A consumption basket approach to measuring AI progress - “In contrast, actual human users typically deploy AIs to help them with relatively easy problems. They use AIs for (standard) legal advice, to help with the homework, to plot travel plans, to help modify a recipe, as a therapist or advisor, and so on. You could say that is the actual consumption basket for LLM use, circa 2025.” // Also, interesting aside that maybe AI is as good as it’ll get (in a good way).

For me this part in particular was enormously, irresistibly moving. It perfectly expressed the principle, the claim, the myth–as you please–that America is an idea. That it does not matter where you are from. That, in fact, America will in this moment explicitly and proudly acknowledge the sheer variety of places you are all from. That built in to the heart of the United States is the republican ideal not just that anyone can become an American, but that this possibility is what makes the country what it is."
