This sums up a lot of what I've been seeing and feeling for the last few weeks.

This paper didn’t go viral but it should have.

A tiny AI model called HRM just beat Claude 3.5 and Gemini.

It doesn’t even use tokens.

They said it was just a research preview.

But it might be the first real shot at AGI.

Here’s what really happened and why OpenAI should be worried: 🧵

The CTO Breakfast "Geeks on a train" event is this morning. We in the middle car, upper deck. Come join us for breakfast at Mestizos in SLC.

[Tyler Whitaker @tylerwhitaker]

This really resonated with me as a founder. Does anyone else see this? https://t.co/FWB3rYwFwX

"Perfect security" sounds like an oxymoron.

[Scott C. Lemon @humancell]

Claiming perfect security is always amusing to me. This is yet another example of human caused failure of a core security solution for computers. Perfection? | Secure Boot is completely broken on 200+ models from 5 big device makers | Ars Technica https://t.co/UYj3z9OkCf

@windley I totally agree. I'm been explaining Kurzweil's Law of Accelerating Returns lately. It's hard feel urgency around the potential effects of future exponential growth rates. But historical examples can help.

.@RyanTrahan 3rd Target store today and no luck finding any Joyride candy, all sold out! #target #joyride

[Tyler Whitaker @tylerwhitaker]

@jeffbarr You did! It's about time we had you back. Let us know when you are back in town and I'll set it up!

[Tyler Whitaker @tylerwhitaker]

Looking forward to the CTO Breakfast, 8am tomorrow morning at the American Fork IHOP. Come join us! #ctobreakfast #siliconslopes

Worth watching

[Tyler Whitaker @tylerwhitaker]

@humancell Very cool piece of history. Makes me want to play with it, but I don't have an interesting use case. Anyone have any ideas?

[Tyler Whitaker @tylerwhitaker]

@humancell The Law of Accelerating Returns!

@vergeoverride Some dance to remember, some dance to forget...

Last week I spoke at SUU to kick off this semester's Entrepreneurship Speaker Series. Super fun event. Here's the link, if you're interested in what I had to say: https://t.co/zrT1MFlAA5

[Tyler Whitaker @tylerwhitaker]

There's a powerful message right here.

[Aaron Slodov @aphysicist]

Milei's 2024 Davos talk, directly translated to English by AI (by heygen), in his own accent. Better than the dubbed version imo.

[Tyler Whitaker @tylerwhitaker]

@TelegramSam @windley I just setup home assistant. Not sure I have in all working yet. But I'm definitely headed in that direction.

[Tyler Whitaker @tylerwhitaker]

Beautiful sunset in the Northern Utah mountains tonight.

[Tyler Whitaker @tylerwhitaker]

Merry Christmas!

Excited for the CTO Breakfast "Geeks on a train" event today. Look for us in the center car #205, mezzanine level.
