This is a much different paradigm than paying a tool like ChatGPT $20/month. I'm sometimes spending $200+ a day on tasks for my AI Task-Employees and it gives me superhuman efficiency.

The modern browser extension API has done a good job balancing extensibility with security, and yet we’re still grappling with the consequences of browser extensions invading people’s privacy. Giving extensions more power would raise the stakes further. Still, we shouldn’t give up in the name of security—we should fight for extensibility as a value... See more

In the aftermath of the 2016 Presidential election, these attitudes radically shifted. For different reasons, both sides of the political spectrum began to immensely distrust the platform monopolies. The algorithmically curated streams that had once seemed so futuristic suddenly became Orwellian. Today, it’s not only acceptable to move more of your... See more

An hour of gaming at 100% attention > an hour of passively watching TV. Many games are also social, with multiplayer mechanics built into the core design. The most memorable stories are the ones we create and share with those who are close to us.

Many of these projects are saving time by training on small, highly curated datasets. This suggests there is some flexibility in data scaling laws. The existence of such datasets follows from the line of thinking in Data Doesn't Do What You Think, and they are rapidly becoming the standard way to do training outside Google

We assemble a dataset from 22 different robots collected through a collaboration between 21 institutions, demonstrating 527 skills (160266 tasks). We show that a high-capacity model trained on this data, which we call RT-X, exhibits positive transfer and improves the capabilities of multiple robots by leveraging experience from other platforms.

There are two major waves happening today that could accelerate the creation of a new generational storytelling company:

1. Consumer shift toward interactive media (over linear/passive media, i.e. TV/film)


2. Technology advancement driven by generative AI
