Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.

@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

This works really well btw, at the end of your query ask your LLM to "structure your response as HTML", then view the generated file in your browser. I've also had some success asking the LLM to present its output as slideshows, etc.

More generally, imo audio is the human-preferred input to AIs but vision (images/animations/video) is the preferred output from them. Around a ~third of our brains are a massively parallel processor dedicated to vision, it is the 10-lane superhighway of information into brain. As AI improves, I think we'll see a progression that takes advantage:

1) raw text (hard/effortful to read)
2) markdown (bold, italic, headings, tables, a bit easier on the eyes) <-- current default
3) HTML (still procedural with underlying code, but a lot more flexibility on the graphics, layout, even interactivity) <-- early but forming new good default
...4,5,6,...
n) interactive neural videos/simulations

Imo the extrapolation (though the technology doesn't exist just yet) ends in some kind of interactive videos generated directly by a diffusion neural net. Many open questions as to how exact/procedural "Software 1.0" artifacts (e.g. interactive simulations) may be woven together with neural artifacts (diffusion grids), but generally something in the direction of the recently viral https://t.co/z21CP5iQfu

There are also improvements necessary and pending at the input. Audio nor text nor video alone are not enough, e.g. I feel a need to point/gesture to things on the screen, similar to all the things you would do with a person physically next to you and your computer screen.

TLDR The input/output mind meld between humans and AIs is ongoing and there is a lot of work to do and significant progress to be made, way before jumping all the way into neuralink-esque BCIs and all that. For what's worth exploring at the current stage, hot tip try ask for HTML.

@PrimeVideo Only now (b/c have a life and family) just found out @WheelOfTime was canceled after looking forward to its for the last year. Very sad it's too expensive to continue one of the best series ever made.

The talk voted “most mind-blowing” at our workshop was on post-AGI values by @BerenMillidge. The main idea: cooperation and pro-social values could remain viable because they’re competitive. After all, they won in our Malthusian past!

[Edward Grefenstette @egrefen]

Not to unfairly single out SV and tech in general, but a lot of people who have been waxing lyrical about building a beautiful future seem awfully and conspicuously silent about the ugliness of the present.

Thankfully there are notable exceptions, but there's a broad disconnect.

NEW:

There’s been a lot of discussion lately about rising graduate unemployment.

I dug a little closer and a striking story emerged:

Unemployment is climbing among young graduate *men*, but college-educated young women are generally doing okay.

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

This is more than worth reading. Fantastically written. Zero pandering. The message may be chilling, but the writing is some of the best you will ever read. I have no affiliation, except as a fellow earthling. Best -
