I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
@seedrcoil Just discovered @seedrcoil - a game-changer for cloud downloading! No more waiting on slow torrents . Their interface is super clean and downloads are lightning fast. Checkout if u wish
Wait… I just searched Prashant on @SwiggyInstamart and it legit showed me Croissants 💀😂 Someone else try this and confirm I’m not losing it. 🥐 #croissant#prashant
Jamie Dimon thinks Satoshi will come back one day and print more Bitcoin.
"How do you know it will stop at 21 million?" He keeps asking YEAR after YEAR after YEAR.
Bro it's 5 LINES OF CODE and not even Satoshi can force us to change it!
What could OpenAI’s breakthrough Q* be about?
1. It sounds like it’s related to Q-learning. (For example, Q* denotes the optimal solution of the Bellman equation.)
2. Alternatively, referring to a combination of the A* algorithm and Q learning.
One natural guess is that it is AlphaGo-style Monte Carlo Tree Search of the token trajectory. 🔎 It seems like a natural next step: Previously, papers like AlphaCode showed that even very naive brute force sampling in an LLM can get you huge improvements in competitive programming. The next logical step is to search the token tree in a more principled way. This particularly makes sense in settings like coding and math where there is an easy way to determine correctness. -> Indeed, Q* seems to be about solving Math problems 🧮
This will ultimately be cited as one of the finest examples of mob irrationality.
It's saying: "We're upset, so we're instinctively polarizing and threatening to hand over the world's most powerful company to Microsoft for $0."
