PSA: if the job description says on-site SF and not on-site/remote or hybrid, and you still don't want to move, please don’t send the message asking if it's possible to make an exception for you. Especially when I'm hearing from you for the first time. I moved my family from Croatia to SF to build this company and there are people asking if they can fly in from Paris twice a year and make it work. I'm sure remote/hybrid works very well for some of the most well-established companies out there, but most of us do well by coming to work together in one place. Totally fine if that's not for you but don't make absurd requests and waste either of our time.

People think of agents as " This will help me do X." That is correct but incomplete. What they don't internalize is that the agent actually has to go out and do the thing. It hits the same walls a human would. It needs access. So it needs credentials and tools to navigate systems that weren't built for it. The agent can only do what you've equipped it to do.

An agent won’t infer a pivot table It won’t sit there and think through an entire spreadsheet in its head. It’ll just open Excel and execute the command. The same way you don’t navigate by memory anymore. You open maps and point. The ratio of thinking to doing is not 1:1. It never was for humans either. So the CPU demand coming from agents at scale is going to dwarf what anyone is currently planning for.

Every time an agent executes, it offloads from the GPU to the CPU. For one agent, that's fine. But what if you have to factor in a trillion agents doing that simultaneously? The number of CPUs we will need to offload that work is going to be staggering. We're far from having that kind of supply.

My inbox right now is completely nuts. My EA and Grok Bot try to clear it and it just keeps filling back up. Texts, whatsapps, emails, DMs, everything is flooded with congratulatory messages, sales/hiring pitches, partnership offers and whatnot. I'm sure there are a bunch of genuine ones from my mutuals / our well wishers too I'm really sorry if I haven’t been able to reply back to any of you. It’s a mess so I've just let it be for now.
