Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
hot take - I think there’s actually a place for generative models in the creative process, but in a cursor kind of way where an agent’s action space is the params within a DAW. But generating vocal leads and full on audio from simple prompts will always be lame and uninspired
I grew up singing. I sang everywhere I went, I wrote songs in my diary, I told teachers that I wanted to be a singer & songwriter when I grew up.
But wanting to be a musician in 2006 required resources that a low-income family didn't have. My parents couldn't afford to get me any instruments. They couldn't pay for music lessons. They couldn't get me into studios. A dream I had became just a memory, until now.
I am beyond proud and honored to get to work at a company that is enabling music creation for everyone. For the 13 year old kid in their bedroom who dreams of being a musician, you can be one. For all of the professional artists, you can do more of what you love.
I really wish Suno existed 20 years ago when I was a kid in elementary school, showing strangers songs I wrote with no way to produce them. But I'm really, really happy that it exists today, for all of the other kids who might need it.
We are still just getting started :)
Nominating Pedro Pascal for his 5 total minutes of screen time in The Last of Us season 2 but snubbing Diego Luna in Andor is insane. I'm going to shoot myself live onstage at the Emmys
and that’s not even really a commentary on any particular political bias. It’s just I legit thought i was watching a Gatorade ad for the first few seconds
3D gaussian splatting + time (video) = 4D gaussian splatting is now possible
This means in the near future you'll be able to fly around on your phone in any video you recorded
A lot like the "braindance" in Cyberpunk 2077
