The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Which was never their reputation, and now it's starting to become it. Yeah. Um, What does it do? What do you, what would you want to use it for?

A Well, I think a lot of it is an extension of the smartphone, right? I mean, this idea, like, I was on a different podcast recently, it was semaphore, and we were talking about the future of the phone, and is the phone going to go away? And like, the phone is never going away, just like laptops didn't go away when the phones came, and all of our other technology built on each other, right? So the phone isn't going to go away, but what are the things that we want to separate From doing on the phone. And I think the experience of interacting with AI on a phone right now kind of sucks in some situations, and that is something I talked about a lot in the book, right? Like, I'm holding up this phone to look at something and, you know, you've got other notifications coming in, you've got all this other stuff, and you, you just want to kind of get in and get out and ask these assistants or these agents a specific question. Or you want the visual intelligence, which I think is what Apple's going to make a big push into. I don't think we're going to see that in June because they've got to talk about these glasses eventually, but I don't think we're going to talk about them there. But I think, you know, the visual intelligence on the iPhone right now, you hit the camera button, you hit the visual intelligence, or you ask the ask button, and you can ask about whatever you're seeing in fron…

AI assessment note: “you can ask about whatever you're seeing in front of you, which is hugely useful”
