anyone else have the sense that no one is particularly trying to be smart or broadly convincing online anymore retrospectively it feels like there was a shift from a high classical spirit in the blog era to romantic tweeting during the calamity epoch and now it's just--inert?
Supervillain
You know Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark "only" had ~$10 billion and were superheroes Imagine what Elon can do with $414 billion
Jesus Fucking Christ That’s a lotta compute People must really like Ani
230k GPUs, including 30k GB200s, are operational for training Grok @xAI in a single supercluster called Colossus 1 (inference is done by our cloud providers). At Colossus 2, the first batch of 550k GB200s & GB300s, also for training, start going online in a few weeks. As Jensen…
Piece by piece, the infrastructure of AI-centred internet of tomorrow comes into view, one primitive at a time!
today we're releasing a new small model (0.5B) for detecting problems with tool usage in agents, trained on 50M tokens from publicly available MCP server tools it's great at picking up on tool accuracy issues and outperforms larger models
The easy problems of consciousness are the road to AGI. (The neurocognitive explanations of how specific mental processes and functions contributive or characteristic to consciousness like perception, memory, or attention, etc, arise from brain functions)
🚀Introducing Hierarchical Reasoning Model🧠🤖 Inspired by brain's hierarchical processing, HRM delivers unprecedented reasoning power on complex tasks like ARC-AGI and expert-level Sudoku using just 1k examples, no pretraining or CoT! Unlock next AI breakthrough with…
thread on the new paper: The Serial Scaling Hypothesis joint work with: @phizaz, @YutongBAI1002, Kananart
It’s incredible how many people believed the gallons per query stuff. Some luddites will believe anything to feed their sanctimony and fetishisation of outrage
This chart is apparently already out of date and overemphasizes water use, according to the numbers OpenAI released, 300 average ChatGPT queries is equivalent to 20 tablespoons of water, not 1 gallon.
yeah no I’d rather lose my smell than my mind
What you’ve been trying to do, since forever, is simply a rotation: to stop treating the five senses as subordinate to the mind, and instead realize that the mind is just a sixth sense—on equal footing with the rest
Everything about Elon suddenly makes sense
overheard in SF: “people who work 100-hour weeks can't take breaks. they're like deep sea creatures, they work well under pressure, but then as soon as they go up to the surface, they combust”
Really love those visualisations! Analytic construction vs iterative refinement
Finally published: “Top-down and bottom-up neuroscience: overcoming the clash of research cultures” nature.com/articles/s41... Looking for ways to better understand different neuroscientific perspectives and enable productive collaborations
DEI ideology has infiltrated the GOP and its dangerous. What’s next? Putting AI in the hands of smurfs? Wizards? Those tech crazy dwarves?? I say we keep our muggle technology to ourselves.
We pray this amazing technology benefits hobbits broadly. That requires national dialogue about rules and rewriting our social contract. I call on GOP friends to set aside tech industry amnesty and debate how to ensure Americans flourish in what could be a golden age of…
Exciting new position to join our project hosted at @imperialcollege with @DanAkarca !
I'm hiring a @ARIA_Research funded position at @imperialcollege @ImperialEEE. Broad in scope + flexible on topics! Exciting projects on intersection of neural networks & new AI accelerators, from a HW/SW co-design perspective. Join us 🚀: imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-jo…
This is unironically good, actually.
Zhengzhou makes your iPhone. Now the central Chinese city is churning out cheap lab-grown diamonds for your engagement ring. The prices for synthetic diamonds have plummeted, falling by nearly 90% over the past five years. It is cheaper than ever to buy sparkling stones that…
all complex brains in nature: have hemispheres people building neural nets: it's probably nothing
Patiently waiting for AI to get this threshold. Don’t really care about AGI talk until we get a omni/meta-UI revolution
Eric Schmidt says traditional user interfaces are going to go away. The WIMP model (windows, icons, menus, pull-downs) was built 50 years ago. In the age of agents, UI becomes ephemeral. Generated on demand, shaped by intent, not layout.
It's a thrill to see this project, led by @MilinkovBorjan, see the light of day. It's led me to rethink the relationship between emergence and consciousness, and it's been an honour and pleasure to work on it with Boki and team (Thomas Andrillon, Lionel Barnett, Olivia Carter).👇🏽
📜🪇[PUBLISHED]: NEW PREPRINT!🪇📜 I am incredibly excited to announce that we have published our paper on how "Dynamical independence reveals anaesthetic specific fragmentation of emergent structure in neural dynamics". biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Strap in! 1/n
