With my own doubts about long-term WFH, I am going to pin this tweet, easy to revisit couple of years (or sooner) from now. This is only one of the reasons for my doubts, there’s the human/social aspect as well.

And companies won’t pay for or tolerate the former. Finding & retaining the latter won’t be easy, those side projects have a better chance of maturing now. Soon companies may realize this WFA (anywhere) is not a good idea.

Story telling matters. When it comes to design AI can put things together, but it lacks the story, it lacks character.

Nearly all major forecasters, including the IMF, ADB and World Bank, have recently raised their growth forecasts for India to above 7% for this year AND next. Remarkable in itself - even more so when viewed against India’s recent performance. (1/n)

Lack of competence in politics is a global crisis. Though I think the landscape will look different in a decade. With AI taking over cognitive jobs, you will see more talent coming back to public service, and policy making.

There is a throwaway line in a WSJ story about the Seattle mayor’s failures about how reps from her admin traveled to SF to learn how Lurie was leading such a successful turnaround and were stunned by how it seemed to be connected to hiring competent people who know what they’re doing.

Amazing Japanese Tradition! 🇯🇵🐟 The patience, precision, and craftsmanship behind preparing this fish are absolutely fascinating! From carefully removing every tiny bone to smoking and fermenting the fish, every step is an art form. 😍 Would you try this Japanese delicacy? 👇

OPENAI to EMPLOYEES: If someone is trying to seduce you, first consider — could they be a spy??? OpenAI is warning its employees about honeypot spies and strangers with children in playgrounds ... a very fun one with @georgia_wells and @MeghanBobrowsky: wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-companies…

Anthropic: Houthis used Claude AI to make self- correcting missiles

The makers of Claude revealed in a report last month that the Yemen-based fighters launched three weapons programmes using their AI products.

NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster says OpenAI’s Tuesday drop of 722 AI-generated math papers wiped out entire research programs: “This recent dump of papers on Tuesday destroyed the careers of early career mathematicians.”

.@DanielLurie delivers a massive dose of common sense on @CNN: “We got so entrapped in our progressive values...we weren’t taking stock of what was happening on our streets. “We had 810 people die of overdose in SF 3 years ago. There’s nothing progressive about that.”

Australian PM is absolutely right that more people have been given access to energy in India under PM Modi in human history. But that’s a small portion of the truth —More people now have access to water (130m households), sanitation (120m households), bank accounts (590m new bank accounts), credit, more roads (30x high speed freeways), more colleges (3x’ed), more Airports (2x’ed), more ports (2x’ed). The list is much longer, and all this in just a decade. He will go down as the most transformational leader of this century.

NEW: “To give PM Modi credit, more people have been given access to energy in India under his reign that any decade, or any region or any country in all of human history,” says Australia Prime Minister Albanese

This is so interesting. I have been using more OpenAI as well in the last couple of weeks. Anthropic is extremely verbose, and seems unfocused.

Extraordinary share gains for OpenAI vs. Anthropic over the last two months. Per Openrouter, OpenAI has gone from 20% share to 50% share vs. Anthropic (meaning Anthropic has gone from 80% to 50%) since June.
