This year I just used Gemini Pro, asked a few questions to get started. Oh is it too late in the year? “Suboptimal but you should be fine.” Dive in. Take a pic, am I doing this right? “Cut it a little further down and clean it up” Oh here’s something weird what do I do? Etc etc. Invaluable assist

For example, I’ve struggled with keeping some bushes under control because you’re supposed to prune them in a particular way at a certain time of year. Spring rolls around, oh I should trim them, let me remind myself how, find conflicting info so check multiple sources, end up on specialty Reddit, ☠️

At least in my experience. Not formally ADHD but sometimes I wonder, and I definitely deal with tons of inertia trying to learn *everything* before doing a thing. And usually taking so long to do that my window for doing it closes, or knowing this will happen dissuades me from even starting

The ADHD individual is Popeye and the LLM is the spinach, giving them a hyper concentrated dose of targeted information sufficient to get them through the thing before they get distracted and go down a rabbit hole

This is actually an all timer “so close to getting it post”. The thing you acknowledge could lead to reasoning happened. Two years ago. With the minor caveat that it’s the model talking to itself. And that’s directly responsible for the very achievements you’re skeptical of. Incredible

It’s not really secret sauce, and it’s not just Claude. AI vendors have been developing “reasoning” models since late 2024, and they do the “interactions between agents” internally. Break down problem, research data as needed, pursue multiple approaches, critique and revise candidate responses

Oh this feels relevant to your broader point, but I don’t know how to put it into practice. Maybe it’s related to the helpful bot idea you mentioned, or maybe it’s as simple as sharing success stories more. bsky.app/profile/edda...

I’d argue that there’s value in teaching how to evaluate what comes out of AI than how you put info into it. How to verify information, how to sense what *needs* verification and what you can take at face value, how to avoid confirmation bias, etc. Critical thinking is key to maximizing these tools

I’m old enough to remember an online left that believed copyright is theft, information wants to be free, no one owns the commons, and the internet should be open. Pretty sure the consistent stance is LLMs are fine, they should be open source, and everyone should have free access to SOTA models

Some are. But the mental model of “statistical model that predicts what comes next” is no longer usefully descriptive when the response is the sum total of what I described rather than just the prompt you entered into the chat window. Particularly when it runs in a loop until it gets a good answer

Cool Ed @eddasaurus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Layers that intercept the prompt and do things with it. Things like deconstruct the prompt to see what data needs to be fetched or external tools need calling, generate a detailed plan of attack, farm off work to subsystem LLMs, combine the results of it all to generate a candidate answer and review

Cool Ed @eddasaurus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Your description has been incomplete and outdated for over two years now. Tool use, integrated search, reasoning models, multi-modal, agent swarms, etc. The statistical model you describe is still in there but there are many layers on top of it

Not the main point but what the fuck is up with this picture? What is it trying to convey? Is the crow mixed into the mystery meat? Is the crow the one that put all those broken eggs on top of the ground beef? What’s with the diced vegetables? World’s shittiest steak tartare???

Slight modification of the infamous Cody Rhodes tweet where he nuked the disco dickhead. Text of the modified tweet reads:

Cody Rhodes @CodyRhodes
Stop. You know nothing. You have drawn 0 dollars. No fan has ever left a show thinking about you.
You were lucky to be a juiced up double-lifer "RELATED TO ROMAN" type in an era where you hid in plain sight coasting on others' success. Couldn't hang then, can't get booked now.

That’s a ceiling, not a projection. Total addressable market is basically the entire universe that they could potentially sell into, which is important for investors to know how much room to grow there *could* be. Challenges to capture that market, competition, etc, are all implicit and expected

It’s not just higher demand, it’s also more varied. If I’m an enterprise client serving 4o for an internal chatbot I built maybe I don’t need the latest tier of GPUs. And perhaps more importantly, speed and failure rate are not huge problems with async RL runs to improve reasoning functionality
