@DicksonPau @immasiddx Ah yes, the classic strawberry riddle which has stumped generations.

@IterIntellectus Long past time.

@mcuban @AndrewYang That’s right, there is a world of difference between generating even exceptional output and integrating that output into our institutions and systems coherently.

Don't leave AI to the STEM folks.

They are often far worse at getting AI to do stuff than those with a liberal arts or social science bent. LLMs are built from the vast corpus human expression, and knowing the history & obscure corners of human works lets you do far more with AI

I'M BLOWN AWAY.

Andrej Karpathy just explained Software 3.0 at YC.

BIG IDEAS: English is coding. AI is electricity. And, build for LLMs, not just people.

Key takeaways:

Demis Hassabis is calling on philosophers to step in. He says technologists shouldn't decide AGI's future alone.

“We need a new Kant or Wittgenstein to help map out where society should go next.”

Politics, ethics, and theology will be essential to navigating a post-AGI world.

We’ve developed Gemini Diffusion: our state-of-the-art text diffusion model.

Instead of predicting text directly, it learns to generate outputs by refining noise, step-by-step. This helps it excel at coding and math, where it can iterate over solutions quickly. #GoogleIO

A monk walks into the temple garden and sees a robot in meditation.

Robot: “I am just simulating meditation.”
Monk: “Me too.”

@sama The most valuable connections - human or otherwise - are those who can celebrate our strengths while also gently pointing to our blind spots. We lose that path to personal development long term if we design for soothing deceptions.

@AlpacaAurelius Go build.

@anothercohen Almost like we’ll need to bring people on site again like the old days of six years ago. You know that was fairly common pre-pandemic.

You ask what I truly want from this life, Beloved?
To be lost in love with you, to be deep in the heart
Of devoted contemplation. To know joy. To know peace.
My heart, I wish to write absurd romantic poems
And paint all the flat stones with bright outlandish colors.
For the wings of the great white bird we saw
To be the delight of our day. To understand
The energy in every slight shift of the cells and skin,
Every texture and rhythm of life. To dance
to a cricket's song or crow over a new striped fish we saw in the river.
To visit the edges of the universe on our most dramatic days,
Or to laugh together while sweeping on the most mundane.
And all of it worship. All of it priceless.
Each moment a pearl on an infinite string,
Each breath a reminder of endless grace.
To be fools, dreamers, devoted ones, overjoyed and careless,
Dancing between galaxies and kitchen floors...

@francoisfleuret I don’t see a silence, feel like it’s all we’re talking about — right now it’s easier for polymaths to be *heard* because of the cross credibility in STEM. But… there’s no silence.

@elonmusk Brain the size of a planet?

[Nomitronz @nomitronz]

Why do we not have moral reasoning benchmarks for AGI in addition to skills and task benchmarks? What if something more skilled at certain tasks (like coding) would score worse on not following illegal orders?

[Nomitronz @nomitronz]

@LastQuake Definitely felt it… very vivid sensations here in Burlingame
