Cautions on being 'experiment driven'
I hear a lot of people say they want their startup to be more ‘experiment driven’. I’ve encouraged that behaviour a lot myself. Take bets, see how they progress, gather data and use the result to validate, or invalidate some sort of hypothesis. If executed we…

"But LLMs are not deterministic!"
• “But LLMs are not deterministic!” The most common retort to my “LLMs are compilers” framing is: “… but compilers are deterministic, LLMs just generate probabilistic output!” I think that retort is not even wrong, and I’ll explain why. The analogy’s central…
