At some point, highly capitalised frontier AI companies will produce hardware to run their models (for coding, coworking, etc.) or create licensed model products, such as software.

@dpoddolphinpro It can use gyros to stabilise, and if there is a tower optical and radar to approach, in the sea the camera buoy is moving because of the waves and the pressure, so this can’t be fully taken as a bad attempt unless we see the real data and control system graphs.

@elonmusk @JeffBezos Invention driven by capitalism, free markets & freedom is the greatest intrinsic good the world has ever known. It has lifted billions out of the impoverished struggle for survival into lives of education, health & leisure. Philanthropy does not exist without it. 🇺🇸🚀🤍

@MarioNawfal When it clears, everyone goes back to their race and religion politricks.

They'll forget this shit happens multiple times per year and wont ask for change.

Funny how you have to ask and beg, whilst believing you're not slaves loooooool

The bitter lesson in 26 words:

Don’t be distracted by human knowledge, as AI has been historically.
Instead focus on methods for creating knowledge that scale with computation, like search and learning.

@lugaricano Crazy how this is the lesson career politicians took from all this! We are cooked!! 😭😭

Singapore’s Foreign Minister, Dr Balakrishnan casually explaining how he built his own AI agent (a 2nd brain for diplomacy) using Claude & WhatsApp integration etc. on a Raspberry Pi

@theallinpod @chamath What about being on the side of the Taiwanese people, then? Was it all about money all along, and not about values like freedom or democracy?

This is why AI + humans are a great team!

[Haider. @haider1]

Yann LeCun says LLMs are strongest in domains where language itself is the substrate of reasoning, like math and code

They can solve problems, prove theorems, and write programs — but they are not creative mathematicians, software architects, or computer scientists

"their role is to help humans build"

I think the world cannot comprehend the significance of the event where human-level robot dexterity meets AI!

It will be the end of the old world!

@elonmusk @Tesla I didn’t have the original, so not that great! 🙂 (probably you can train an anti glare /weather filter) or have so much data there isn’t even the need for an explicit filtration stage (which is probably what’s closer to what’s really happening). 🙂

[Ganindu Nanayakkara @ganindu]

@elonmusk @Tesla How would it look normalised? 🧐

[Ganindu Nanayakkara @ganindu]

An FDA equivalent to AI is crazy!! People should be able to release models without regulations and bureaucracy; this is incumbents rigging the game against newcomers and creating moats to stay ahead!

Eyal Waldman is a decent and honorable man whom I have gotten to know closely since October 7, and was one of the first Israelis to reach out to me online once I had grown a presence following the tragedy of my family’s killing in Gaza by Israeli airstrikes. Despite losing his daughter to Hamas’s heinous massacre on October 7, he has been relentlessly pursuing radically pragmatic initiatives, and we have both been in multiple spaces, conferences, events, and arenas to discuss ways in which Palestinians and Israelis can both have safety, security, self-determination, and freedom. He not only supports peace and the inevitable need to establish a Palestinian self-rule because it is the moral thing to do, but he also recognizes it is imperative for protecting Israel’s long-term interests and needs as a Jewish and democratic state.

The blind hatred by the so-called “pro-Palestine” activists against Eyal here is typical behavior of brownshirt-esque militias who simply hear someone’s identity and react blindly despite his goodwill gesture and outreach. The “pro-Palestine” mafia fails to appreciate that there will never be a free or independent Palestine without making alliances with broad segments in Israel, including in government, civil society, business, and faith communities. You don’t have to agree with everything Eyal says or believes to acknowledge that he is a decent, honorable, and a class-A human being, the embodiment of pursuing peace and reconciliation across entrenched narratives and deep personal trauma.
