Gabriel Weinberg's BlogTotal Factor Productivity needs a rebrand (and if you don't know what that is you probably should).If you don’t know about Total Factor Productivity (TFP), you probably should. It’s an economic concept that is arguably the most important driver of long-term economic prosperity. An International Monetary Fund (IMF) primer on TFP explains it like this (emphasis added):It’s a measure of an economy’s ability to generate income from inputs—to do more with less…If an economy increases its total income without using more inputs…it is said to enjoy higher TFP [Total Factor Productivity].TFP is an important macroeconomic statistic [because] improvements in living standards must come from grow...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogIs consumer AI heading for a duopoly?Fifteen years ago Google started using their search monopoly to create a browser monopoly by pushing people to use Chrome through in-product promotions in Google search. It worked. Now they’re repeating that same playbook for consumer AI with Gemini and it’s working again. In the last 30 days, Gemini has been downloaded about the same amount of times as ChatGPT, and nothing else is even close.While ChatGPT had a massive head start, Google is rapidly turning consumer AI into a duopoly. Despite endless headlines mentioning Anthropic, Perplexity, and others, none of the alternatives seem...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogThe paradox of progressProgress doesn’t have a single agreed-upon definition, but for the sake of anchoring, let’s say progress is rising living standards. While this definition seems unambiguously good, deserving of top billing on policy agendas for both major parties, the paradox is that long-term progress agendas rarely get top billing. Why? Here are three underlying reasons I’ve noticed in thinking about advocating for a lot more basic research funding, which I think needs to be the cornerstone of any credible progress agenda:* Timescale mismatch. People want benefits now, not decades from now. U.S. politics runs on two...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogThe overlooked front in the browser warsThe browser wars are back. Agents are one front; the overlooked front is reducing switching costs in workflows that bridge across search, browse, and AI.Overlapping search, browse, and AI in the browserTraditional web search, browsing, and AI chatting aren’t going away, even as many people will eventually start interacting more with agents that automate tasks. And all three of these core Internet activities increasingly overlap into complex workflows. Many queries you could start either with a web search or an AI chat, and many of those end with wanting to browse to a...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogWhat banning AI surveillance should look like, at a minimumI previously called on Congress to ban AI surveillance because of its heightened potential to easily manipulate people, both for commercial and ideological ends. Essentially, we need an AI privacy law.Yet Congress has stalled on general privacy legislation for decades, even in moments of broad public privacy focus, like after the Snowden revelations and the Cambridge Analytica scandal. So, instead of calling for another general privacy bill that would encompass AI, I believe we should focus on an AI-specific privacy bill.Many of the privacy frameworks floated over the years for general privacy regulation...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogOn reddit, roughly 500 views = 1 clickA couple weeks ago I wrote a post titled AI survelliance should be banned while there is still time. Someone submitted it to Hacker News where it got over 600 upvotes, so I decided to submit it myself to reddit (on /r/technology) where it got over 1,100 upvotes.Because I submitted it, I was able to get “Post Insights” (pictured above, left) that indicated the post got 175,000 views. Similarly, substack reports “Traffic sources” (pictured above, right) and shows 310 views came from reddit. This roughly 1:500 ratio is consistent with others I’ve gathered across several different posts and subreddits, so I don’t...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogA U.S.-China tech tie is a big win for China because of its population advantageChina’s population is declining, but UN projections show it will remain at least twice the size of the U.S. for decades.So what?Population size matters because economy size (GDP) matters and GDP = population × output per person. For example:* 100 million people × $50,000 per year = a $5 trillion economy* 1 billion people × $50,000 per year = a $50 trillion economy Then why hasn’t China’s economy already dwarfed America’s? It’s because China’s output per person is still much lower than America’s. China has about 4× the people but about ¼ the output...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogAI surveillance should be banned while there is still time.All the same privacy harms with online tracking are also present with AI, but worse.While chatbot conversations resemble longer search queries, chatbot privacy harms have the potential to be significantly worse because the inference potential is dramatically greater. Longer input invites more personal information to be provided, and people are starting to bare their souls to chatbots. The conversational format can make it feel like you’re talking to a friend, a professional, or even a therapist. While search queries reveal interests and personal problems, AI conversations take their specificity to another level and, in addition, re...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogProgress isn't automaticEveryone living today has lived in a world where science and technology, globally, have progressed at a relatively high rate compared to earlier times in human history. For most of human history, a random individual could expect to use roughly the same technology in one decade that they did the previous decade. That’s obviously not the case today.In fact, most of us alive today have little to no personal experience with such a degree of technological stagnation. That’s a good thing because long-term technological stagnation puts an upper bound on possible increases in our coll...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogMusings on evergreen contentFYI: This post is a bit meta—about writing/blogging itself—so it may not be your cup of tea.I’ve been having some cognitive dissonance about blogging. On the one hand, I don’t believe in doing things primarily for legacy purposes, since in the long arc of history, hardly anything is likely to be remembered or matter that much, and I won’t be here regardless. On the other hand, I also don’t like spending a lot of my writing time on crafting for the ephemeral—like a social media post—because it seems that same...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogRule #3: Every decision involves trade-offsOne of the universal rules of decision-making is that every decision involves trade-offs. By definition, when making a decision, you are trading off one option for another. But other, less obvious trade-offs are also lurking beneath the surface.For example, whatever you choose now will send you down a path that will shape your future decisions, a mental model known as path dependence. That is, your future path is both influenced and limited by your past decisions. If you enroll your child in a language immersion school, you significantly increase the chances that they will move to...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogThe key to increasing standard of living is increasing labor productivityStandard of living doesn’t have a strictly agreed-upon definition, but for the sake of anchoring on something, let’s use “the level of income, comforts, and services available to an individual, community, or society” (Wikipedia).Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, that is, the average economic output per person in a country, is often used as a proxy metric to compare the standard of living across countries. Of course, this proxy metric, being solely about money, doesn’t directly capture non-monetary aspects of standard of living associated with quality of life or well-being. However, most of these non...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogMost chatbot users miss this key setting, so we moved it up frontThe magic of chatbots is that they make it seem like you’re chatting with a real person. But the default personality of this “person” isn’t one I particularly enjoy talking to, and in many cases I find downright annoying. Based on feedback from duck.ai users—who rely on our service for private access to popular chatbots—I know I’m not alone. What people want in a chatbot’s personality varies widely: I cringe at extra exclamation points and emojis, while others love them. I also find the default output too verbose, whereas some appreciate the added exposition...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogThe debate over a potential economic bump from AI points to a much larger economic opportunity.The decade surrounding the Internet boom saw a marked increase in U.S. total factor productivity (TFP) growth—the economic efficiency gains beyond just adding more workers or capital—similar to higher levels seen before 1973. However, it then declined again from 2005 onward back to doldrums levels, which brings us to the present. Now, people are starting to debate a similar potential AI productivity bump unfolding over the next decade.However, this debate raises an even bigger question: How do we achieve sustained higher productivity growth forever, not just in occasional blips and bumps? I believe this is the...

My company (DuckDuckGo) offers our own private chatbot service at Duck.ai, we now generate millions of anonymous AI-assisted answers daily for our private search engine, and we are working on more AI features in our browser.

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogRule #2: There are always underlying assumptions.Every decision rests on assumptions. At minimum, you’re assuming the options you’re considering are actually all of your options. This set of options is, in turn, based on a set of assumed facts, which is, in turn, based on even more assumptions about how the world works.I’ve seen this pattern repeatedly: teams spend hours debating the details of Option A versus Option B, only to discover they never considered Option C—or that their entire framing of the problem was based on outdated or misaligned assumptions. Generally, in these situations, or for any signific...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogIssues with widespread bipartisan agreement that never go anywhereIn a country currently known for deep political divisions, some issues still garner supermajority agreement, yet nothing gets done about them. To me, these issues simultaneously represent hope and despair:* Hope—yes, we can agree on some important things.* Despair—uh oh, our widespread agreement isn’t translating into actual change.In other words, the existence of issues with durable, supermajority agreement, which nevertheless never materializes into change, is a strong indicator that we need some significant structural reform.

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogU.S. AI-labor protests could eventually resemble the French Yellow-Vest protestsI do not yet have a well-formed opinion on the net impact of AI on job loss across different time scales. Will it be a large, net negative, or will it be close to net neutral, similar to previous technology cycles? “Expert” estimates are all over the place, and while there is little job loss directly attributable to AI right now, circumstantial evidence is accumulating.That said, I believe it is clear that even in a net-positive scenario, many jobs will be displaced as new ones are created. For example, the World Economic Forum predicts by 2030 the crea...

Gabriel Weinberg's BlogAmericans’ tolerance for lengthy economic disruption due to tariffs is seemingly very low.Putting aside whether you or I believe in the potential benefits of widespread tariffs, I found this recent Gallup report fascinating regarding how Americans perceive their tolerance for the “short-term pain, long-term gain” tariff narrative. The chart below from Gallup shows that just 26% of U.S. adults would accept any disruption for more than a year.That leaves one-third of Republicans, 28% of independents and 15% of Democrats willing to endure a multiyear economic disruption to realize the possible benefits of tariffs.Subscribe for free to receive new posts.The Republicans are...
