https://cdn8.openculture.com/2020/10/22225805/Daisugi.png
Daisugi, a Japanese technique, involves growing multiple trees from a single tree, creating a giant bonsai-like structure, but it's actually a form of coppicing, a common woodland management technique practiced for centuries. This method produces straight, usable timber without harming the original tree, and it's being re-emphasized as a sustainable way to manage woodlands.

Tokenmaxxing is dead, long live tokenmaxxing

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rp_Y!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd9ca712f-fd31-4c79-94b3-5a0ebe81bdb3_800x786.jpeg
The concept of tokenmaxxing, where companies spend large amounts of money on AI tokens without expecting a return, is not dead but rather evolving as companies realize the benefits of compounding correctness, where more tokens spent lead to better results. The shift towards open model platforms and generalist agents will lead to another rise in tokenmaxxing behavior, ultimately resulting in ...
