> but google is stock in the academic bias of Stanford and MIT and can't think outside the box

Can you clarify what you mean? I am not sure I follow.

Highly recommend using agent based hooks for things like `[review & test]`.

At a basic level, they work akin to git-hooks, but they fire up a whole new context whenever certain events trigger (E.g. another agent finishes implementing changes) - and that hook instance is independent of the implementation context (which is great, as for the review case it is a semi-independent reviewer).

It seems that perhaps neither are inherently 'good models'? What would an ideal alternative look like?

...and all of that done without any GPUs as far as i know! [1]

they 100% are unless you provide a RUBRIC / basically make it ordinal.

"Return a score of 0.0 if ...., Return a score of 0.5 if .... , Return a score of 1.0 if ..."

Very similar usage duration / window for me (US Pacific) - no availability issues.

To put some numbers to trying to develop a single therapy (where candidates etc. will fail as you try them)

- Plan to sink $180-500M+ just in R&D

- Factor in failures, regulatory, clinical, recruitment, phase 1/2 trials and you arrive very quickly around $1.3-2.1 BILLION USD per therapy approved.

...there is a 90% chance that you will spend that $1B+ - and it will fail completely.

fwiw towards your theory, I believe that the US Govt actually considers cloud providers - by way of specific services offered "dual use" systems for mil or civil use.

E.g. you will find references in AWS docs to Bureau of Industry/Security rulings.

Really good call out re: email and other 'side-flows' - hopefully there is integration with something like Mailosaur.

> nor are they...able to mutate themselves to gain new information on the fly

See "Self-Adapting Language Models" from a group out of MIT recently which really gets at exactly that.

...not monetized yet: Can't find the post, but a prev. HN post had a link to an article showing that OpenAI had hired someone from Meta's ad service leadership - so I took that to mean it's a matter of time.

edit: believe it was Fidji Simo et al.

Ahh thank you for catching - apologies I didn't see this in time to add a correction.

Related:

KingJamesProgramming [1] - a mashup of Knuth books [2] and the King James Bible with a Markov chain, is still one of my favorite reads for a laugh.

It was also the first place I was really exposed to probabilistic-based methods for generation of novel content.

You get gems like:

"they smote the city with the edge of the sword. 22:20 And one of his main motivations was the high cost of proprietary software houses."

and

"37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and leave it for an inheritance unto the children of Gad according to the number of steps that is linear in b."

I'm typically pretty critical of PM oriented pieces, but I found this to be a decent overview of how to reason about building these systems from first principles + some of the non-tech pain points + how to address them.

Very good catch. For all my interest this space, it's embarrassing that I did not remotely see this coming...

This crosses into many aspects of life:

I train Brazilian jiu jitsu and MMA. In our gym, we have a giant sign that says:

"A black belt is a white belt who refused to give up"

Basic translation: You can achieve the highest possible rank [Black belt] if you just keep showing up and enjoy the process.
