I have no idea, I tried calling the number on the bill but it gave me a dialer with 8 options of "if you're calling about a bill from X which is now part of Y, please dial N". When I selected 8, which was "all other&quot

Wow great timing, I just got a $22,000 bill 2 hours ago for a surgery that UHC approved 2 months ago (in a written letter from them) because they refused to pay.

As the cost of going from 0 to 1 goes to 0 the incentives flip. You'll have way more small companies that raise little or no money from VCs and have no incentives to juice head count to pump the valuation. I have a lot of friends who s

I'm saying there will be 10-100x more small dev shops competing with the big cos. Pizza sized teams that own the whole product and can just ship stuff without the dog and pony show that's common at larger orgs.

by m_ke 2y ago
Yes for sure, but from what I've seen at large companies the bottlenecks are already usually caused by intra team conflicts, legal hurdles and "processes" that take something that would have taken a dev with ownership 1-2 day

This is only semi related but I wonder what will happen to these huge hierarchical orgs when the pace of software development improves by 10-20x thanks to LLMs. How will these risk averse slow moving teams with a ton of process keep up with

Zuck has majority voting shares, so can't be fired. Sam already proved that nobody at OpenAI can get him out, and the new board makes that even harder. Same for Elon. No matter what happens, all 3 will be billionaires for the rest of t

Yeah he could easily get Hinton (who hates nothing more than Sam Altman) to endorse a new proper open AI lab, similar to what was described in the OpenAI Charter. Karpathy, Alec Radford, and a ton of their old students are practically fre

I can't imagine what it's like at Meta right now, with the CEO publicly stating that they're firing the bottom 5% of performers and then a week later stating that the LLMs that his researchers / engineers are working on

By grade I mean a score of how many of the tasks were completed successfully. K/N or as a percentage.

by m_ke 2y ago
The only reliable final test will be a black box test suite that takes your model, executes it in a sealed environment and gives you a grade back, potentially with a performance break down by subject. No telling companies what the questions

We’ll definitely get above human level performance for a lot of tasks soon. It just won’t be general and reliable enough to do open ended tasks the way competent humans do. So we’ll have models that can fill out and validate a tax return, a

Unfortunately it was shut down after I sold the company to MyFitnessPal. I was a shitty business person who thought it made sense to try and build a free consumer product on a bootstrapped budget. We had some traction on the B2B side that p

Except we’re probably decades away from reliable open ended agents that can be trusted to perform any task. There’s a reason why waymo started out in SF and Phoenix, getting to enough 9s to be hands off is really hard and current ML based s

It’s amazing how confident all of the recent 20 year olds with “AI” companies are. I’ve got to meet a bunch of founders of chatGPT wrapper companies from recent YC batches and other startups that raised a ton of money from top firms and the

At Bitesnap we were surprised at how much interest there was from researchers to use our app for diet tracking. It turns out giving people a piece of paper to write “grilled cheese sandwich for lunch” is not a scalable and reliable way to c

Wokeness is also a way the media can smack down candidates like Corbin and Sanders, labeling them sexist or an antisemite for focusing on class instead of identity politics.

by m_ke 2y ago
Wokeness is what happens when you have socially liberal and fiscally conservative investors / executives try to please their democratic leaning employees without having to pay more taxes. It costs them nothing, so you get corporations
