The web is just a better frontend/GUI platform.

"better" is relative.

Web is very ubiquitors. Works on desktop, works on phone, works on raspberry pi, works via cli, agent can browse it, human can browse it.

All you need is a url. You can pass via word of mouth.

The problem with web, is it got complex and jammed. So native apps still have an edge in performance and what they can access in platform.

Google and Apple make billions from their app store fees. So they're not too interested in web apps being as powerful and efficient as native apps.

The web is phenomenal though.


You are just being downvoted, but people like you deserve more severe punishments for the state of tech AD 2026.

People like you are getting hacked by north Koreans installing ugly desktop apps, a much worse state.

Lack of customers*. SpaceXaitwitter has some big beautiful idle datacenters with all GPUs ready to use.

> could there be a molecule that does the opposite?

Yes! It's sugar. And yes, it's highly addictive.


Is anybody missing the Pelicans posts at the top of the AI threads? I don't.


It seems you just don't wanna see the bubble. Or maybe there isn't a bubble and that's your call to invest more? Amodei would be happy.


Oh, I see it. I’m just thinking 5–10 years down the line not short-term volatility.

Could there be more ChatGPT moments down the line in other areas like science, genetics, space and something we haven’t considered? I think there’s a chance.

I also think AI is here to stay and there may be some confirmation bias from the community regarding open source models. It’s like someone saying back then that Linux was going to take over… (?) Open source software seems to be served for technical people. Not for the average Joe looking for an answer or help generating a social media post or help writing an email.


Indeed, ML is here to stay. But there's a difference between biology/chemistry and math, e.g. There isn't enough data out there on which to train MLs for the former.

I'm thinking here of LLMs as a lossy compression of all our published knowledge. And then agents doing some smart/heuristic search relative to that. They can surely find things that we have missed -- just because they'll tireless try all avenues of investigation that humans might have given up on -- but if the underlying data is not there they can't manufacture it.

LeCun has made this point elsewhere wrt world models and more ordinary physics. This issue is exaggerated in the case of biophysics and quantum mechanics.


Do you think another word, stronger this time, will motivate "people" to do more? (Not the companies, which should be compelled by governments).


Well marketing evidently moves a huge amount of the populance and it requires very few but extremely well-placed phrases and slogans to work so yeah. You just need to move a small fraction of the voting population to shift the political panorama.


The crime of hyping your own solution against trillion dollar companies


My LinkedIn was full of jev specialists until a few days ago


Yeah no, it's too early to make any of these calls so the title is clickbait, the article thesis is false.


What a low quality hit piece.
