From Toronto to Tokyo: Find out why the world’s #quantum and #AI innovators are turning to Albany.
Capital Region researchers at @NY__Creates’ Albany NanoTech Complex are playing a major role in helping @XanaduAI in Toronto and Rapidus in Chitose prepare for the mass production of chips for #quantumcomputers and/or #AIdatacenters.
@GlobalFoundries’s new U.S. quantum foundry business could deepen ties with international #quantumhardware startups.

If you are a small business looking to enter the defense industrial base, consider setting up a LYNX profile.
This new platform, launched by @DeptofWar, is designed to help remove bureaucratic barriers to entry - making it easier for Main Street to supply our Arsenal of Freedom.

This is what Dario and Sama fear -
- the cost of fine tuned open source models trained on custom data was 95% less than the frontier models
- And they performed better than the frontier models
- And they could train them in less than 48 hours
The big AI labs have no moat..
Even at the enterprise level..
Any sane company would prefer a custom trained open source model instead of paying API pricing to Anthropic and Open AI
If open source keeps growing at the pace it is, frontier labs' business collapses..
only way out is oldest trick in manipulation - FUD -> Fear, Uncertainty, Death
Step 1 - Seed the psyop
- Test a swarm of agents trained to "hack"
- The swarm does what its supposed to do - hack
- Publish a report - AI is too dangerous
Step 2 - weed out the doubters
- Get an employee to quit your company
- Go viral saying both companies are not doing enough to self regulate AI
- AI is dangerous - will kill humanity by the end of the decade
Step 3 - Prepare for fruition
- write an "essay" to "pace the frontier"
- Advocate regulation
- Only a few holier than though companies get to build AI
- Scare the world into agreeing with AI Doom
- Effectively turn your competitors into criminals (genius business strategy)
Endgame -
- Become a cartel that controls AI (and the world)
- Raise prices (coz business is unsustainable... ofc)
- IPO (offload liability of said unsustainable business to the public)
Laugh all the way to the bank 🤑
Win!
.@L3HarrisTech says Palantir helped them beat frontier AI models in less than 2 days, at 95% lower cost:
"When we fine-tuned open source models trained on our own data, we were able to outperform the frontier models in less than 48 hours."
"The cost of our fine-tuned open source model was 95% lower than the frontier models we were using."
"AI is a commodity. It's all about the data. We view our data as a corporate asset. It's our unique hard-earned knowledge."
"We believe American defense companies should not be a vassal for frontier AI labs, handing over our data and institutional knowledge, hoping to rent back the intelligence it creates."
" We own the model, we own the compute, we own the advantage."

A Tiny Startup Helping Google Take On Nvidia Is Now Worth $18 Billion
A little-known company called Fluidstack has become a test bed for Google’s plans to sell its own AI chip. That’s helped it hit a $18 billion valuation and minted its founders as new billionaires.

Mistral co-founder and CEO Arthur Mensch on open source AI and why no company will want its intelligence running on someone else's grid:
"If you assume that the entire economy is going to run on AI systems, enterprises will just want to make sure that nobody can turn off their systems."
"It's the same way if you have a factory and you connect it to the grid. You want to make sure that nobody's going to turn off the grid because they don't like you... that's one of things that open source technology can bring."
"It's also the only way you can create systems that use the folklore knowledge of your employees."
"That's the knowledge you've accrued for decades. The only way to turn it into an asset that nobody else gets access to is to create your own models based on those open source models."
"This is a technology which is so important that you don't want to be locked into a single vendor."

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
Startup theater.
Holy sh*t. A friend of mine rented this place out for two weeks and is inviting 100 founders to build a startup to compete for $100,000.
Might be the best place to start a company in New York in October.
DM or comment below if you want to be involved as a founder or sponsor.
P.S. All costs are covered for founders ;)

@GioiaRau and I had a fascinating conversation about the role that philanthropy could play in leveraging $6 billion in US and European investments in telescopes to increase our fundamental understanding of the universe. Check it out!
In an exciting moment in astronomy, @NASA is preparing to launch the Roman Space Telescope, but a lack of coordination means we may miss unprecedented scientific opportunities.
Dr. @GioiaRau, internationally recognized senior space leader, and @RenPhilanthropy advisor on space science, spoke to @tkalil2050 about the role of AI and philanthropy in this critical moment.
