[SSI Inc. @ssi]

We are announcing a long-term strategic partnership with NVIDIA. NVIDIA is making a substantial investment in SSI that will let us 10x our compute in the next 12 months. We reached the point where our research is worth scaling and with this partnership we will be able to. We are honored by NVIDIA’s conviction.

Sam Altman reveals his favorite Naval quote:

"Naval Ravikant used to say this thing that I loved, which is, if you had a fast-forward button on a remote for your life, your life would be over."

"The boring parts, the bad parts, they're still much better than no experience. It’s all part of the interestingness and the kind of emotional depth and range. And I don’t know, I find it fairly easy to be grateful for the bad days."

chatgpt work is remarkable, and "work" undersells it.

from my phone i sent:

"use all my chat history to figure out ideas for a long weekend trip with 8 friends, plan the best three options, make a full-stack site where the 9 of us can coordinate on what we would want to do in each place and decide where to go, and then after we get to group agreement make reservations. draft an email in my gmail i can send out to my friends when the site is ready."

it...just worked.

MIT filmed a calculus course in black and white decades ago and it still teaches better than most of what shipped this year. Almost nobody watches it.

This is Calculus Revisited, Unit 1, Lecture 1, taught by Herb Gross. Analytic geometry from the ground up, chalk on a board, 1 camera locked in place.

Gross built the course for adults returning to math after years away. No prerequisites assumed. Every idea earned in front of you instead of quoted from a textbook.

The opening move is simple division written on the board. From there he shows why coordinates work at all, the thing most courses skip and every student silently fakes.

Watch how slowly he goes. Each step spoken out loud, nothing left implicit, the pace of someone who expects you to actually follow.

A backend engineer I know rewatched Unit 1 twice before touching linear algebra and said it fixed a gap he'd carried for 12 years.

MIT put the whole course online free under Creative Commons.

Production value aged badly. The teaching didn't.

@MarcoDiBree @DavidSacks @naval Sounds like the Pastor’s profession

I’m so excited that @JensenHuang is a believer in open source now, looking forward to the CUDA and GPU driver open source release!

Your Real Enemy - His Holiness the Dalai Lama tells us that anger — not any outside enemy — is the real destroyer of our inner peace. His answer? Daily practice of compassion and loving-kindness. Video originally recorded on January 11, 2020.

Overwhelming support for open source

Opus 5 is a great model for coding, data analysis, design, biology, knowledge work.

More than any of these eval scores, what is most exciting to me is something else: Opus 5 is our least prompt injectable model yet. It is a bit buried in the system card, but across PI evals and red teaming, Opus 5 is very hard to prompt inject successfully.

And when layering defenses -- strong model alignment, combined with prompt injection probes, combined with Auto Mode in Claude Code -- the success rate for prompt injection attacks drops to ~0. This is new and exciting! More about this soon.

[Mira Murati @miramurati]

The knowledge that makes AI useful is diffused. It lives with scientists, engineers, clinicians, firms. For AI to benefit from distributed knowledge, it must itself be distributed. Agree with Jensen that this is a future worth building.

[Mark Zuckerberg @finkd]

Open source is a positive and important force for both empowering people and preventing centralization. Proud to support this.

This has my full support.

Jensen is right.

Happy 75th Dad!

Today I'm remembering your weirdness and your extraordinary capacity to love.

And for the folks out there who'd like to celebrate with me, go do something kind for someone. Make someone laugh. Put a little more good into the world.

Love you forever.
