As a kid I always wanted to be invisible. As an adult I discovered you just have to get on a bicycle and no one can see you at all.

David Ulevitch on how AI is transforming energy, defense, and logistics: "If you start at the most fundamental level, energy—we have an insatiable thirst for energy in this country, and AI compute is driving a huge amount of it." "AI compute will then power lots of things. It's not just going to power ChatGPT, but it's going to power autonomy systems, all kinds of other language models, and all other kinds of use cases." "If you look at defense, computer vision is transforming the battlefield." "Then you see AI transforming logistics... flight operations and planning using AI, so you can have the most efficient flight planning, save the most amount of fuel, and make sure that the least amount of flights get canceled." David Ulevitch 🇺🇸 on sourcery

Cheryl Hines Says It’s a ‘Little Surprising’ To See Republicans Are More Tolerant Than Democrats “On the left, some people are very emotional and upset. And then my experience with the right has been they have been accepting and warm and … they seem more willing to find common ground and just accept you as you are. So that's been a little surprising.”

This is very true. AI integration is both hard and necessary for companies. And AI-native junior employees can drive this adoption. Earlier this year Aaron Levie explained with martin_casado on the a16z podcast how AI fluency is one of the most powerful skills a new grad can have. The real value comes from knowing how to make AI work inside an organization. Most companies, both large and small, are slow to adopt new technology. They need people who can explain what AI can do, show them how to use it, and help them move faster. If you are fluent in AI, you can be that person. You can walk into a company, spot the areas where AI can save time or create new opportunities, and make it happen. That is a wedge into your first job and a way to stand out from everyone else.

I see so much about fighting games and people being upset (justifiably in some cases) about the state of them, SF6 incredibly long wait between characters, SNK's use of AI, 2XKO losing half it's staff, Tekken 8 kinda being a mess But I think more should support indie fighters

.Dwarkesh Patel says AGI won’t reshape the world by getting smarter. It will when it masters the tasks everyday people do. "A chatbot cannot edit videos for me." PhD-level intelligence doesn’t drive the economy. The real leverage comes from automating the mundane. Once AI can do that and scale itself, we’re looking at 20% growth and a self-compounding world.

Older people use ChatGPT as a Google replacement. People in their 20s and 30s use it as a life advisor. People in college use it as an operating system. Sam Altman discussed AI's generational divide, his vision for OpenAI to become your "core AI subscription" & more at AI Ascent.

Aaron Levie says agent-driven micropayments could create an entirely new business model for the internet: "We might have truly a completely different business model for the internet." "Now actually it's probably is a good business model. Because let's say you had paywalled, really proprietary data... You could actually imagine like there's maybe like a hundred million agents that would be tapping into that data for various use cases." "All of a sudden, a penny a transaction starts to make a lot more sense than it did when you were capped at... people that maybe was interested in your content previously." "We probably have new business models for tools and APIs... We probably want an agent to be able to have a budget and make any API call it wants, and all of a sudden you have this new revenue stream, which is like these agents showing up, just transacting on your system." Aaron Levie at Daytona Compute Conference

After analyzing more than 12,000 real-world AI use cases, researcher Marc Zao-Sanders found that people are increasingly turning to AI for practical help and entertainment, while some self-improvement uses—like organizing life, finding purpose, and healthier living—have fallen out of the top 10. One finding stood out: More than a quarter of the top use cases involve asking AI to do some of our thinking for us. Marc and his team call this "thinkslop": the lazy, sloppy thinking that can emerge when we rely on AI to form opinions, make decisions, or figure out what we think instead of doing that work ourselves. Find the top 100 use cases here: __ Editor's note: We reposted this to correct an earlier typo.

Marc Andreessen on the untapped potential of AI agents: "You could have an AI bot that basically raises money to make a movie and then spends the money on image generation and sound generation." "Maybe even hiring actors... set designers or graphic artists or... sound effects people, musicians." "Or let's take a more serious case... you could have an AI bot that's doing protein folding and literally coming up with cures, doing personalized medicine for cancer patients." "You could easily imagine having an economic mechanism for that... hypothetically, you could have the equivalent of like a GoFundMe, but on the blockchain, for people to basically be able to pay an AI bot to cure their cancer." Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸

Ben Horowitz: AI is the greatest equalizer of opportunity we’ve ever seen. "Starting from day one, it was completely democratized. The AI that anybody gets access to is a very powerful AI. Anybody with a phone—and now most people in the world, at this point, have smartphones—can get superintelligence in their phone." "Every child can have a super-advanced, amazing tutor/teacher. Great education is accessible to all now." “All systems end up with a lot of inequality, but you can try, systematically, to give everybody an opportunity. I think AI does a really good job of that.” Source: benahorowitz.eth on Invest Like the Best with Patrick OShaughnessy

"The most precious resource of our entire world is human capital." "When we have gotten the technology that can answer standardized tests... when AI can do better than an average human, it's not about humans are bad. It's about we need to change the education system." "We need to change how we evaluate. We need to change the way we empower teachers to educate the next generation of students where they can use these tools, be empowered, and do things that we can never imagine." "All of the kids today should not be scared of AI. They should feel the human agency to lead AI, to use AI in the right way, and to use AI to make the impact that they want to make for the world."

AI doesn’t erase expertise, it compounds it. “Be really good at a particular field, and then AI is merely a turbocharger of your capability in that field.” History shows it’s always the experts who benefit first, then the tools spread and more people become experts. This is Jevons paradox all over again. Aaron Levie Steven Sinofsky martin_casado
