I'm writing an article on this very topic as I develop my Silly Business Theory #SBT. Cultural capital, or the broader social capital, has always mattered more than financial capital. Consider how the sovereign of a nation can kick out its creditors, but the sovereign can only

One of the hard things to understand about Wittgenstein is that his view of logic deepened his faith in the metaphysical. By showing the boundaries of logic, he showed the necessary existence of that which is beyond the boundary of logic; and so, arguing any metaphysical point

Alternative take: the US taking 5% of OAI makes sense. Its a dividend on the public conditions that made the company possible. And China didn’t dominate EVs, batteries, solar, drones, telecom by pretending strategic tech is just software Industrial strategy with upside

Fable is a good reminder that the frontier of capability is not the frontier of economic viability. Until they can figure out inference margins and alignment trade-off, it’s roughly in the same awkward spot as Opus until mid 2025.

Exactly! While individual programs can be limited by their expressivity, aggregating multiple of them can produce a better evaluator. Moreover, even if we route back to an LLM evaluator at the end, running programs as checkers first doesn't take much longer and gives us instant

Of course, love me some confirmation bias! DCLM was for text, DCVLM is the same for vision: analyzing VLM data mix across scales. Filtering is no bueno, but the "type" mixing matters, with unfortunately (but imo expectedly) the best small-scale mix != the best mid-scale mix.

On the heels of reports that META is exploring a move into compute-as-a-service like xAI, Mark Zuckerberg told an internal town hall that AI agent development over the last four months hasn’t accelerated 'in the way we expected'. The race continues to narrow.

The OAI/Thrive "self-improving tax agents" blogpost is an interesting example of both: 1) LLMs' ability to do scaffold-only self-improvement in a sufficiently terraformed work environment. 2) LLM prose mutilating an interesting project into something almost indecipherable.

Ethan Mollick @emollick 2026-07-02 17:01Z

Continual learning is probably the biggest barrier to explosive AI adoption (& may have big implications for recursive self-improvement as well) As long as you deal with amnesiac models that require humans to do the learning for them, adoption will be gated by human processes.

As lower-backed NFTs leave the protocol, the price to purchase drifts upward automatically, as it's the harmonic mean of all assets in the pool. No oracles needed, still split among all assets equally.
