What are we scaling?

Microsoft Corporation develops and supports software, services, devices, and solutions worldwide.

Microsoft is both a beneficiary through Copilot/OpenAI/Excel workflow control and exposed to disappointment if autonomous-agent timelines slip; net implication is mixed rather than clearly bearish.

Tesla, Inc.

Tesla’s valuation and narrative include robotaxi and humanoid robotics optionality; skepticism around general-purpose learning is a risk to those expectations.

Agentic automation may be slower or more expensive to scale if each workflow needs task-specific training and environment construction.

Symbotic Inc., an automation technology company, develops technologies to enhance operating efficiencies in modern warehouses.

Warehouse robotics is more constrained and practical than humanoid robotics, but broad optimism around robotic autonomy could be tempered if learning algorithms remain a bottleneck.

Lecture-level geopolitical framework (continental land powers vs maritime trading powers) with a brief mention of Russia/Putin targeting global agriculture. Mostly conceptual; only loosely translatable into trades via second-order implications (defense spending, supply-chain resilience, agriculture/food security).

Podcast description discussing economics of AGI: taxation/redistribution of AI-generated wealth, how non–AI-supply-chain countries share gains, and whether inequality explodes. Contains sponsor mentions (Jane Street recruiting; Google Gemini). No concrete near-term catalysts or company-specific fundamentals in the text.

What rebuilding AlphaGo teaches us about self-play, RL, and future of LLMs - Eric Jang Eric Jang walks through how to build AlphaGo from scratch, but with modern AI tools. Sometimes you understand the future better by stepping backward. AlphaGo is still the cleanest worked example of the primitives of intelligence: search, learning from experience, and self-play. You have to go back to 2017 to get insight into how the more general AIs of the future might learn. Once he explained how AlphaGo works, it gave us the context to have a discussion about how RL works in LLMs and how it could work better – naive policy gradient RL has to figure out which of the 100k+ tokens in your trajectory actually got you the right answer, while AlphaGo’s MCTS suggests a strictly better action every single move, giving you a training target that sidesteps the credit assignment problem. The way humans learn is surely closer to the second. Eric also kickstarted an Autoresearch loop on his project. And it was very interesting to discuss which parts of AI research LLMs can already automate pretty well (implementing and running experiments, optimizing hyperparameters) and which they still struggle with (choo
