🎯 Product Strategy

A strategic approach to product development in rapidly accelerating fields. Instead of building for current model capabilities, teams should analyze exponential scaling laws to predict future capabilities (6-12 months out) and build products that rely on those future states, even if current success rates are low.

Core Principles

  • 1.Internalize the exponential curve; progress looks flat until the knee of the curve.
  • 2.Don't build for today's model limitations.
  • 3.Identify capabilities working 20% of the time today; assume they will work 100% of the time soon.
  • +1 more...

"Don't build for today, build for six months from now... things that aren't quite working that are working 20% of the time, will start working 100% of the time."

Execution

A methodology for aligning AI behavior using RLAIF (Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback) rather than human feedback. It involves baking a 'constitution' of values (e.g., UN Declaration of Human Rights) into the model, allowing it to critique and rewrite its own responses to ensure safety and character consistency.

Core Principles

  • 1.Define natural language principles (The Constitution).
  • 2.Remove humans from the immediate feedback loop (Scalability).
  • 3.Model generates initial response.
  • +2 more...

"If the answer is no, actually I wasn't in compliance with the principle, then we ask the model itself to critique itself and rewrite its own response."

The Economic Turing Test

by Benjamin Mann

📈 Growth & Metrics

A pragmatic definition for identifying Transformative AI (or AGI). Instead of philosophical sentience, it tests whether an AI agent can competitively replace a human in a specific economic role over a sustained period.

Core Principles

  • 1.Contract an agent for a specific job duration (1-3 months).
  • 2.Evaluate performance blindly against human standards.
  • 3.The test is passed if the employer decides to hire the agent, realizing later it was a machine.
  • +1 more...

"If you contract an agent for a month... and it turns out to be a machine rather than a person, then it's passed the Economic Turing Test for that role."
