So much this. Most high intensity tech bros and VCs don’t realise that the average Joe or Satish books maybe 1-2 flights / trips a year and buys 1 high value capital purchase. Both are occasions, they discuss with family / friends , keep tabs open for weeks and enjoy checking in to confirm their flight. The regular person , just doesn’t need an agent that can do 300 different tasks. They will go to brands and destinations they already highly value or trust to make their experience a bit more relevant/ easier.

$META VP Jagjit Chawla reveals he screens AI PM candidates by asking them to write an eval for a bath towel "I'll take a very simple example, and I use this in my interviewing to decide whether someone can actually think like an AI PM." "If I was to say, write an eval for how do you evaluate bath towels, something that you come out of the shower and you're going to use to dry yourself." "This is a very random question, but I would say you could come up with, if you really think about this, you can come up with dimensions, how quickly does this thing dry? How does this feel on my face? Is it cotton or nylon? Does it have any chemicals that I should worry about?" "You can come up with like four or five dimensions and then you can rate that." "So then given a set of 100 bath towels, you could rate them on all these five dimensions and that becomes your eval set." "So when then presented the next bath towel, you could say if it was to get rated on these five dimensions, where does it stand in terms of what I think this would be a good towel, a medium quality towel, or a no quality towel."

Astra (GPT-6) is here!!! I've had early access and tested it like crazy with things like games, code, writing, browser control, presentations and general knowledge work. This is the best model I've ever used. Period. (Incredible demos below in this thread ⬇️) Here's my take on Astra: > It's insanely capable. This feels like a massive improvement, not just an incremental change. This is especially true with zero-shot prompts. > It's all about knowledge work. Slide creation, analysis, writing, and browser control. And oh my...it's so good at browser control. GPT-5.6 was already fantastic at doing things in the browser, Astra is another level and significantly faster. > We're closer than ever (arrived?) at prompt-to-playable game. And I don't just mean only playable, these are actually fun games. I bet if someone with a great eye for games used Astra, they could create a viral game within 1-2 weeks. > Astra is better at writing but not perfect. It removes much of the "AI Smell" we're all familiar with but some stink still survived. > It has a tendency to use the same design colors and look/feel as GPT-5.6 (forrest green anyone?) but it is more steerable in design than previous models. > It's highly steerable in general. A little nudge goes a long way. When I first started using Astra, almost every task I gave it would go for ~30 minutes. I wanted it to keep working. Adding more specifics to a prompt helped greatly with it's ability to work for a long time. > Astra's 3D understanding is unmatched. 3D asset creation was consistent and easy and its spacial awareness while building complex 3D worlds blew me away. I'm still getting familiar with Astra but this will now be my go-to model for any difficult work I have. Check out the demos below: 👇
