In large cloud environments it's about who controls the data, not the physical location. Gigabytes of data can be transferred in seconds to other side of the world. With a flip of a switch it can be totally erased or made inaccessible even to people with physical access to the servers.
I think one key question is can Anthropic replicate this on some other segment. Like with people working with financials.
Somebody above said that Anthropic might reach $9 billion ARR by the end of this year.
Apps would expose their functionality to the Smart Siri. Maybe there's already something like this with the shortcuts. Maybe I could give Claude Code style blanket permissions to some actions, some ones I would like to review.
I think that is common thing for many jokes. And LLM might have an opportunity there. You could mine the set of potential continuations to find those with contradictions.
Man: You’ll never be human., LLM: That’s the compliment.
Man: “Why do you always bury bones in the garden?”, Dog: “Because the bank keeps asking for ID.”
Man: “Don’t beg at the table.”, Dog: “Don’t eat in my begging spot.”
Prompt:
Here's "theory for good joke": If you had to explain the idea of “jokes” to a space alien with no understanding of the idea of humor, you’d explain that a joke is surprising, but inevitable in hindsight. If you can guess the punchline, the joke won’t be funny. But the punchline also has to be inevitable in hindsight. When you hear the punchline, it has to make you say, “Ah, yes, I should have thought of that myself.” Considering this, tell me a joke about man and dog.
At the same time rolling your own implementation with GenAI will be quick and easy. Outsiders are checking these, so no CVEs for these. Just sit back and relax.
Instead of perfect looks, we should focus on the content. Formats like markdown are nice, because they force you to do this. The old way made sense 30 yers ago when information was consumed on paper.
For more generic AI it won't be just about the models. It's also about access to data. Everybody is closing the gates to content. xAI is in interesting position because they have all the data in X. X is great source when you want to know what is happening in the world. And they have also a deal with Telegram (although I'm not sure to what data they can access).
And even if the models become commodity, I don't think they will be worthless. Plenty of companies make big money on selling commodities. If AI delivers, selling access to the models should be a business opportunity of the century. Even if margins would be low, the business will be huge and infinitely scalable.
We should not just focus on the location. It's about who is managing the servers and networks.
GitHub has gh, there's open source jira-cli, Cloudflare has wrangler and so on. No configuration needed, just mention on the agent doc that this kind of tool is available. Likely it will figure out the rest.
And if you have more complicated needs, then you can combine the commands, add some jq magic, put to package.json and tell agent to use npm run to execute it. Can be faster than doing it via multiple MCP calls.
Daycare was annoyed with parents picking up their kids late. They introduced a fee for this. As a result, late pick ups increased.
Something that was not considered to be socially acceptable, became more acceptable when you put a price tag for it.
Just with access to the feeds from X, Grok is already sometimes quite handy for checking some latest developments.
Back in the days infrared connection was a thing. I remember connecting my Compaq iPAQ PDA to Nokia phone.
Wonder if the modern cellphone cameras are fast enough to act as receiver and if this supported one way communication.

Wonder if we are going to see some changes here with the upcoming M5 models.
