@anothercohen You are the ICP

The ICP they are all looking for.

[Alex Cohen @anothercohen]

I've now added Wispr, Notion, Granola, Fireflies, Zoom, Gemini, Cluely, Otter, Fathom, Read AI, and Wingrep to every meeting.

Each produces slightly different meeting notes.

I send all of them to Claude and ChatGPT, which push the summaries into Slackbot and Salesforce AI. Linear agents automatically create tickets while Notion agents create follow-ups in Notion. A Zapier workflow then uses 500k tokens to draft a follow up email in Superhuman.

None of it works and all of it is wrong but man, is it beautiful.

AGI is here.

@Laz4rz If you go the YC startup school you will get plenty of LinkedIn style networking. I am also in the area for that.

Introducing &gt;&lt;former

Most transformers are rectangles◻️: every layer has the same width

But is that optimal?🤔

We propose variable-width transformers that have different widths across layers, improving loss while cutting compute &amp; KV cache size 🧵

We really are on the timeline where Ursula von der Leyen references scaling laws.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Important G7 session on AI.

AI is developing exponentially. It is the most important technology of our time.

It comes with immense potential, but also risks for free, democratic societies.

I believe Europe and the US should work together on AI.

Together, we represent 70% of the world market.

We have complementary strengths, shared security interests, and a common responsibility to lead.

So we should deepen our cooperation.

Invest together.

Accelerate adoption everywhere, from industry to healthcare.

And ensure that the most powerful models are trustworthy and safe.

To all technical students and engineers in Europe.

The US export control on LLMs is the first taste of what will become the new norm. Many people are calling for "radical measures" and that we need the equivalent of a Manhattan Project to create change in Europe. But this is not how change will happen. Change will never come top-down from a government. The state and EU can fund, but they cannot found it. That part is on us.

You are the only ones who can change this.

You are among the few people on this continent who actually know how to build foundational technology - LLMs, robotic AI, actuators from scratch, chip infrastructure, rocket engines, organoids. ETH, EPFL, TUM, École Polytechnique, KTH, Imperial and dozens more produce absurd talent every single year. And almost all of it talks itself out of building.

We finish our degrees surrounded by such an incredible average that we're sure someone is always better at [your idea] - so who are we to start? I've seen so many friends at ETH think they need to "get more experience first" and take a job at Nvidia or Google and never do anything interesting again.

Technology-driven companies aren't founded by the most qualified person. They're willed into existence by people who see what others do not and refuse to stop. The person who's "better than you" almost never does it. And as for experience, nothing will teach you how to build the thing like, well, just trying to build the thing.

Our education is a chance most of the world will never have. There are people in Europe who have to worry about getting a job. We get to worry about finding our dream job. We're able to make bets that not many people can make or afford. It's nothing anybody expects you to do, but if you want a life filled with purpose, this is a unique kind of responsibility you can choose to step up to.

So if you actually want to do something ambitious, how about changing a continent?

If you really want change, you cannot wait for others. You are one of the few people who can create it. It starts with you.
