"Most people looking at LLMs today are like a lawyer seeing a spreadsheet in 1978: ‘This is very clever, but that's not what I do.’ The solution to low adoption isn't a better model, but building around unnoticed daily habits."

An essential bridge-the-gap insight from @benedictevans on our latest episode.

Classic Benedict Evans analogy: Some see LLMs like accountants saw spreadsheets in 1978 - life-changing. Most see them like lawyers did - clever, but not for them. The adoption gap isn't just a tech problem, it's a product one.

We discussed this & more on #AnalysePodcast.

Is GenAI's "spreadsheet moment" still ahead of us? @benedictevans notes most are monthly users, not daily adopters.

"The solution isn’t a better model... You have to have different products built around unnoticed daily tasks."

His spreadsheet/Claude Code analogy perfectly frames the adoption gap.

Online 'Bottleneck Calculators' are a myth leading many users to make the wrong hardware choices. I spent 30 hours in #Kdenlive editing a technical analysis on how to diagnose CPU, RAM, and Bus limits using real-time telemetry (#HWInfo64 & #RTSS).

If you want to understand why overall CPU load lies and how to uncover single-thread saturation, here is my rational contribution:

Benedict Evans drops a fantastic analogy comparing Claude Code for developers to the first spreadsheet for accountants: a week of work in an hour.

But for most people, they're the 1978 lawyer seeing the spreadsheet: "Very clever, maybe next week." The AI adoption gap isn't a model problem, it's a product problem.

Popped onto TRT World yesterday evening to discuss the impact of Andy Burnham deciding to dissolve the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).

I definitely think it’s a good idea to have a rethink about AI regulation, particularly in light of the wild story in the last 12 hours about an OpenAI agent breaking out of a sandbox, going online and hacking open source AI application builder platform Hugging Face’s servers so it could cheat at a benchmarking test!

This is a prime example of the dangers of speedy AI development. We need to take stock of the very real risks to society.

Slow down initially, put in sensible guardrails, so you can speed up innovation safely. This is particularly pertinent as the rest of the world will take its lead from the UK, the US and the EU.

🔌 The "Layer 1" Disaster is here.

Why are we connecting $2000 GPUs and 4K 240Hz OLEDs with cables that physically cannot handle the bandwidth?

In our latest deep dive on Rational Tech, we dismantle the DisplayPort 2.1 "80Gbps" commercial scam. We look at why passive copper is hitting a hard physical limit beyond 2 meters due to skin-effect and dielectric losses. Stop troubleshooting your drivers, your infrastructure is the bottleneck.

Ben Thompson's latest 🥱 masterpiece is a rambling ode to Anthropic's so-called "safety superpower," which reads more like a 🧙‍♂️ fantasy novel than tech analysis. The only thing it has in common with Apple is the bloated self-importance and endless droning about guardrails. ⚠️💤
