The industry standard for companies building agents is currently a model-agnostic approach; for example, McKinsey has swapped out AI models in its internal agent to improve quality and reduce cost. See how OpenAI is challenging this: https://thein.fo/4ocKkbm
OpenAI Makes it Easier to Build Agents—and Harder to Switch Models
Over the past year, companies have been tinkering with generative artificial intelligence to create customized agents that automate complex tasks, but they’ve gotten mixed results. Now, OpenAI is push...

I’ve launched a site for my ongoing startup of AI models, apps, agents. They arrive under the UNRPRSNTBL rubric, the name stylized as such standing for the things we miss when we act like we can digitally “capture” a whole person. We only and always only get constructed slices. unrprsntbl.digital

Analysis adjusting for common biases suggests that happiness does not follow a U-shaped curve with age, but instead gradually declines through adulthood with a sharper drop in later years.
By removing common biases, study debunks U-shaped happiness curve with age
Many survey-based studies have been conducted to try to understand how happiness changes over a person's lifetime. While there have been a few different outcomes, the most common has been the U-shaped curve.

When mathematics meets aesthetics: Tessellations as a precise tool for solving complex problems
In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern.

@fotoole.bsky.social Your piece in @theatlantic.com today about the Founding Fathers is one of the best essays on them I’ve read outside of Garry Wills or Gordon S. Wood. With deep, timely insights and apt precise, quotations—esp. re: happiness—a fit remembrance with needed fixes. Thank-you!

For my column today, I wrote about how Trump leveraged America's collapsing trust in institutions — and how his second term has accelerated that collapse. Gift link: wapo.st/3IzN4QA
Opinion | When institutions crumble, strongmen step in
Trump wants to be the sole authority. With trust in institutions cratering, he sees his opportunity.
