Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: https://t.co/Lh6PWae178

@RPudhucode @SebJohnsonUK @mntruell @ArVID220u What’s the relevance? Shitpoting?

@sanjiva I don’t personally know you or haven’t even met you.

But many thanks for making a lasting dent in the tech space, especially in Sri Lanka, and being such an inspiration, Sanjiva.

@dev_kunjadia What’s the relevance? Why tf is this on my timeline?

Agentic coding is a form of machine learning. Generated code is best treated as a blackbox artifact whose behavior and generalization should be managed via empirical evaluation, like with any ML model.

@SawyerMerritt A pretty attractive deal. A slight problem is you only get ~4.7 KWh panel array, which is a bit small.

It is so funny to watch non-compiler engineers suddenly discovering that many modern compilers are actually non-deterministic. Sweet summer children! Can’t wait them discovering how many known bugs a typical compiler has.

@sandislonjsak @pmarca Enjoying the dev work again but doing more for sure. Not mainly because of the delivery pressure but due to the extra curiosity. Sometimes worry this would cause burnout.

BREAKING: Anthropic is in talks to buy AI Chips from a UK startup!

The startup, @fractile_ai, is one of the UK's most exciting companies at the moment.

Its chips rely on a different kind of memory technology to Nvidia’s GPUs, which is called static random access memory or SRAM.

It is meant to improve the speed and cost of AI inference.

The supposed deal comes as @AnthropicAI is looking to reduce its reliance on Nvidia.

Fractile is currently raising $200m at a $1bn+ valuation, and no doubt this news will help.

We've seen a lot of news recently about Anthropic and OpenAI expanding their london offices which is GREAT, but it doesn't compare with seeing UK startups going toe to toe with Nvidia.

LETS GO
