I made 22 PRS today. There were only that many so that I could size them for human review. I got five critical ones to get reviewed. The rest are waiting until Monday now.

SOX SoD is the next battlefield. Unbelievable opportunity for startups over the next 18 months until the compliance with human review is reassessed.
Public company requirements for the separation of duties to have a human review code are the biggest AI inhibitor.

I have never seen the midnight oil burned by so many companies at once to rip a feature out.
I'd love to see the graph of app submission Apple is getting with the only changelog being "removes IAP"

so much of what I see coming out of vibe coders is just them creating things that can be done. Not that should or need to be done.
The democratization of the ability to build only makes the skill of understanding what to and what not to build more critical .

The Egyptian government had to pay MrBeast for that. That’s a greater dissemination of Egyptology across the world then you could ever get otherwise.

All policy fights come down where you want zero waste versus allowed slippage for impact.
conservatives; zero waste of tax dollars even if some eligible expenses are cut to ensure it
liberals; zero waste in environmental protections, even if regulations prevent some valid progress

I just learned that it's common for Chinese companies refuse to hire people who graduated during covid. They assume the education under restrictions was subpar.

The more correct take it asking what the got by giving it away.
No matter what DeepSeek cost, the important part is, they could afford to give it away.

The US has to race to get a open source reasoning model out. Distilling inbues "dark knowledge" and right now there is a CCP bias in every R1 distilled model.
The cost savings of distilling are to great, everyone is going to use the best reasoning model out there. We want it USA biased.

I would pay non-trivial money for an AI that lets me ask “the one where they turn baby mode and have a spinner to get the thing" and it would tell me what episode of the show my kids are talking about.

Man, does it suck for less tenured people looking for jobs, though. Right now may be the worst time to graduate in tech, and I graduated right before the 2008 Great Recession.
Feel free to reach out if you are a new grad or looking for a job. I’m happy to help however I can.

The game theory position is to wait. Companies need to see how AI capabilities manifest before making significant workforce investments. Everyone else is doing the same, so there's minimal business risk.

Companies with lower headcounts but effective AI implementation could gain significant pricing advantages. Those who overcommit to hiring now face difficult choices: either maintain an expensive workforce while losing market share or conduct layoffs that damage company morale and future recruiting.

How companies treat their workers builds lasting social capital, affecting everything from retention to recruitment. Each employee is a long-term investment, expected to become more valuable and more expensive over time. Yet AI could fundamentally change these traditional career progression.
