They are very much useful, I even have an example in the beginning. They wouldn’t be plundered from the zones and sold for crazy money if they weren’t useful. I’m also not saying that what AI is dropping now is akin to alien artifacts. I’m posing the question of whether it may get there.
Usefulness doesn’t always rely on understanding. And it’s not a new thing in mathematics to have an answer without fully understanding it. We’re talking about a change in the rate of that happening, not a new phenomenon in itself.
I am Russian, read it in the original. But I'm scarred by being forced to read meandering classics from a very young age, so I may just have a more visceral negative reaction to it that I have to get over.
I tried "Monday Begins on Saturday" and had a pretty hard time getting through it. But I have to give it another chance - and check out the ones you mentioned.
Fair, “answers” is probably more precise than “knowledge.” That gap between answers and understanding is the whole point of the post, so I think we mostly agree.
It doesn't assume, it just observes. It has the capacity to use computers better than us, more persistently, in a more scalable way, to solve problems we haven't solved before like Navier-Stokes and many more to come. You can argue all you want about whether it's intelligent or not and what it means, but the solution is now here for us to process, understand, and integrate forward into our model of the world.
Yep it's the OG literary version. Very much worth a read.

I think devil’s in the details on all of your examples, although I very much agree with your overall point - it’s so nuanced in terms of timing, current capabilities, etc.
Re: chatbots were tried but it’s a wrong model for a deterministic system. It’s the best one for a probabilistic one.
Re: chatGPT auto-router - 1) I suspect explicit model selection matters less in agentic contexts (this thing is coordinating a bunch of other agents for me) vs QA context where you want to make sure you’re getting the best answer. 2) I suspect auto-routing matters less now that models are way better
Didn’t help Google, Apple, or Amazon to do the same even though they have market position and pre-existing AI products.
Then Tibo is on X asking things like “If we were to add one more sidebar, what should be in it”
It does not at all. ChatGPT is trying to be an everything app and it’s extremely convoluted by this point and hard for most people to make sense of, especially if you’re not in tech.
That’s pretty much the question the article tries to answer! TL;DR - good product design, personality mechanics, and ad-funded tokens is what makes it different.
Those are all quite mature products which they have maintained and grew super well. They haven’t had a good track record in consumer AI, there’s no coherent product strategy or offering. They had some localized hits like NotebookLM and nano banana but it hasn’t translated into organic growth and usage for Gemini

Like any side project, Remarc started with my own problem: there was no good way to give AI coding agents contextual feedback on their own output.
There are plenty of tools for collaborating with humans, but surprisingly few for collaborating with AI. Chat was not cutting it for the feedback I wanted to give:This thing in the implementation plan? Change it to that. What did you mean here? See...
