It feels like a pretty significant anthropological loss that we don't have these early models anymore. I hope that the weights are open-sourced someday so we have complete documentation of the takeoff.

Pops (@pops_fyi) lets anyone create and play AI games.
Describe your idea, and Pops turns it into a fun mini game to remix, share, and play with friends. No code required. All you need is an idea. Short-form software.
Congrats on the launch, @alonzuman!

2019 narrative, you missed the inversion. It's now much easier to join a startup than it is to join FAANG.
Still lots of unmotivated people in big tech, but relatively few unskilled ones. The talent floor at startups is *far* lower.

Crazy how fast working at FAANG went from high status to professional mark of death

This is because "startups" are no longer (a) that risky and (b) a monolith. There is a long tail of low quality, small companies who raised some $.
Startups went from the moonshot bet for high-agency engineers to the backup plan for mid ones.
There are still some great startups, but It's a minefield.

I'm pretty skeptical of these kinds of calculations, they seem true only if work is highly monotonous.
The value from difficult, white-collar labour is inherently pretty spiky and benefits from random moments of inspiration and connection.
Also humans are not computers that simply turn on and off- fun begets culture begets motivation.
That said, most meetings *are* too long and poorly run. Big fan of "leave the meeting if it's not useful" cultures.

btw if you want style LLM outputs it's much more effective to *demonstrate* that style in the system prompt than to state it explicitly.
"Remember — no em dashes!" is inane
human crafted prompt => humanized output

Some people think the founder is the jester and others the queen and they’re both right

Ironically, nobody should attend WebSummit but not because of Hasan.
It’s just a total waste of marketing dollars and is a borderline scam.

In honor of tax season- Government expenditure per capita:
Luxembourg (#1) - $54,750.36
USA (#4) - $32,842.78
Canada (#17) - $22,847.14
70% of the US/Canada gap is borrowing, 25% is spending. The tax revenue/GDP difference is only ~5%.
* Data is from 2022.
