@emilymbender why so much hate, it’s easy to find flaws if that is what you are looking for. Why ignore the great power and productivity gain just to focus on the fine print of a document that is, in the broad scheme of things, not very relevant.

@anuatluru @paigefinnn gotta mention the raw talent. everything you hear in a live set is produced in the moment. he will play a drum pad, piano and sing simultaneously. the ability to feed from the crowd and adjust the droves and bpm to suit the moment connects him way deeper to his audience.

meta will win personalised ai agents. they’re commoditising the LLM layer & pivoting differentiation to proprietary data where they have a huge advantage. through using the meta suite we communicate exactly how we feel and what we’re thinking.

@willobri interesting. I think some of the problems that non profits have historically pursued would benefit from capitalist structures and incentives. for example I think homelessness would be more effectively solved if we could align capital incentives.

@OpenAI as a for profit company can we avail of this if we incorporate a non profit parent co? also we might create a misaligned non profit board that muddy the waters more, would we be entitled to a bigger discount if this were the case?

important footer note from WWDC. the OpenAI partnership isn’t exclusive. they repeatedly said that other models would be available to use w/ siri. similar strategy & belief to meta - the models will be interchangeable/commoditised and value will accrue to data/platform owners.
