Moravec's paradox: AI can solve the Navier-Stokes problem but not do the job of Mary from accounting.

Hey @elonmusk, the right place to put a car's dashboard is on the steering wheel, automatically adjusted to stay horizontal when the wheel turns.
OpenAI and Anthropic’s real moat is the massive amount of compute they’ve secured.
PSA: Math and coding are the two most black-and-white fields there is, and AI's success in them does not easily generalize to others. Jumping from "AI solved a math problem" to "AI will kill us all" is not just absurd; it's deranged.

Anthropic is so modest it didn’t include the rest of the galaxy in its total addressable market.
AI so far is an orgy of stuff by geeks for geeks, and for everyone else there's a chat box. Whoever figures out a better way will make OpenAI and Anthropic look puny.
Surprise: Kimi was distilled from Fable.
