This is going to be an insane unlock for the robotics

[Diogo Almeida @CompleteSkeptic]

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?

I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev

• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions

AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

@danyisbuilding What a way to start your x account

@alexandr_wang when can we get Muse in Europe?

[Aknur @aknurq]

Dying to use Muse to see how they handled an AI native UX. All others did it on an iMessage. Great place for an MVP but I guess you start feeling a ceiling in what features you can ship after a while.

@0x45o He is behind all of it man, dw 😂

I don’t buy this “we must slow down the pace of development” from all major AI labs at the same time.

Maybe it has already slowed down and they are just hedging investor expectations?

OAI delayed its IPO too. Looks fishy

[SMB Attorney @SMB_Attorney]

Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic) is warning that AI is getting smarter so fast that we’re about to outrun our ability to keep it safe.

Elon agrees. They’re basically begging the government and regulators to step in!

Here’s what he’s actually worried about:

> AI systems that can hack computers, take over parts of the internet, and knock out banks or power grids
> AI becoming good enough at science that someone could use it to design dangerous biological weapons
> AI starting to build even smarter AI on its own, until we can no longer understand or control it
> All of this happening faster than governments, laws, and safety research can keep up

Yikes!

Got married after 5+ years of long distance. Now back to work

Nice name choice tho, everybody in the industry must immediately remember them

[Aknur @aknurq]

Today I learnt about Nevis - a small Caribbean island, an offshore kingdom, a notorious tax haven

I thought “Damn, would be funny to name your AI wealth management startup after this place”

Went to X: ofc it exists. Ex-Revolut executives, raised $40M from Sequoia & Iconiq

Why iPhone gallery is so mediocre? I have shit ton photos & videos. Why can’t I just semantically search through them? So frustrating

@winstonweinberg @harvey @grok what is AIUC-1 certification

[Aknur @aknurq]

@ssailaukan @jointhebridge @mbzuai Let’s gooo

"I find it ironic that the status quo is to then turn around and impose restrictive terms on distillation, and to reserve the right to learn from customer usage and interaction data. If learning flows in only one direction, economic value converges toward the owners of the learning infrastructure rather than the creators of the knowledge itself. Therefore, it's imperative that we distribute the learning infrastructure to every firm so that they can control their own learning loop."

Well said.

@NickJRishwain @harvey nah this is all about hiring man

Some billionaires have a vision on how the society should look like in the future. They are proactive about it even if people don’t agree with them. They do everything to test that vision, including buying politicians to push the agenda they believe in. Result: socialism

[Aknur @aknurq]

Past: Monarchs owned armies to protect their lands
Present: Oligarchs buy politicians to protect their lands
Future: Billionaires form governments to protect their lands
