@bradlind @SabrinaHalper Ok, here you go: https://t.co/Dl5oOKMDWG

Listening to Ilya speak about AI makes me feel like I'm in a movie. His passion is contagious.

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

Mojo🔥! This seems like the language I've been wishing existed for years. The best of both Python and Rust plus some things that can't be done in either.

It's early days but the future looks bright. I recommend their launch video for anyone interested, it was quite entertaining.

Mojo🔥 combines the usability of Python with the performance of C, unlocking unparalleled programmability of AI hardware and extensibility of AI models.

Also, it's up to 35000x faster than Python 🤯 and … deploys 🏎

Next frontier of prompt engineering imo: "AutoGPTs" . 1 GPT call is just like 1 instruction on a computer. They can be strung together into programs. Use prompt to define I/O device and tool specs, define the cognitive loop, page data in and out of context window, .run().

@EMostaque How do you see the latest advances in LLMs affecting embodied AI (self-driving cars, robots, etc.)?

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

@HBAkirmak Thanks, Hasan! Glad you liked it.

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

@momahmood_ 🙌

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

Robots.

I'm not sure how close the current number is to 36 million, but iRobot alone as of Q3 2022 reported 16.4 million connected users. Robot vacuums and self-driving cars are just the beginning.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

What do 36 million people use now that eventually 5 billion will?

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

Hyperlogistics. I like it.

Warehouse robots + autonomous vehicles + delivery humanoids and robot dogs + innovations like @pipedream_labs = the beginning of the internet for atoms.

[Garrett Scott 🕳 @thegarrettscott]

@sama That when hyperlogistics (sub-10 minute last mile delivery, <$1 fee, delivery+return) scales it will have a greater economic impact that the internet.

My initial tweet above was co-written with ChatGPT, in case you noticed a different tone than usual. I'm still trying to figure out when it will be important to mention this and when it can be left unsaid. It feels like a new gray area in society.

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

Are you ready for the future of human-computer interaction? Soon, you'll be able to talk to most software and it will actually understand you like a human would. This will change the way we use technology. We'll start expecting UIs to have a chat option. #ChatGPT

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

@ericjang11 @RemindMe_OfThis 6 months

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

Devs, get ready to build your first chat interface if you haven't done so already. I'm looking forward to learning this art form.

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

ChatGPT is my new favorite brainstorming partner. This thing is OP.

[Sam Altman @sama]

today we launched ChatGPT. try talking with it here:

@hq2ng Thanks!

@timsneath @sir_kif @timsneath, what are the best ways in which contributors can help out with the Flutter web effort? What improvements still need to be implemented to make Flutter suitable for content heavy websites?

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

@Hypertastic1 I think the namable reals (the only ones relavant to reality) can instead be mapped to a countably infinite set of programs that each run in finite time and only require a finite amount of memory.

[Elliot Waite @elliotwaite]

@Hypertastic1 I know that viewing the reals as uncountably infinite is the currently accepted view, but I think there might be a better way that is compatible with a computable view of reality.
