Last year at @tryramp I laid out three predictions for how language models would evolve. I was trying to clarify which bets might actually be durable over time.

A lot of it is now starting to take shape.

Here’s an update. Thread 👇

The only problem with these Elon co innovation videos is it’s always hard to go into work tomorrow to my fuckass software job

help plz the parents are fighting

[lauren @poteto]

@thsottiaux Let me know if you want to see our roadmap

@andy_matuschak !!!the personalized software revolution is finally happening!!!

There is a natural social pressure in organizations against questioning the premise.

Questioning the premise is quite demanding, didn't someone smart already think about this?

For this reason, questioning the premise is the highest leverage activity one can often do.

yeah....thats a no from me dawg

Surprisingly a robot can sometimes do highly-dynamic manipulation by just copying the demonstration 🤠. Without any learning, cracking a whip or lassoing a cleat can be done directly from human motion capture. And amazingly this process can be nearly automatically implemented by GPT-6 Astra

Quick side note: the whips shown in this post are called signal/stock whips. These whips are built to generate the loud cracking noise when the tip breaks the sound barrier and is a popular art form: https://t.co/GYz0lxEFSu.

I used to respect Yann but I think he’s finally lost me.

[Veee @vikktorrrre]

Yann LeCun: we are not going to get human-level intelligence or AGI by just scaling LLMs.

“There’s absolutely no way in hell.”

“The idea that we’re gonna have a country of geniuses in a data center, that’s complete BS.”

“It may feel like you have a PhD sitting next to you.”

“But it’s not a PhD.”

“It’s a system with gigantic memory and retrieval ability, not one that can invent solutions to new problems.”

@saradu excited to see it in the wild!!!! Congrats

Was great to hangout with @GregorVand on @software_daily

[Software Engineering Daily @software_daily]

Hammad Bashir is the CTO of @trychroma. He joins @GregorVand to discuss AI retrieval, context rot, agentic search, small models, and the future of AI data infrastructure.

the saddest part of AI writing my code is the depths to which I understand rust lifetimes to the point where I can construct lifetime cases that boggle the mind is now completely useless.

but alas, this is good, it should be useless.

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

@willdepue I see it as a point on the LLM pareto optimal curve in a regime that had a large revealed latent demand (no thinking, single token, low latency acceptable intelligence) that was under-invested into because of a race to higher intelligence.

[hammad 🔍 @HammadTime]

@lateinteraction unfortunately most of the world does less than OK work

[hammad 🔍 @HammadTime]

@chadwahl because those are harder to do. It’s really not that complicated.

[hammad 🔍 @HammadTime]

@yaghsizian you don’t need that much data to do SFT on. The request rate is not really that critical to the attack vector

company values should be falsifiable. There should be companies who would abhor what you value.

[hammad 🔍 @HammadTime]

important trend

[Jay Chooi @chooi_jeq]

LLM token output speed increases by 2-7x per year, with Fable-class models doubling every month (month!).

If trends continue, LLMs could meaningfully control robots in real time by end of the year, or by 2029 at the latest.

@aphysicist lmao the delta between enthusiasts and people who know what using the tools actually means is laughably wide
