When I arrived in Vancouver, he showed me his hazmat suit. It was scary.
Then we left and flew to six major Canadian cities with nutritional science departments who could accept me for a PhD. Five said yes, Montreal said no as my French wasn’t good enough. The University of Toronto offered me a research officer position. I told them I would probably accept the offer from a South African University and will be returning in two years. However, while I was away, Tosca had sold my home in Johannesburg, so we moved to Toronto in two weeks. That story is in my new book, TIMELESS.
This is WILD!
Sam Altman says in this Vanity Fair interview that GPT 6.1 Astra was scrapped because of an overly high risk of AI eventually going uncontrollably ROGUE.
"6.1 Astra, the current model we had ready to go, I think would have tipped too much towards the accident risk.”
"Accident risk" refers to a class of concerns Altman describes a minute earlier in the interview:
"There are kind of two major ways that this could go wrong ... you can have a big safety accident, eventually one that leads to like a real loss of control where AI, you know, escapes and it's out doing-- wreaking havoc on the internet and society can't really get control back."
The WSJ reported that OpenAI is continuing to develop a NEW and more powerful generation using the same base model as the scrapped GPT 6.1 Astra 😱
Andrej Karpathy:
"Prompting is going away. Delete everything, keep Graph."
In just 69 minutes, he shows how to build graphs and why they're the only layer that survives in the end
Prompts → Agents → Loops → Graphs
a loop keeps one agent running until the job is done
a graph decides which agents exist and what each one passes to the next
anyone can build an agent, almost nobody builds the graph that runs them
