AI can save lives

1. Make requirements less dumb: Question requirements to remove unnecessary work

2. Delete a part or process: Delete parts or processes that are unnecessary

3. Simplify and optimize: Take a holistic view of the project and simplify or optimize the design

4. Accelerate cycle time: Move faster in the right direction, but only after the first three steps are satisfied

5. Automate: Automate everything that can be automated

Junior dev trainings be like.

Irrational self belief.

Damn!
"Attention is All You Need" ( Transformers Paper) was inspired by the Alien's communication style in the movie Arrival.

When?

Can Europe build its first trillion-dollar start-up?
Can Kenya Build its first billion dollar startup?
Can Ethiopia build its first 100 million dollar startup?

When?

Or is it only the US and China that will truly and effectively accelerate going forward?

Where Asia leapfrogged and leads the West.

ie. The world will learn the art of 10 minute delivery from India.

'LLM agents live inside of semantics the way we live inside of physics'

I heared A board member at OpenAI saying this... apt metaphor

Test-time compute

Hold a value workshop to ensure customers are experiencing the promised value. If they aren’t, this is the chance to determine why and address the issue.

Ilya Sutskever finally confirmed

> scaling LLMs at the pre-training stage plateaued
> the compute is scaling but data isn’t and new or synthetic data isn’t moving the needle

What’s next

> same as human brain, stopped growing in size but humanity kept advancing, the agents and tools on top of LLMs will fuel the progress
> sequence to sequence learning
> agentic behavior
> teach self awareness

Think of it as the “iPhone”, which kept getting bigger and more useful from hardware point, but plateaued and the while focused shifted to applications.

2025 will be the year of Agents!
