This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪
Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

In some orgs, relationships are used as a gatekeeping differentiator among peers. When someone tells u to go to so & so cuz “they have the relationships,” take note of the names—& build those relationships yrself. It pays off, esp when u need a straight-line path to data for your agentic AI products

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Is everyone else also working through an AI ‘Wild West’ at your company? Building, but still wrangling with platform and tooling because there isn’t a stack the tech org has endorsed? (I’m in a regulated industry)

Leaders are trained to be opinionated w/ a strong POV. In AI dev, a technical leader unwilling to experiment w/ diff approaches & implementation run the risk of ‘subpar opinions strongly held’. For lean teams, it’s important to have > 1 expert, self-taught/trained, for technical decision making.

Building AI products in an enterprise setting will further magnify all the organizational issues you/your leaders thought you/they could put off - role ambiguity, unclear decision rights, every step of the way.

I have a strong feeling generative AI is going to end up like crypto. Ethically questionable, solves a narrow set of problems, lots of broken promises that don’t live up to the hype and yet a bunch of people get incredibly rich along the way.

I wonder if soon enough, it’ll be in vogue to be an unpolished writer, knowing every other person probably gets an LLM to write for them. It’s like, that unassuming guy who doesn’t have the slickest clothes or smoothest speech always ends up being the most charming.

Was wondering why OpenAI chose to showcase images in the style of Japanse art studio Studio Ghibli - but not, Disney characters, Marvel comics etc.
I suspect b/c Japan is the only major country that made training on copyrighted works legal.
Expect no other country to follow after this…

Calling machine learning algorithms "artificial intelligence" has to be the greatest rebranding effort in history. The amount of people who legitimately think these things are some kind of futuristic new technology is incredibly depressing

W/ the hype around agents, leadership is more important than ever. Tech is no longer the moat but how well you understand where humans & systems *should intersect (design), how clear you can see where the value lies (analytics),& if your culture celebrates healthy ethical debates (leadership).

What amazing things will an LLM powered Siri enable us to do that we absolutely need to do? I'm asking that, because that's the critical question. Is that going to drive business elsewhere. LLMs hallucinate. Apple cares about user experience. They generally don't rush things to market.
