Happy birthday Ricky Jay. You’re truly missed. You took a lot of magic out of the world when you left. Rest in peace.

+@bradsling piece w/ 2 big ideas 1) Cloud providers need cost-efficient models while AI labs chase performance at any price 2) As compute gets cheaper, we're approaching an inflection point: when does AI reasoning power per dollar overtake knowledge worker salaries?
GOOGLE ABSOLUTELY HUMILIATES THE COMPETITION IN PRICE/PERF ! The race to the bottom is on! Just created this semi-log plot comparing LMARENA/LMSYS Elo vs. PRICE, and GOOGLE stands alone at the top ? (took me way too long to admit) If Gemini-Exp (1.5 Pro or 2.0) sticks to these prices, OpenAI and Anthropic are TOAST

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.

Roblox forcing parents to create their own accounts to juice q4 user numbers and the new system is still unlikely to protect kids on the platform. These folks should liquidate the company and move on for the sake of humanity. corp.roblox.com/families

A six step process where you now have to give Roblox your government ID to keep your kid safe. Seriously, just turn the servers off. This is one of the most negative sum businesses I have ever seen.

Reflecting on this essay on its five year anniversary - this part feels more true than ever: LLMs have further consolidated the role of tech platforms while also increasing the potential for destabilization of the slower moving pieces of Stewart Brand's Pace Layers.

Investors bizarrely cling to the idea of "Mr." Market driving stocks. There is no value in imagining a human or alien intelligence behind the complex interactions of algorithms, AI, and the humans that are entirely under the influence of algorithms and AI.
