> the difference is that the data center full of geniuses is self-driving and limited only by how much compute it can consume while the brainlet swarms will be heavily bottlenecked by their human orchestrators. Here's another human

That helps, but people tend to ask about uses they can already imagine. The hard part is discovering what’s possible beyond that.

Thanks for the video rec! Engelbart was heavily influenced by the 1945 essay "As We May Think". We agree with the general principles from the essay i.e. cognitive augmentation over automation and the focus on extending our cogniti

Yes, I think the good comparison here is games with keyboard shortcuts + graphical interface. The interface helps with discovery, but it's complemented by the need for speed through shortcuts. We see this playing a role in things like

The key design tension is whether the main space should be the asset you are working on or the work being delegated. For a lot of tasks, I don’t think you will need to stay inside the document or app the whole time. But I can also imagine s

Great distinction! Ideally, friction occurs at the edge of your ability instead of on tedious tasks where you learn nothing, and it's more like work .

I’m sorry but you will be the first to go in this new age. LLMs today are absolutely mind blowing, along with this image stuff. Either learn to adapt or remain a boomer.
