"Build something agents want"

a few months ago I was monitoring the coding agent's actions, now I just monitor token usage

By the time the first child born on Mars asks her parents why their family is there, Starship will have been flying daily for thirty years. The factory down the street will be staffed by Optimus robots running a descendant of Grok that has been self-improving for two decades. The compute that keeps her city alive will come from data centers in space, manufactured from lunar regolith by other robots, launched by a mass driver that has been flinging satellites into deep space at one every few minutes for the better part of a generation. Her parents will have come to Mars on a vehicle named after a starship in an Iain M. Banks novel, because somewhere in the early twenty-first century a man who read those books as a teenager decided to spend his life making them real.

Make our Sun sentient to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars

[George @valmsmith39a]

hence the importance of Grok Imagine

bubble? you mean like inference demand skyrocketing with no end in sight? that bubble?

[George @valmsmith39a]

orbital AI inference... they did the meme

[George @valmsmith39a]

ubiquitous inference faster cheaper

[George @valmsmith39a]

more flops more flops more flops

My day as a software engineer is now split between talking to biological and digital intelligence.

[George @valmsmith39a]

merge me with AI please

[George @valmsmith39a]

i want a digital neo-neocortex

[George @valmsmith39a]

Still frustratingly slow to interact with AI using my meat sticks or even voice. I just want to think to it

[George @valmsmith39a]

some say humans enjoy watching other humans do things like play chess or sports... agreed, but it's fun to watch robots do things too

[Figure @Figure_robot]

Today we're showing Helix 02 that can tidy a living room fully autonomously

Figure is designed so when you leave the house, your home resets exactly how you like it

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

Benchmarks? Where we’re going, we don’t need benchmarks.

[George @valmsmith39a]

wha..

The full video from Cortical Labs explaining how they put 200,000 brain cells onto a silicon chip and had it play Doom is wild:

“When a demon appears on the left of the screen, specific electrodes stimulate the sensory area of the neural culture on the left side. The neurons react to that stimulation. We then listen to their response, the spikes, and interpret that activity as motor commands. If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots.”

@elonmusk @phatman_19 @wholemars actually, is there a way to check the chain of thought traces during that incident? lol i'd be curious what the car was thinking

[George @valmsmith39a]

@elonmusk @phatman_19 @wholemars haha maybe it was just slowing down to check it out.. i would have

[George @valmsmith39a]

My daily inference token usage is going parabolic. Demand feels vertical for me.. no end in sight

[George @valmsmith39a]

humans are now things computers use

[Naval @naval]

A “computer” used to be a job title.

Then a computer became a thing humans used.

Now a computer is becoming a thing computers use.
