“Ryan Brandt and I scraped over 1,000 latest job postings and used the latest AI models (o1, Claude, Gemini) and agents/tools (Windsurf, Axiom, etc.) to apply for jobs and attempt to complete tasks. The results? AI could solve ~15% of tasks…but we made exactly $0. Here’s what we learned—and what this means for the future of work…” ~ learn more
“Yesterday, OpenAI gave us an agent that can control a browser to do your bidding. I stayed up until 4 AM to put this demo together for you, going through several use cases: 1) Hotel recommendation 2) Data gathering 3) Flight booking 4) Legal paperwork 5) Infographics” ~ learn more
“And this partially explains why Chicago is holding a roadshow in African American churches attempting to convince participants to invest in a mezzanine-y equity slice of a casino at a $1 billion valuation, perhaps at 100X leverage.” This Patrick Mackenzie post is maybe a bit too lengthy, make sure you get to the structure and leverage part! ~ learn more
