Seeing a lot of crazy stuff come out around Jev and I am curious how this effects the revenue model for LLM neo clouds / inference providers.
Until now all growth assumptions were modeled off of LLM usage economics, but enter these System One models like Jev, and it drastically shifts inference assumptions from 100% sequential token processing LLM-based inference to this parallelized alternative that's clearly better for many workloads people were using LLMs for.
If LLMs were used for 100% of tasks, but x% of tasks are better for SO models, does the inference spend for the remaining y% of LLM make up for the chunk that's been zeroe'd by x% of SO tasks?
I'm reluctant to call this a neocloud revenue model nuke but it's hard to see how it's not. Pls help me understand.

Okay so in a business setting, what % of tasks are actually high entropy? I would argue that few actually are and that 99% of business cases (emphasis on business, excluding scientific / mathematical discoveries) are low-medium entropy.
I tell many of our customers that they should be decomposing their AI tasks into three buckets:
1. Low entropy: e.g. "who should review this PR?"
2. Medium entropy: e.g. "review this PR"
3. High entropy: e.g. "write a PR"
Today, I think you only need frontier models for #3!

The most fucked up thing about American food is that you have to be a paranoid lunatic just to feed yourself something that won't kill you in 30 years.
You're paying $400 a month at Whole Foods to avoid $200,000 in medical bills the food industry will hand you at 60.
The default snack is a chemical no European country lets in. The default cooking oil was invented in 1911 in a soap factory by Procter and Gamble. The default protein bar is sugar wrapped in marketing. The default "healthy" yogurt has more sugar than ice cream. The default breakfast cereal was invented by a guy who wanted to make people less horny.
That's not a joke btw. John Harvey Kellogg literally believed corn flakes would reduce masturbation. The cereal aisle is downstream of his crusade.
You have to FIGHT to find real bread.
FIGHT to find a chicken that wasn't raised in a steroid bath.
FIGHT to find olive oil that hasn't been cut with canola in a warehouse in Spain.
FIGHT to find a restaurant that doesn't cook everything in soybean oil.
FIGHT to read every label like it's evidence at a murder trial.
Your great-grandfather ate what was on his farm and he lived to 89. You eat 87 ingredients you can't pronounce per meal and you'll be on a statin at 52.
Somehow this is "progress."
The American food industry is a $1.5 trillion machine and the medical industry is a $4.5 trillion machine. Different shareholders, same business model: make you sick, then sell you the management.
Doritos in your kid's lunchbox.
Lipitor in his lunchbox 30 years later.
Same parent companies sometimes. PepsiCo owns Quaker. Quaker pushed oatmeal as "heart healthy" while loading it with sugar. Mondelez owns Cadbury, Oreo, Ritz, Triscuit, Wheat Thins. Kraft Heinz owns Kraft Mac and Cheese, Velveeta, Capri Sun, Lunchables. The 7 companies that make 87% of what's on a typical American grocery shelf all have pharma stock holdings 2 to 3 layers deep.
The grocery walkthrough that actually keeps you alive:
> Outer aisles only. Produce, meat, dairy, eggs. Inner aisles are 90% chemistry experiments.
> Meat: pasture-raised, grass-fed, no antibiotics. Costco has decent options. Local farmers are better. Skip "natural" labels (means nothing).
> Eggs: pasture-raised, NOT cage-free (means nothing), NOT free-range (means almost nothing). Vital Farms is the easiest find.
> Butter: Kerrygold or any grass-fed brand. The yellow color is beta-carotene from grass. Pale butter = grain fed.
> Olive oil: California Olive Ranch, Kirkland's California, or single-estate Italian. Most "Italian" olive oil at Costco is Spanish-Tunisian blends cut with sunflower oil. Litigation pending.
> Bread: sourdough from a local bakery or Ezekiel-style sprouted. Avoid anything with "vegetable oil" or "soybean oil" in the ingredients.
What to delete from the cart entirely:
> Anything in a bag that didn't exist in 1950 (chips, crackers, cereal in a box, pre-mixed dressings)
> Vegetable oil, canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower
> Anything with HFCS, "natural flavors," carrageenan, soy lecithin, BHT, BHA
> Sweetened yogurt (buy plain, sweeten with honey or fruit)
> Pre-packaged "healthy" snacks (granola bars, RX bars, protein cookies)
The 4-step kitchen audit that actually works:
> Cook 6 nights a week. No restaurants on weeknights. The exposure compounds when families eat out 4 times a week.
> Buy meat from one farmer for the year. Costs the same per pound, eat better cuts.
> Eggs and rice are superfoods. Stop chasing trendy ones. The basics still print.
> Skip protein bars. A boiled egg + an apple beats every $4 bar on the shelf and costs $0.80.
The system is engineered to keep you a customer.

Here is a non-comprehensive list of ways to position yourself for success in a world of artificial intelligence
- being in top physical shape
- start reading a lot more.. thinking 75% fiction 25% non-fiction… With most of that non-fiction being autobiographies or biographies
- create more stories… This means putting yourself outside your comfort zone as a normal mode of operations.. this can include saying hello to strangers and email people randomly
- learn a musical instrument like guitar or piano
- spend time in the woods, hiking, etc.
- put yourself in water more often

spend any amount of time in rural Latin America or SEA and you'll leave feeling this way
Leaving Costa Rica today after 5 months living here. Life changing place
Heading home infuriated about how anti-nature and anti-human mainstream culture has become
And inspired to continue contributing toward building a better world

Last week I visited four national parks and several national forests.
I left with three major conclusions:
1) Our National Park Rangers are Chick-fil-a level quality. I never met one who was anything but go-out-of-their-way helpful even on the most mundane topic.
2) Our National Parks are an absolute treasure. You don't need to go out of the country, America contains a million different worthwhile sights to see.
3) National Parks should be free for US Citizens. The "America the Beautiful" pass is $80 for a year of entry into any National Park. Easy decision, but I would take it a step further.
National Parks should be free for US Citizens and $1,000 for a one week pass otherwise. Build American pride and generate revenue.
National Parks feel like the one thing the government has consistently gotten right.
