World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li: "The world is not made of words."

"Language models have given machines an extraordinary command of concepts, vocabulary, and reasoning, but the physical world, virtual or real, runs on a different substrate."

"Where language models learn the statistical structure of text, world models learn the statistical structure of space and time: how light falls on a surface, how a garden looks from an angle no camera has captured, how objects respond to force and follow the laws of physics."

"Language gave machines a way to talk about that world. World models are how machines will finally come to understand, imagine, reason and interact with it."

Nassim Taleb: pick two people at random

If their combined height is 4.1m, it's basically 2.05 + 2.05.
If their combined wealth is $36M, it's almost never 18 + 18 - it's ~$1,000 and ~$36M.

Height lives in "Mediocristan," where the average tells you everything.
Wealth - and markets - live in "Extremistan," where one event dominates the whole picture.

Ruin there never comes from a string of bad days.
It comes from a single one.

~1hr lecture, free. The Black Swan author at Cambridge on why the statistics you were taught break exactly where it matters.

Being right on average means nothing if one tail empties the account.

This woman just shattered everything I thought I knew about quantum physics in 60 seconds 😱

"Quantum physics isn’t just science, it’s logical spirituality. You don’t attract what you want. You align with what you already are."

Every version of you already exists in the quantum field - The wealthy you, the happy you, the successful you.

"The quantum field doesn’t respond to begging. It responds to certainty."

Your most powerful tool is visualization.

‘Our minds don’t know the difference between imagination and reality.’

Time isn’t linear, you can pull your future into the now & re-code your past.

You are not a person inside the universe.

You ARE the universe experiencing itself through you.

"Go live like the miracle you are.”

This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard:

“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”

Carl Jung, this line may contain the most wisdom in the fewest words ever

[The Shift Journal @TheShiftJournal]

“A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never visited, spoken to men who died centuries ago, and walked in worlds that no longer exist. Reading does not merely inform him; it enlarges him. It stretches the boundaries of his own experience until he becomes something more than himself.”

-G. K. Chesterton

A man who reads old books cannot be fully captured by modern stupidity. He has dead kings, prophets, poets, killers, saints, drunks, generals, and madmen whispering in his bloodstream. The feed has no chance against this.
