No one really uses it. They can't do all of the things, right? And so, you know, our investments are informed by that. Like, you know, um, it's not to say that we won't do things in that blast radius or in that you know, sort of knowledge worker horizontal category. Um, but we do ask the question, you know, a lot more about like, what is the product roadmap? What's the right to win? Um, in the applications beyond those, like, I think there's going to be, you know, hundreds of flowers that bloom because it's going to be a massive, a massive unlock.
David George · The a16z Show · David George & Jack Altman on AI, Autonomy, and the Next $25 Trillion · 2026-10-04Psst, it's me, your sense of adventure calling. I'm not just calling, I'm insisting. Insisting you stop daydreaming and start planning to get you and me out there, out to Southwest Idaho during secret season, that time of year in March and April when snow stops dropping and flowers start popping. A perfect time for hiking, fishing, kayaking. And the food, phenomenal. The only thing missing?
Speaker B · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/2/26 · 2026-10-02Maybe I'll be left in the dust as you guys are having like Chez Panisse dinners and I'm shut out of the best reservations, but I can make that trade-off for my I just got, while we were talking, I just got an alert from my Muse app when it's literally asking me to import all of the data that I have with Claude over to it. It says, help me, help me get to know you better. Already use another AI? I can give you a prompt to bring it over. Um, on that note, let's go to another break. Afterwards, I have some very stupid questions about the news that I want to ask you guys. I want to talk about Anthropic's S-1. I want to talk about Meta's data center tax breaks. And Eli, I have a really important question about buying flowers for your girlfriend. Uh, we'll be back soon.
Max Read · Hard Fork · A.I. Agents: Cute, Cuddly and Maybe Catastrophically Dangerous? · 2026-10-02Yeah. Um, this is a great story. I highly recommend everyone check it out. Eli, you're not off the hook. I have a stupid question for you. In your story, And I know I'm not the only person to ask this because I've seen the comments on this story. You mentioned that you almost used your AI assistant to buy flowers for your girlfriend who had recently had surgery, and instead you bought pottery on Facebook Marketplace. Did you eventually buy flowers for her?
Max Read · Hard Fork · A.I. Agents: Cute, Cuddly and Maybe Catastrophically Dangerous? · 2026-10-02I did buy flowers for her. Okay. And her first question was, did Muse buy these for me?
Eli Tan · Hard Fork · A.I. Agents: Cute, Cuddly and Maybe Catastrophically Dangerous? · 2026-10-02I didn't— I don't think I went back fast far enough because I remember the beach ball, which is rainbow beach ball, and then when I go backwards from that, I remember like a single color beach ball. It was like purple and lighter purple. So I have like a purple petalled flower circle thing.
Marques · Waveform_ The MKBHD Podcast · The Xiaomi Fold and New Meta VR Glasses · 2026-10-02I'm personally just really upset that this scandal happened with one of the Trump children's weddings and not the Alina Haba wedding, which is the wedding I really want to talk about because there were so many flowers.
Anna Bauer · The Lawfare Podcast · Rational Security: The “Techs Appeal” Edition · 2026-10-01Well, trust me, I will see them because I have been really like going through all the Instagram reels of her wedding because the flowers alone must have cost over $1 million. I've never seen so many flowers at a wedding, but that doesn't raise counterintel concerns.
Anna Bauer · The Lawfare Podcast · Rational Security: The “Techs Appeal” Edition · 2026-10-01So let's not be too hard on the flowers. They're allowed in excess every now and then.
Mike Feinberg · The Lawfare Podcast · Rational Security: The “Techs Appeal” Edition · 2026-10-01On attack, you could blast through any native formation which didn't— not just have the weapons, but the training or discipline to be able to stand up to mass shock cavalry. And if things were going bad for the conquistadors, they could retreat much faster than, of course, the enemies could chase them. So los carlins appreciate all these assets coming together, and they see this as their opportunity. They were the holdouts, the last remaining major entity in Mesoamerica, which was still able to go toe-to-toe with the Aztecs. They've been completely surrounded. The Aztecs were upping the ante every year with these ceremonial flower wars, which are becoming more and more obviously wars of conquest. And the Laxcalans have been cut off from the coast and from sources of salt, right? So they were being pushed to the brink. This is a Hail Mary for them. If we ally with these outsiders, these strangers who are just few in number after all, We may have some potential way to break out of this strategic trap that we've been— we've had imposed upon us.
Cy Shepard · Dwarkesh Podcast · Si Sheppard – How did a few hundred Spanish soldiers topple two empires? · 2026-10-01That's a good question. I mean, I think Moctezuma II, from the moment when Cortés seized him, because previously the records of Moctezuma reflect that he was a pitiless autocrat. He centralized all power in the aristocracy. Previously, it used to be possible to work up from outside the circle into the inner circle, but he forbade that. He was almost Stalinist in his authority over his underlings. And he was the one who was amping up the ritualistic flower wars into successive campaigns of encirclement and annihilation for the Lashkar-e-Amritsar. So he was, in every sense of the word, an autocrat. Um, perhaps it's, it's for the first time in his life being told what to do, um, just led to a complete psychological break. Because once Cortés had hold of him, um, he seems to pulled a complete 180 switch and become essentially willingly Cortés's puppet.
Cy Shepard · Dwarkesh Podcast · Si Sheppard – How did a few hundred Spanish soldiers topple two empires? · 2026-10-01So earlier in this episode, I asked Sy, if you could rerun the conquest 1,000 times, how often do the Spanish end up in control? What if the Aztecs had learned ironworking from the Vikings? What if the Spanish hadn't brought smallpox? Or Cortés had died earlier? Obviously with history, counterfactuals are just thought experiments. But with software, you can actually test them. The Antithesis software testing platform runs your system through thousands of parallel histories, letting you explore any counterfactual you want. How does your software perform if a packet gets dropped? What about when the network drags? Or the machine dies mid-write? Importantly, you don't have to come up with these counterfactuals. One big problem with traditional testing is that it only covers a distribution that you know. To test for a bug, you first have to imagine it. These tests are sort of like the flower wars. The Aztec success in these ritual battles against known rivals made them feel like the best military in the world, but they were still unprepared for Cortés.
Dwarkesh Patel · Dwarkesh Podcast · Si Sheppard – How did a few hundred Spanish soldiers topple two empires? · 2026-10-01They're very similar. I guess Matan has like more dots that connect, but we are certainly in the In the age of the hexagon, in the age of the flowers, everyone's kind of went off the same thing. Anyway, that's enough timeline and turmoil. Let's go over to another—

Yeah, it's adorable. Can you tell that I have a cold?
Sara Obaidat · On the Media · Where Is Austin Tice? · 2026-09-30Mm-hmm. So you think they have more staying power than something like a Beanie Baby or a, uh, or a Poppy flower?
