In the fullness of time, LLMs will eventually become commodities and their price will be a race to the bottom. As the competitive advantage of one LLM over another shrinks - particularly as open source models expand - the value proposition will turn to the neuro/symbolic harnesses that use those models, structures that encompass agents, agent orchestration, tooling, and component plugins. Even those from frontier AI organizations will fall to open source frameworks. The last thing standing will be those who command the data centers on which these things run, and even then, that will become a commodity, with the number of players shrinking to just a few survivors. They too will find pressure: as computational power rises, more and more such systems will be run locally.

When a transaction is nothing but trusted looped agents hammering out a deal, who defines the knowledge graph ? If it’s the AI, who continually trains and sets the knowledge graph ? If it’s the AI, who defines success ? If it’s the AI, then it’s probably just your bank account. If it’s just the bank account, who is going to continually replenish the bank account of the losing AI ? And for the losing AIs, who will provide them energy to continue ? And if there is one dominant AI, who will trust their agents and engage with them ? Which takes us back to humans. There is no one right answer because we can’t ever predict what comes next. But what we can never do is underestimate the interactions that take place between humans when money and time are involved. It’s our nature. We like to build. We like to be creative. We like to compete. And sometimes we like to do nothing but control our own time and do what we want I’m in the camp that says these competing interests will make it hard to keep humans out of the loop.

@mcuban You shouldn’t put human sensory limitations on future AI’s… perhaps the AI will have dozens of “senses” that will dwarf our own in every way… Picture an AI that can measure your skin temperature (IR), the tiny twitching of a cornea, level of pheromones… from miles away!

It’s totally incredible they were able to fly this beast in from space as an unpowered glider.

43 years ago Today, Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair was released. Being an interactive film LaserDisc video game, it was the first arcade to feature fully animated characters vs the sprite games of the time.

Running a business is just realizing how dumb you were 6 months ago every 6 months

Due to extraordinary demand we have extended the ticket pre-sale qualification until tomorrow at midday. This is only applicable to anyone who pre-orders the album from now until tomorrow at shop.paulheaton.emi.com - you’ll be sent codes/ticket link from midday tomorrow.

Games take so long to make now, sometimes you can tell the major creative decisions were made 5 years ago.

Regarding the 💰💰💰 After taxes, platform fees, and everything in between, this will roughly translate to around $220k. I’m honestly very aware of how huge this is. This is life-changing for me. 12/15

Terraria marks 70 million sales and 15th anniversary with a promise to "continue beyond" its next big update eurogamer.net/terraria-70m-s…

What I am about to describe ain’t AGI; it’s a sign of a trillion dollar trainwreck. If I had told you in 2022 that the 2026 version of GPT (which by the way would only be GPT 5.5 and not GPT-6 or 7 like many people fantasized about) would still have strange quirks like inserting the word “goblins” in random places, y’all would have called me either “crazy” or “a hater” or both. “Scaling”, you would have shouted. “Deep learning is conquering walls!”, you would have said. And yet here we are. OpenAI can’t even align their systems well enough to get them to stop talking about goblins without putting a bunch of utterly hack-y goblin-specific crud in their system prompts like (and I am not making this up) “never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user’s query." Meanwhile, this nonsense varies by “persona”. An actual quasi-scientific report on their website reports, without humor, “Across all datasets in the audit, the Nerdy personality reward showed a clear tendency to score outputs to the same problem with “goblin” or “gremlin” higher than outputs without, with positive uplift in 76.2% of datasets.” Instead of actual computer science, we are left with alchemy. Might as well be chanting magic incantations. Good luck solving AI safety with this tech. 🙄

ppl are so overly negative about the UK vs reality. - 4 of top 10 universities globally - third largest VC market globally behind only USA, China. 1/3 of all VC in europe - powerhouse in creative industries - second largest music exporter in the world - largest biotech ecosystem in europe - massive growth sector in the coming years - London is the top western hub for AI after Silicon Valley. - excellent financial services base and broader services economy. Number one for FX, number two for PE and Hedge Funds - produces 20% of global offshore wind TLDR UK is overwhelmingly a top 3 or top 5 player globally across finance, law, defence, biotech, clean energy, creative industries, and tech (especially AI) We are incredibly well positioned for the future. We have a number of problems we need to fix - I believe we will do so. Extremely bullish on this country

THIS GUY BUILT AN ENTIRE WIKIPEDIA THAT IS 100% AI HALLUCINATIONS AND IT'S OPEN SOURCE ON GITHUB it's called Halupedia. nothing on the site existed before you clicked. every article was generated the second you arrived. the site has one rule: the universe only exists when you visit it. it looks exactly like wikipedia. same fonts. same layout. same scholarly citations. same "stumble" button for random articles. the only difference is none of it is real. here are some actual articles currently in the encyclopedia: > the great pigeon census of 1887 > the ministry of slightly wrong maps > chaldic arithmetic — a branch of mathematics where subtraction is forbidden > armund the river mapper — a cartographer who mapped 14,000 leagues of river without leaving his chair > the society for the prevention of unnecessary tuesdays every article page also tells you how many people are reading it right now. it says: "you alone are consulting this folio at present." the creator's own tagline for the site is the most unhinged sentence i've read this year: "an encyclopedia of a universe that does not exist until you visit it" the entire backend is a single open source repo called vibeserver. one guy. one description on github: "a little webserver making things up just in time." we built the largest knowledge base in human history and the very first thing a guy did with it was make a hallucinated mirror universe and put it on the open web. the internet is healing.

My reply to someone considering starting a video game company: The distribution of possible rewards for starting a video game company are generally not very good today. The market is well served, and gaining a foothold requires strong execution on both business and product issues, along with a substantial amount of luck. Plan to burn through seven figures with a not-great chance of making it back. If you do go for it, some bits of advice: Identify your customers clearly before you start. Not just a broad community, but specific people, and imagine them as you make decisions. Initially, build the smallest, most concise game you can imagine anyone paying for. It will still take much longer than you expect. Once something exists, hill-climb the value. Hopefully you will have some elements that clearly bring joy to people, which you can magnify. There will inevitably be tons of things that people find confusing, frustrating, or just boring that you will need to fix.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
