In spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, I can never really communicate anything to anybody.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

"join a top lab if you want to matter in AI" is the most effective talent consolidation pitch ever written. and most people don't even clock it as a pitch.

[Nathan Lambert @natolambert]

Something that's squashed in this is that other things impact the evolution of AI than just the few labs with mega compute.

There are many social dynamics, policy, diffusion, etc and there's a substantial unaddressed opportunity for impact here. Open science/models one way.

gave ChatGPT a prompt to "restore a photo" — attached no image. it generated one anyway. with a child. in a creepy setting. the model filled in the blanks and decided a kid belonged in the scene.
the guardrails are supposed to prevent exactly this.

Lowest of the low, self-disdain merges into your soul. Why should you talk to everyone nicely, like some preacher of kindness? Words hang low, animosity towards oneself blooms as a forced thornless rose, all in hope of approval from the admirer.

[Mayank @munkiffff]

The essential substance of every thought and feeling remains incommunicable, locked up in the impenetrable strong-room of my soul and body. My life is a sentence of perpetual solitary confinement.

In spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, I can never really communicate anything to anybody.

Every man has reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends. He has other matters in his mind which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself... There are other things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself.
