...ing system," then the status quo is terrible. A massive monolithic kernel, with huge amounts of ambient authority sloshing around everywhere. The only reason it was fine in the past is because zero-days were hard to find. They were underwate...
...leave is changing your gmail address for thousands of services. That would be a huge amount of fiddly labor. So it's largely a coordination cost moat.
...agram types and Myer's Brigg personality types. "Alex is ENFJ / 3w4" contains a huge amount of meaning in a tiny package. Humans would have to constantly unpack it to make sense of it, but LLMs can do that unpacking immediately and intuitive...
...ng with agent swarms, you're flying. A very small amount of interaction creates huge amounts of value. When you have to talk to a human, you're grounded. The leverage is small, you have to convince them and bring them along.
... uses your data. There's a massive, open-ended Terms of Service that reserves a huge amount of maneuvering space for Google. Google presumably actually does a small fraction of that… but they'll never tell you what fraction.
...gnitude higher than before. Every second you aren't feeding your agent swarm is huge amounts of value you aren't creating. You also know that others who are doing it will lap you. The infinite possibility creates a red queen race.
...s. It was overtaken by speculation and financialization. But it has also led to huge amounts of discovery of ideas and building. Some subset of those ideas will turn out to be extremely useful. What if you could take the good parts of crypto...
Tech gives huge amounts of leverage. That's why it's especially important that what we apply it to is resonant.
...emoable" to "usable" (especially to make it not just usable but also safe) is a huge amount of work, that LLMs don't do a great job at unless you tell them to. You need to know to tell them to. Many of the vibe coded apps that succeed in the...
In a new ecosystem the swarm is hunting for the new moats. Huge amounts of capital flowing in that will be "misspent" but also it's only possible to know which was 'correctly spent' in retrospect. Moats are relative. Eve...
...seful" in front of intelligence. You could imagine having two LLMs that require huge amounts of compute locked in an infinite debate spiral about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Or more likely: a red queen dynamic, where ever...
...a barbell. Two stable equilibriums with opposite logic. Reminder: r-selected is huge amounts of cheap offspring and k-selected is a very small number of very expensive offspring. Anything in the middle is pulled inexorably to one of the pole...
... some point inevitably stop using their orchestration system, after having sunk huge amounts of time and effort on it. The reason for this diversion is that humans are responsible for all of the mundane, mechanistic effort. An insight from a...
...it to, the user has to be managing the context and orchestrating--which takes a huge amount of mental effort and focus. What if you had an omnipresent little container that you could just speak or drop something into and it filed it away and...
...for exponential cost cure creates a charismatic trap. In the beginning, you get huge amounts of value for small amounts of effort. You then commit to that approach, but as you get further you start getting less and less return for more and m...
...world doesn't comply with your clean model. In a theoretical vacuum it can take huge amounts of time to coordinate with collaborators on what the good idea is. Whereas if you go for quantity you spend more time doing.[ahz] As you do, you see...
Single ply thinking combined with huge amounts of power is extremely dangerous.
...stems are also a mutual zone of proximal development. Coevolutionary loops give huge amounts of momentum. Because you have an adversary that is well matched and you keep on trying to get an edge, which leads them to match and find a new edge...
...e and coherent it self coheres. Until that point it has to have someone input a huge amount of continuous effort and force of will until it gets to that point. Default cohering vs default decohering. A seemingly small difference that is actu...
...ion they actually have, and if they missteer they can do a lot of damage, waste huge amounts of effort, and possibly crash the company. Companies start out handling like sports cars, and slowly as they grow start to handle like big rigs. You...
