I think that dream is actually kind of dying.
As you talked about with the specialized models where it's like, and multimodal is often, like video generation is a totally different thing.
Yeah, I guess my statement with the dream is dying depends on exactly what you think it's going to be doing.
Like, cloud code is a general model that can do a lot of things, but it's not, like, necessarily... Like, it depends a lot on integrations and other things.
Like, I bet cloud code can do a fairly good job of doing your email, and the hardest part is figuring out how to give the information to it and how to get it to be able to send your emails and stuff like this.
But that's just kind of, like... I think it goes back to, like, what is the...
one model to rule everything ethos which is just like a thing in the cloud that handles your entire digital life and is way smarter than everybody it's like it's operating in a so it's an interesting leap of faith to go from cloud code becomes that which is like in some ways is
There's some avenues for that, but I do think that the rhetoric of the industry is a little bit different.
Yeah, the multimodal understanding does feel like something that is odd that it's not better solved.
Well, for now.
That's because they're massively subsidized and they're going to be paid for by ads.
It's coming.
appeal of paying a platform to find users who will genuinely like your product and that is the best case of things like instagram ads but there are also plenty of cases where advertising is very awful for incentives and i think that a world where the power of ai can integrate with that positive view of like i am a person and i have a small business and i want to make a
the best I don't know damn steak knives in the world and I want to sell them to somebody who needs them and if like if AI can make that sort of advertising thing work even better that's very good for the world especially with like digital infrastructure because that's how like the modern web has been built but that's not to say that like
addicting feeds so that you can show people more content is a good thing.
So it's like, I think that's even what opening I would say is they want to find a way that can make the monetization upside of ads while still giving their users agency.
And I'm, I personally would think that Google is probably going to be better at figuring out how to do this because they have, they already have ad supply and they figure out how to turn this demand in their Gemini app into useful ads.
Then they can turn it on.
And somebody will figure, I don't know if I think it's this year, but there will be experiments with it.
Unless they were great.
