"Even if agents like Operator were able to work flawlessly, the "last mile" for these workflows involves unspoken rules and subtle judgment that people cannot easily articulate in words to prompt the agent. With the expense report example, there are exceptions like handling international charges or ambiguous receipts that rely on understanding unspoken rules that AI agents cannot figure out today."

This is not a difficult problem to solve. The way you train humans to do the task is to have them first do everything they know for sure and escalate the ambiguous cases to their supervisors for clarification. By seeing how their supervisors handle ambiguity, they learn those rules and know how to handle such cases in the future. AI agents will do the same.

I would like to see the folks from All In bringing a guest from the "other side". All I seem to be able to find on the internet as people in their echo chambers preaching to the converted. Bringing somebody smart and articulate like Timothy Snyder or Mark Cuban or somebody anybody.

We already have Calcanis representing the other side. One is more than enough.

Yeah, no. Maybe at one time he did, but he certainly isn't now. The rest of the All In gang is way smart enough to see that. I am torn, because I love listening to All In, but I want to see them mix it up with a worthy adversary. That's my hope, that super smart people can sit down and air their differences with somebody like @snyder in this kind of forum.

Re. limitations of AI agents like operator - I think this can be solved for quiet easily if approached by a company trying to solve this vertically with domain knowledge. OpenAI is the horizontal godfather of AI but if you leech on to their capabilities and add in domain knowledge of accounting experts to mimic how an accounting firm would review charges and receipts, it looks to be quiet an easy challenge to overcome.

That’s what I’m personally seeing with legal AI agents that I’m working on atm.

An interesting read

the human brain consist of microplastics and nanoplastics

The microplastics article is fascinating. I would love to know which plastics are more harmful to us and if certain populations are more vulnerable to microplastic exposure.

Love your work Chamath

All in is fantastic

Please share this with the guys

I think Sacks may like it

Fight! Fight! Fight

with a fist resolute

stares down his sniper

with fearless repute

Others would dive

take cover and cower

Cometh the man

cometh the hour

Here’s a guy that wears

a combover proud

Has an orange spray tan

and is a little too loud

Here’s a guy that

doesn’t care what they say

He’s gonna do it right

and do it his way.

Here’s a guy

that the dems detest

along with therians, trans and well you know the rest.

Here’s a guy that talks no BS

Twice he’s come in to clean up their mess.

To rebuild his wall

that a puppet pulled down

Don’t start me on Biden

man what a clown

pour Biden just stood there

and took all the flack

While the demi elites

put knives in his back

Here’s a guy that

just cuts through red tape

With his sharpie anew

EO’s will reshape

From Paris to tariffs

to border control

Sickem doge

may bloated heads roll.

Speak freely my friends

don’t fear to be heard

For woke will no longer

be the last word

Now males and females

can identify as such

Finally a minority

wont dictate so much

Now the man is not perfect

He’d be the first to agree

But you know what he stands for

O’er the land of the free

Love him or hate him

It must be said he’s got balls

There’s a new sense of purpose

in these republican halls

Surrounded by a team

unlike any before

May they reshape the values

Our fathers fought for

So dear Mr Trump

I wish you Godspeed

On all that you do

And on every good deed

When history looks back

Upon your term, and upon thee

May well you be judged

and may she smile happily.
