(I think LLMs doing image generation is a bit of an unlock here because it can more quickly communicate “OK so is something in this direction possible enough for you to draw sketches or am I asking for a functioning fusion reactor with inlaid Japanese lacquerwork.”)

Scaling Production: Technology Feasibility Beyond Imagination
By
–
That art piece doesn’t feel physically impossible. It feels like something which nobody has scaled production of. But the non-existence of it can be solved with more time than one would expect and probably less money than one would expect.

Personal search engine as external memory for professional knowledge
By
–
I have a pseudo-search engine for my own stuff which I use as an external memory aide, because a large portion of professionally relevant memory I want to keep is publicly available, as opposed to in a carefully maintained private notebook.

o3 Model Image Critique Test After Three Years
By
–

Who Builds AI Infrastructure Above Frontier Models?

So: who is building all of that? Clearly every company is not going to do it themselves on top of a frontier model on the backend, right?

Social Element: Learning from Previous Tool Usage Patterns
By
–
And there was a minor but important social element, where if e.g. you understood that I had previously used the tool for a particular area, and you were approaching that area yourself, in lieu of asking me what to do you could just sub search my previous usages and then guess.

Tools as Learning Environments for Analyst Skill Development
By
–
And then the tool itself was a learning environment, both because you could low-cost low-consequences play with it, but also because the same links to share results sprinkled in docs and Slack and PPT slides were self-documenting on How Did The Analyst Do That.

AI Tools Drive Skill Development Through Manager Incentive Alignment
By
–
And there were some fun consequences of that. One was that it produced immediate incentive compatibility for managers to say “Get good at SKILL”, which is something many people in industry might want but few might prioritize in 1:1s. Because tool was a force multiplier for it.

Internal Tools Design: Making Complex AI Accessible and Shareable
By
–
My previous employer once had an internal tool, which I’ll elide the details of. Using the tool well required a particular skill that many semi-technical people will develop. The tool also had a Share button on all the results and was very naturally internally viral.

Multiplayer LLM Access for Organizational Learning
By
–
I very much understand that public by default would not work for much LLM use. But I think you could greatly increase rate of learning within e.g. an org by making a primary way LLMs are accessed a surface which explicitly considered multiplayer use, maybe by default.
