Life update. I've joined @FireworksAI_HQ!
I believe intelligence should be open and accessible. I've always admired what Fireworks is doing to further this mission, and I couldn't be more excited to join the team.

🆕 Humanity’s Last Invention — with @RichardSocher!
https://t.co/ZSeHSpcC1g
@recursive_si is the latest neolab to burst on the scene with a $5B fundraise and one of the most impressive cofounder lists ever assembled to tackle open ended, self-improving AI for AI research. We dive into the Eureka Machine, Richard's 10 Spaces of Intelligence (so much left until AGI!), DecaNLP vs @alecrad and why AI peer review is broken, and why this may just be the last invention that humanity has to do on our own.

Incredibly excited to announce: I’ve decided to join @primitive to help build the communication layer for agents!
Email is already the universal protocol for getting things done online. The problem is the infrastructure behind it was built for humans, not agents
Because of this, Primitive is rebuilding that infrastructure from the ground up so agents can have their own email address, ask questions, receive answers, handle attachments, coordinate with other agents & actually participate in the world asynchronously. Primitive agents will integrate into your infrastructure, not the other way around.
I love the idea of building agentic systems that move from passive observers to useful participants & I'm incredibly excited to ship alongside Ethan @itsjustemail Ben @_poile_ & the rest of the team :)
