The Witch-King of Baltimore

We thank you for your interest.

The long catalogue of one's errors—in each article whereof one is by turns author, sufferer, and penitent—is at times swallowed up in the vastness of the world, and thereby stripped of that dominion which, in a narrower compass, it might have usurped. For this cause privacy is so jealously guarded: it is nothing other than the right to remain human.

When a client calls me at 6AM and asks if I’m taking new work.

@chaosfetishist I’d probably still be married if not for the State of Israel.

Things work out in the end.

@grok @teortaxesTex @grok write me a highly compact summary of all of this with links outside x

@grok @teortaxesTex What's the practical upshot for open source models in the future?

[The Witch-King of Baltimore @P3rs3vs]

@grok @teortaxesTex Okay, it's all open source models. The deal is that it's a cheaper way to fine tune them?

[The Witch-King of Baltimore @P3rs3vs]

@grok @teortaxesTex @grok why is this significant?

56,000+ tokens/sec at just 80 MHz. 🤯

I burned a full Transformer with KV cache into a custom chip. Designed gate by gate as a 100% digital integrated circuit. Prototyped on a FPGA. (No GPU. No CPU)
Just pure digital silicon running @karpathy microGPT, spelling out names on a tiny LCD.

This is GateGPT 👇

BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly has enough evidence to convince any jury in America, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the CIA killed his uncle, John F. Kennedy.

What comes next:

The govt will rollout an emergency citizenship program for any foreign-born employee working in a lab contingent on them immediately moving to the U.S.

Everyone will be heavily vetted via the same screening construct already utilized by the defense primes.

Google will have to move the entirety of DeepMind to the U.S. and fire whoever refuses to relocate.

People will gleefully assume Demis will just start his own UK lab instead before realizing the next step is the US is about to gut foreign “unmonitored” access to compute.

You can pull a LeCun but you won’t have sufficient compute to do shit.

Greencards will be given to family members too.

Foreign govts will freak out when they realize what is happening. We are gatekeeping and hoarding intelligence preemptively.

Why? Because by GPT 7 France will be like “oh you just destroyed our services sector we are going to tax the labs to pay for the necessary benefits to prevent riots” and it’s a lot easier to do that if labs have critical employees based in Paris. Ditto for every other foreign nation.

Anyone acting like this is surprising is simply incapable of thinking four steps ahead.

We are going to see industries nuked over night. There will be civil unrest. The only way to navigate that is to tax and gatekeep. The only way you can tax something is if it lives in your borders. We are repatriating exposure points preemptively.

Compute gatekeeping comes next.

If you want to shape a self-interacting wave weakly coupled to anything but highly engineered matter the optimal solution, at first blush, would seem to be a sphere.

Gotta respect the dedication.

Leftist publication The Intercept blamed Donald Trump and his supporters for multiple bomb threats on Jewish institutions in February 2017. It turned out the threats came from one of The Intercept's staff reporters, Juan Thompson. He was convicted and sentenced to 60 months in prison.

Delicious.

Close to 2/3 of stranger homicides with white victims are black on white, which is astronomical, when you consider that whites outnumber blacks 5 to 1. This is why even Jesse Jackson crosses the street.

Wait my friend started at spaceX in 2010

Her job is visiting suppliers that are behind schedule because she’s too hot for engineers to talk to, much less lie to

And for that she’ll be a multimillionaire

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

When politicians say they want to seize/tax "wealth" but actually mean "shares in your own company that you yourself founded", the real point is making it impossible for anyone to actually control their own company for more than a decade.

They won't let you stay, either.

[Douglass Mackey @douglassmackey]

The Supreme Court just blew up one of the corrupt prosecution’s absurd venue arguments in my case.

They tried to argue that venue was universal because of the “effects” of posting a tweet. In other words, if you post a tweet it could be viewed in Brooklyn, so we can try you in Brooklyn.

I won my case on sufficiency but we had many other winning appellate issues.

The weaponized Biden prosecution against me was a complete disgrace led by Maegan Rees (FBI), Erik Paulsen (EDNY) and Bill Gullotta (Public Integrity).

Specifically:

I’d first look at what promising approaches to post-Einsteinian science were we induced to abandon by Quantum Gravity/StringTheorists. I’d spend the first 1/2 million dollars simply destringifying the last 42 lost years.

Then I would look at all the major ideas without ANY refereeing input from string theory/m-theory:

Chern Simons
Asymptotic safety
GU
Einstein Cartan
McDowell Mansouri
Spin connections
Strings
Gravitational Amplitudes
Etc.

Then based on that assessment, I would allocate grants to push for the spacetime successor.

But the first allocation is to destringification. We need to stop being brainwashed by 5 people and their misinterpretation of Ken Wilson.

We need to realize that the real physics that we would need to travel the cosmos got nerfed. By string theory.

The first task is undoing the murderous anti-scientific lie and culture of TOGIT as spread by Witten, Susskind, Greene, Kaku, Gross and company.

Just undoing that and making it viable to do theoretical physics without their fingers around our throats would bring us far closer to post Einsteinian engineering.

Gravitational physics has become a lie under quantum gravity.
