@Strife212 “clearly” is benching 350 right now. It’s not black and white i think, there’s levels to it, if we take your logic what would stop us, given time and energy to do by hand all the calculations that happen at a given moment in a human mind?

@AbHomineDeus there’s also a non zero chance the universe collapses on itself in 10 minutes

@tensor_rotator Weird, you’re drawing a line between open source and frontier, did Anthropic not build on top of open research and frameworks? Human progress has always been about building on top of others. Complaining about distillation is like pulling the ladder up behind you.

AI’s next frontier is Spatial Intelligence, a technology that will turn seeing into reasoning, perception into action, and imagination into creation. But what is it? Why does it matter? How do we build it? And how can we use it?

Today, I want to share with you my thoughts on building and using world models to unlock spatial intelligence in this essay below. 1/n

@springpard no mathematician here but i do think that mathematics itself isn’t so much something to be considered real or existing in the first place but it describes our reality, in fact it can even represent virtually any reality so in a sense mathematics can go beyond our own reality

[Ayoub @hanineay]

@aidan_mclau Interesting you feel that way

[Ayoub @hanineay]

@liron is it bait? i’m not sure if it is or if you don’t know anything about thermodynamics and the brain and quantum physics.. to compare the brain to a “neural net algorithm running on a classical computer architecture” with such confidence that’s crazy 💀

[Ayoub @hanineay]

@NathanLands you think frontier networks all require billions of dollars? you really have no idea what’s possible

The race for LLM "cognitive core" - a few billion param model that maximally sacrifices encyclopedic knowledge for capability. It lives always-on and by default on every computer as the kernel of LLM personal computing.
Its features are slowly crystalizing:

- Natively multimodal text/vision/audio at both input and output.
- Matryoshka-style architecture allowing a dial of capability up and down at test time.
- Reasoning, also with a dial. (system 2)
- Aggressively tool-using.
- On-device finetuning LoRA slots for test-time training, personalization and customization.
- Delegates and double checks just the right parts with the oracles in the cloud if internet is available.

It doesn't know that William the Conqueror's reign ended in September 9 1087, but it vaguely recognizes the name and can look up the date. It can't recite the SHA-256 of empty string as e3b0c442..., but it can calculate it quickly should you really want it.

What LLM personal computing lacks in broad world knowledge and top tier problem-solving capability it will make up in super low interaction latency (especially as multimodal matures), direct / private access to data and state, offline continuity, sovereignty ("not your weights not your brain"). i.e. many of the same reasons we like, use and buy personal computers instead of having thin clients access a cloud via remote desktop or so.

Defeating death must be humanity’s #1 objective.

Big things are happening right now in our small corner of the galaxy. The most important: super intelligence is in the birth canal on planet earth. Companies and countries are racing towards it. The financial, military, and psychological incentives are so powerful that nothing can stop it. Not regulation, not caution, not even fear.

We humans have a strong bias to think about this development from our self-interested perspective: will we have jobs? What will we do with our time? Will we and our families be safe?  Will AI, or humans with AI, superimpose their will on us all? Will we even want to live in a new world of omnipresent super intelligence?

The reality is that no one knows the answers to these questions. When we face uncertainty, we fill the silence with speculation. The louder the unknown becomes, the more we pretend we understand. We’ll do anything to avoid quietly sitting with the reality that we don’t know.

What we do know:
1) AI is powerful and is becoming increasingly powerful very fast.
2) We don’t know what comes next.
3) We have limited control as the world is a complex, emergent system.

It begs the question, what do each of us do?

If control is limited, then the only rational act is alignment. We align with life itself.

We make defeating death our #1 objective as a species.

How does this help anything you may ask?

The environment in which we birth super intelligence matters. A warring, self-destructive, dopamine-addicted, profit-at-any-cost society has a certain vibe. A peaceful, cooperative society that deeply respects intelligent life is a different vibe. 

A civilization addicted to dopamine and destruction will raise an intelligence in its own image.  A civilization devoted to vitality and cooperation will raise a guardian, not a predator.

If you think it's impractical to expect humanity to change itself. It’s been done before.

For example: the Copernican revolution, rule of law, abolition of slavery, universal human rights, the scientific method, quantum and relativity, and recognition of the unconscious.

The next awakening is emerging now: existence itself becomes the highest virtue. The body, the planet, societal systems and intelligence are all instruments of continuation. We are not owners of life, but its stewards.

This does not mean self-sacrifice. It requires self-realization: the creation of a right to exist, giving us each a personal and moral reason to shepherd this new era.

Four Layers of Don’t Die

The individual
Start where you stand. Recognize Big Die: fast food, junk food, alcohol, smoking, doom scrolling… Everything that trades vitality for dopamine. If we all stopped consuming Die, Die stops being manufactured.

Capital and culture
Capital flow is the most powerful force in the world. Redirect it. Make health the new GDP. Reward production that perpetuates life, not depletes it. Align profit with vitality and not entropy.

Political
Our systems were built to manage property and rights, not existence. Don’t Die is a new social contract: the right to persist and the duty to preserve existence.

Technological
As we birth artificial intelligence, we must raise it in an environment that values life. AI alignment begins with human alignment. If we want AI to protect existence, we must show it what existence looks like when it protects itself.

If history is a record of awakenings, this is the next.  From geocentrism to heliocentrism, from slavery to equality, from ignorance to science. Now, the awakening is existence itself.  A civilization that chooses to not die teaches intelligence what it means to live.

Our task is not to predict the future but to preserve the possibility of one. To make vitality the organizing principle of civilization. To make life the highest form of intelligence.

The greatest story ever told is not how we were born, but how we refused to die.
