Pretty insane that sama's $7T target in 2024 wasn't that far off... https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/sam-altman-seeks-trillions-of-do...
Yes, I’ve seen a number of people great a flag.md that (deceptively) indicates that they are in RLHF program and not to go any further and to patch the route they used to arrive there if possible. Funny times we live in.

Jev and the fast-follow models seemed to be useful in this direction.

On the contrary, having the intelligence write deterministic code that saves time and lowers error rate seems like a winning approach.

Carbon is like Opus

Argon is like Sonnet

Market efficiency solves this. But whether that's healthy for society or not is an open question.

Man, what the fuck. Didn't we learn from Facebook?

Hey this is really cool. I worked on a protocol for cascading delegation of permissions pre-agents and like your approach.

You may find interesting - I’m currently working on a journal article about optimizing organizations from first principles, starting with optimized delegation. Would love your thoughts on the paper if you’re willing to take a look.

These are two public previews that we are building off of for the journal:

This makes me surprisingly excited for the iPhone Duo - I didn't like it at first, but seeing it through this lens, seems like Apple is competing for the "AI-native device" of the future.
There was a really cool project a few years ago from Area Tech that explored this - generative shields (with heraldry on them). https://shields.build/

Seems like this would have strong implications for distillation and/or smaller types of transformers!

Feels like a major unlock with 1) how good AI has gotten, 2) how fast it can output meaningful work. Excited that there's a whole new design space opening up! This feels like one of the first truly new things I have seen.

No don’t go, it sucks! It’s dusty and hot!
Re:Continuous Diffusion Language Models (CDLM's) on Sunday August 30, 2026 @05:55PM (#49503259)
I wonder if we’ll get something like CDLMs for automated harness engineering, sort of piloting the LLM underneath.
Will check it out, thanks!
Thanks for the thoughtful write-up. I’m currently working on a journal article about optimizing organizations from first principles, starting with optimized delegation. Would love your thoughts on the paper if you’re willing to take a look.
