wouldn’t a firm just have their algorithms run loose on a machine as close to the source as possible?

I’ve never had my alarm fail, but it looks like others have hit this bug. So by your definition if a product has a bug (even if rare but intrinsic to the functionality), then it’s half baked. Given (effectively) all software has bugs, then

It wasn’t about his skills. It was about Steve Job’s skills. The writing I thought was quite good and provided a useful framing. Did you think otherwise?

How are alarms unreliable? Photos redesign maybe something you don’t like, but you can hardly call it half baked. All of the functionality is there and there’s a new consistency in how it works that wasn’t there previously. Books automatica

What I see is it going from 58 to 40 (the scale is ???), and it’s only continued to rise over time. So that maybe a common use (~30%), but it’s not the only use. Most of those kids will continue to use it as they graduate, having embedded i

Forgive my mathematical ignorance, but why would it be? Isn’t it just asymptotically close but not actually equal? What does the 0’s repeating give you that 1 does not?

I'd love to see this analysis done for ChatGPT, which has a much bigger 'consumer' marketshare. I'm also very wary of their analysis method, given classifiers-gonna-classify. We already see it in their example of someone

People en masse cannot imagine things not within grasp, and policy makers are of no exception. Until we approach mass change it won’t be part of main stream conversations, in part because the actual ramifications are muddled. We don’t reall
