We did it. thanks so much to my wonderful advisor @togelius (pictured!) and to my committee members @nealen @mmateas and @gillianmsmith

We are just days away from officially launching Outpost and we are taking in applications for our first company drop!

We put in the work this week

Working on gamifying and monetizing LinkedIn InMails—finding a way to take high skilled workers and give them passive income. "Gig Economy" but for white-collar workers

[Dr. Michael Green @Bumblebor]

@MasterMilkX Booooo! I’m sorry that happened. That project is so cool.

[Dean Kroker @dean__coffee]

@Jason thanks for your feedback on our product, Outpost! I loved your framing: "for a small amount of money you can get actionable insights".

Happy to offer your team at @LAUNCH a free website design critique, $199 value. You probably don't need the resume review😉

I'm glad that everyone has now read Ted Chiang's essay and so has caught up on the AI art debate in the Computational Creativity community from a decade ago.

Early in a technological adoption! I’m very curious and excited to see “what are the good use cases” for LLMs. I’m not sure we’ve truly cracked it with just autocompletion just yet. Surely there is more to unlock here :) just takes time

[Julian Togelius @togelius]

This essay by Ted Chiang is really good and makes many points I agree with.

Note that it is possible to say this while also thinking that LLMs and diffusion models are amazing technical breakthroughs that will (eventually) revolutionize society. It's about seeing the technology for what it is, and finding the right use cases. Right now, it feels like we're at a stage similar to when people tried to sell personal computers in the early 1980s with the argument that they could help you organize your recipe collection.

Democrats should introduce a gun control bill called the "The Donald Trump safety and gun control bill" and make republicans vote against it.

[Dr. Michael Green @Bumblebor]

@togelius Nah you gotta put your words under the mattress with your money. Only place either are safe

[Ahmed Khalifa @Amidos2006]

We (@Amidos2006, @Bumblebor, @Smearle_RH, @err_more, @togelius) wrote a chapter about evolutionary machine learning and games as a part of the handbook on evolutionary machine learning. I hope you enjoy it.

I love this!

What if we set GPT-4 free in Minecraft? ⛏️

I’m excited to announce Voyager, the first lifelong learning agent that plays Minecraft purely in-context. Voyager continuously improves itself by writing, refining, committing, and retrieving *code* from a skill library.

GPT-4 unlocks a new paradigm: “training” is code execution rather than gradient descent. “Trained model” is a codebase of skills that Voyager iteratively composes, rather than matrices of floats. We are pushing no-gradient architecture to its limit.

Voyager rapidly becomes a seasoned explorer. In Minecraft, it obtains 3.3× more unique items, travels 2.3× longer distances, and unlocks key tech tree milestones up to 15.3× faster than prior methods.

We open-source everything. Let generalist agents emerge in Minecraft! Welcome you all to try today: https://t.co/1d3YocozsI

this is the the best idea I have ever had in my life

@AIandGames congrats! this is a great achievement! I can't wait to see you make more content

Sometimes it’s a superpower, sometimes is tough.

i hate having ADHD. i hate feeling constantly overwhelmed by small tasks that i know are easily accomplished by other people. things that shouldn't be hard are so hard all of the time and i really wish my brain wasn't like this
