See the reason Google Fiber existed [1]. It wasn't for a product, it was to kick the pants of all the monopolistic broadband providers. Now, you have similar motivation on a global scale . [1] https://gdt.com/blog&#x2F

It's in the training data! Long conversations between humans result in humans getting tired and going to bed. I have this reality baked into my workflow: 1. Start by hyping the task at the beginning, mentioning that there's no rus

Related, the craziest emergent behavior I see is non-technical managers killing projects because they themselves can't understand how it could be implemented. I firmly believe many managers think they're in the positions they are

True, but that's an unknown internal model, without details of the architecture. We'll have to see if the LLM model, itself, was responsible for the "novel" bits, or if it was stuffs bolted onto the LLM that made it poss

Say you were interviewing a human, to see how capable they were. You are allowed to give them take home work. What kind of questions would you ask, or tasks would you give, to try to get a measure of their competence? If you gave them a tas
