It’s almost incomprehensible how wide the distance is between someone who’s working at the frontier with AI and basically everyone else right now.
The crazy thing is these lines are not converging, but only growing farther apart. If the curve of AI progress had leveled off, it would certainly have given most people and companies time to catch up or implement their workflows in a standardized way. The technology would have neutralized competitive advantage because everyone would be using it the same way.
But what’s happened is the opposite. The curve of AI progress is basically going vertical right now, which means if you had codified your processes 3-6 months ago you’re likely already behind again. Now imagine most companies that kicked into gear a year ago and thought that they were done. Even further behind now.
I’ve never seen a technology in my life and career that improves at this rate, which consequently means you need to upgrade your expectations at a similar rate. Our brains weren’t wired for this, and our organizational change management processes certainly weren’t either.
With any form of recursive self improvement, things just get wilder. It’s a time when you will need to be constantly reevaluating the things that didn’t work just a couple months ago to see if they now can be solved. AI native companies certainly have a strong advantage due to this right now, so now it comes down to can the bigger companies keep up. Wild times.

every product i use should just be a headless mcp, that feeds into an agent, where i never have to think about anything underneath.
except for our product, of course.
in our product, customers love the ui and love us very much.
we're special that way.

biglaw could massively boost PPP by training senior lawyers on AI and having them use agents like they do associates
they don't do this because of a mix of inertia and the fact that all biglaw firms are in a weird conspiracy of preserving the collective hallucination of 'special sauce' prestige
the first mover on this in the AMLaw 50 would get FUDDed by every other similar firm as going the way of commodization etc., they literally could not compete against this because if they lower their rates to show how much more efficient they now are, that will just be further evidence of loss of prestige
it's a very weird market, it should not be this way but it's almost impossible to change
supposedly companies are seeing almost zero AI benefit
but i've seen capable in house lawyers hoover up vast amounts of outside legal spend, jr associates would have almost no purpose if law firms unleashed Fable, and Barclays just cut 5k jobs, much à la AI efficiency claims, so the Apollo economist's claims seem dubious or trailing reality
regardless which of the views is true tho, we could or will soon be able to use Muse, GPT, Kimi or even Grok or Gemini--it's the streaming wars
AI infrastructure spend will be $3.5T (the subprime market was an inflation-adjusted $2.13T)
not good

They said “Matt - you’re not allowed to make the firm swag” and I think they were probably on to something

Jason is 100% right. Code red. 🚨

Law firms are furious Anthropic requires a minimum spend before negotiating contract terms, which is awkward because that's also our entire business model.

On this day in 1962, Dr. No—the first James Bond film—premiered.
Bond sports a Rolex Submariner wristwatch. The Rolex Submariner is waterproof to 330 feet thanks to inventor Jean Perret who was issued U.S. Patent No. 3,362,154.

The only generation that knows how computers work is also the most relaxed about AI:

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

i think about this a lot
Marc @Benioff says he started Salesforce after he got a vision while swimming with a pod of 100 dolphins in Hawaii:
"I was one with the pod."
"I pay attention to my dreams. I pay attention to my visions, my insights.
"Salesforce started because I was swimming with a pod of dolphins outside the coast of Hawaii, where I live. About 100 dolphins. I was one with the pod. And when I was one with the pod, all of a sudden in my mind, I saw this vision of what Salesforce could look like."
"I went to Larry Ellison and said, 'Hey I think I'm going to quit my job.' He gave me $2 million, and we started Salesforce. That was 26 years ago."

If “all humans” is >10%, I am scared to know what the odds are for “a lot of humans”!
Jason Harrier retweeted
Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
