What if LLMs represent the end game for ML where future leaps will be in scaling and optimizations. Cognition is also founded on language after all.

[Dudu Mimran @dudumimran]

@ShaharTzafrir נשמע קצת כמו premature optimization אלא אם כן המוצר מבוסס ועובד עם אופק יציבות של 18 חודשים לפחות - הסיכון הראשי זה להיתקע עם מודל שמהר מאוד יתרחק מהחזית שגם ככה ייקח הרבה זמן לגרום לו לעשות מה שרוצים כאשר בזמן הזה הFrontier כבר קפץ כמה צעדים קדימה. קרקע לא יציבה לאופטימיזציה.

If I consult a public llm like chatgpt about a new patent idea and my content is used later for training the llm and later potentially regenerated in some form in others' chats does it mean it was a public disclosure?

@garrytan Agentic coding productivity should be measured as the ratio of value/loc not just loc - optimizing for loc is a maintenance/rewrite nightmare and the honey trap of coding agents as a proxy for productivity

@bgurley Probably Android playbook where they undermine closed wall models by open sourcing the chokepoint and win on ecosystem which generates more information for them eventually

This is an astonishing monologue, straight from @ChrisCuomo’s heart after he watched the Hamas 10/7 atrocity videos and suddenly everything made sense. Please make time to watch this.

[Sam Altman @sama]

for a long time i said that antisemitism, particularly on the american left, was not as bad as people claimed.

i'd like to just state that i was totally wrong.

i still don't understand it, really. or know what to do about it.

but it is so fucked.

Rabbi Hirschy of @HarvardChabad sent a personal email to @Harvard President Gay on Nov. 28th inviting her to attend the Hamas atrocities documentary and to meet the Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations.

President Gay did not respond, but her chief of staff did:

“Dear Hirschy,

Thank you for reaching out. As you may have seen, Claudine has been asked to testify in front of congress next week, so she will be out of town.

Best,

Katie”

I note that the President’s congressional testimony is the day after the December 4th showing of the film, i.e.,Tuesday, December 5th at 10:15am.

I reached out to Pres. Gay an hour or so after her chief of staff’s email, and strongly encouraged her to see the film because, among other reasons, I believe it would be very helpful to her and to Harvard to tell the Congress that she had seen it with her own eyes.

What better way for her to show the seriousness with which she is taking the issues around October 7th and antisemitism?

To make the logistics easier, I offered to fly her and her staff immediately after the viewing to D.C, with dinner on the plane so we could meet and talk. I wanted, among other things, to help prepare her with the likely questions she would receive.

She turned me down.

She was succinct in her email:

“Thank you for the offer. While I appreciate the invitation, I will be out of town at that time.”

I can’t imagine anything more important for the Harvard President to do now than to bear witness to the atrocities before testifying about the Hamas protests and antisemitism on campus.

It may be true that she is ‘out of town’ as I am sure she is flying to DC that day, but it sure sends a bad message to the students, the faculty, and the alumni community about the seriousness with which she is taking the issue of antisemitism on campus.

And it is an insult to the Israeli Ambassador who is flying to Boston just to present the documentary at Harvard.

President Gay’s failed leadership in managing the impact of October 7th on campus in large part explains why antisemitism has exploded at Harvard. And she is also setting a bad example for other universities and institutions.

We are sadly witnessing a grave failure of leadership at Harvard, one of the most important American institutions, at a critical time in its history.

You could say that President Gay has only been on the job since July 1st, but then you might compare how deftly @dartmouth president Sian Beilock has handled the Israel-Palestinian issues on her campus. And she started two weeks before President Gay on June 12, 2023.

I forgot to mention that President Gay never replied or even acknowledged my letter of November 4th https://t.co/g0qSqrgPJ6

Nearly a month has passed since I emailed it to her and the full board.

Crickets…

Being in Israel, I’ve been hearing crazy stories

One is that @amazon has an employee, Sasha Troufanov, who was kidnapped by Hamas along with his entire family

Amazon’s top leadership is aware but has declined a public statement as it’s “too controversial”

@vkhosla One perspective on AGI is to view the cost of development of such capability which is rapidly dropping across time in a much accelerated pace nowdays. Especially the economical version of it as you describe. Debating whether it is possible is futile IMHO.

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

Shabbat shalom. Let the light shatter the veil of darkness. Like every Shabbat since 10/7, my thoughts goes to the empty chairs at dinner tonight. Time to bring all our hostages home. Sending ❤️ to their families.

We are mourning the massacre on October 7, carried out by Hamas terrorists, where hundreds of innocent people were brutally murdered. Here is Idan Amedi in Gaza, raising the flag of the Nova Festival that celebrated peace.
Praying for our soldiers & the return of the hostages 🤍
