  The internet enabled "connectivity". All these isolated pockets of information and communities and people always existed before, but being able to connect them together with the internet was what created the huge marginal value. I think the gains falls into 3 general buckets: 1) Connecting/Aggregating supply and demand. People have way more choices now from both supply and demand side - Amazon, Facebook (for human interests/social communities) 2) Efficiency gains from better coordination - Amazon 2 Day Delivery. 3) Frictionless instant distribution - Netflix streaming movies into your home Everyone has been talking about who extracts the most value from the AI stack, and if you look at the internet it's undoubtedly the applications that did. The rest of the stack essentially became commoditized. So let's get back to AI. In the same vein, i think AI enables "intelligence". Before this if you wanted to build a website, you had to hire someone who had the "intelligence" or gain the "intelligence" yourself to build it. Now you just ask AI and it does it for you. Intelligence/Execution is now cheap. Everyone has an intelligent PHD who knows a little of everything working for them on their computer now. OpenAI/Anthropic doesn't feel too different than say AOL back in the day when it was the only way consumers could access the internet. Eventually people had alternatives and it went away although for the internet providers, AOL didn't necessarily provide "better" internet than its competitors but the frontier AI models could potentially. AI Chips/Hardware now don't seem too dissimilar to how modems/routers/optic cables were for the internet. It'll still be short squeezed in the short term, but we'll eventually get more alternatives and supply. Energy/infrastructure - Eventually ppl will build data centers in the middle of nowhere with energy supply and it'll be fine. There will be alternatives. So i think eventually all the value will accrue to the application layer as everything else gets commoditized? But what would those applications look like? One thought experiment would be to consider which companies/products couldn't exist without the internet. Everyone in FAANG could be considered here, so maybe the trick is to find companies that couldn't exist without AI? Walmart would still exist without the internet, but not Amazon. Amazon figured out how to give itself an unfair advantage with the internet. Google obviously couldn't exist without the internet. So what are the similar parallels for AI? Maybe something like Harvey? What could i do with AI that i couldn't before (besides coding?). Most things still just feel like marginal efficiency gains (besides coding), instead of completely newly unlocked capabilities. I could imagine like a personal AI health assistant that will give you the vitamins or cook personalized meals (via contractor) you need everyday based on your data. Or maybe like an AI home system that helps you schedule for maintenance/repairs without you needing to think about it? Perhaps the internet solved the distribution problem, so the bet should just be on companies who already have a lock on distribution like $CRM and bet that they'll figure AI out. But perhaps we still need more time for AI to play out to identify these potential long term winners. We still don't really know what we can actually do with AI yet

  🇬🇷 Three people were killed when a private helicopter crashed on the Greek island of Sifnos (Cyclades) shortly after 6 p.m. local time on Monday, Aug. 17, per the Greek fire brigade (via Reuters). The aircraft went down in the Tholos neighborhood near homes and burst into flames, sparking a brush fire that crews brought under control. The dead are the pilot and two passengers. According to unconfirmed local reports, those on board were a newly-married British couple and the Greek pilot; the helicopter had reportedly taken off from a helipad in eastern Attica bound for Sifnos and crashed shortly after departure. Authorities have not officially confirmed the victims' identities. One correction: early reports of six dead were incorrect — the confirmed toll is three. The cause is unknown and under investigation by Greek aviation authorities. It has not been established that a loss of control caused the crash, so early explanations should be treated with caution.
