Intelligence ~ ability to create abstract complex internal world models, and use those to get more accurate predictions of the impact of actions in the world over longer rollouts.

Hence, intelligence ~ predicting the future better and further than others

[andrea bonarrigo @WaverAndrew]

People naturally converge to positions of leverage on the world proportional to their intelligence.

The smartest you are the most you should be seeking to speedrun the game to find the highest leverage position you can afford for your level.

@dashboardcrimes @Polymarket get your point, but under a 100 tech openings for a company of a T market cap, are quite a proof they live by their words

[andrea bonarrigo @WaverAndrew]

there is a gap between what people know/understand and the reality, and people fill it with imagination.

The larger this gap, the more unhinged the conspiracies.

@josefchen I've always been so curious about a foundational model for food, love this work!

[andrea bonarrigo @WaverAndrew]

@Corgis_story My point is that X is not the place or way to make such accusations; the police are. If you had any serious proof to back what you claim, you should be telling law enforcement, not perjuring people behind an anon account.

Most ridiculous thing I’ve seen this week. I met Rich a year ago at a conference, and we spent a few days hanging out with the same friend group. Even though we didn’t keep in touch much afterward, I have great memories of him as both a person and a super generous friend. Why would you target someone in this way? Getting visibility by shitting on others is never ethical not sustainable for you.

The Singularity will be reached when will AI understand more about how the human mind reasons than we understand how AI thinks

[andrea bonarrigo @WaverAndrew]

@asimahmed @NianticSpatial @SpatialJP love the hyper realistic graphics, but how of you ensure the geometric precision of the objects in the environment so that a robot can learn to reason about it?

[andrea bonarrigo @WaverAndrew]

Hot take: we'll give software away for free and make money on maintenance, just like PlayStation sells consoles at a loss and profits from games

.@louismosley says in just two years, Palantir has helped the NHS:

— Give 110,000 operations patients wouldn’t have had otherwise
— Reduced discharge delays by 15%
— Increased number of patients who get notified of a cancer diagnosis within 28 days by 6.8%

“We’re delivering £5 for every £1 the government has spent.”

“We’re delivering for patients.”

@MaziyarPanahi amazing! Trying to re-implant, have you made the code public?

best time in history to:
- read through a list of professions
- find 20 people in different professions and follow them at work for a day
- figure out what tools would help them most if ai improves 10x
- choose a niche, understand it well, and replace legacy software

the older i get the more i realize how much of life is just increasing your surface area for luck.

go outside more. travel when you can. try new cafés. wander into museums. take a different route home. hike a new trail. see a city you’ve never seen. bring a notebook. talk to strangers. ask better questions. start something small on the side.

in other words, give yourself more chances for something unexpected to happen.

you can literally just do things.

and strangely enough, the more you do, the more luck seems to find you.

@samsiavoshian @ycombinator @GoogleDeepMind super cool

[andrea bonarrigo @WaverAndrew]

It’s definitely a hot question, and I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about it. Personally, it clicked when I realised the number of opportunities I get is directly proportional to the quality of events and network I have and it compounds over time. I believe a master’s should either widen your network or get you a work pass in a country you want to work in, and for me both apply!

[andrea bonarrigo @WaverAndrew]

got into MIT data science master’s.

Dreams do come true, just trust the process.
From econ, from italy, love going against the odds :)

[andrea bonarrigo @WaverAndrew]

@createdbymason @CoinbaseDev @ETHGlobal applied :)

Pure software is rapidly becoming un-investable.
