i get more anxious when i see an unexpected deposit in my bank account than an unexpected withdrawal
there are megachads walking around who can work out backprop in a neural net by hand on a whiteboard; matrix differentials and all
and find the whole exercise trivial
it’s a wild world out there
my friend can find a instagram reel extremely entertaining but she refuses to leave a like on it unless it has sufficient likes from other people
we underestimate how many people in society think this way
the problem is not with ai use in creative endeavors
its with *distasteful* ai use in creative endeavors
every steak enthusiast reaches a point where the grocery store/local butcher no longer satisfies them and they must now buy by the kilo from a niche artisan seller online
genius idea:
harness for hill-climb that gives the llm richer search semantics.
who's working on this?? i bet there's a yc startup doing exactly this in this batch
in my experience an llm can hillclimb most research objectives but they still make silly decisions that dont pan out, and thus need to be steered.
doesnt feel like we've completely automated research... yet
the best compliment you can ever give to a professor is to be intellectually curious and to seek out their input/advice

Owner has raised $240M, reached a $2.3B valuation, and crossed $100M ARR.
Goldman Sachs Alternatives led the round, joined by Meritech, Redpoint, Headline, & Jack Altman.
The world is racing to build AI to replace people’s jobs. Owner is building AI to do the opposite:
there was a time when i’d respond to bad cold emails to help those sellers improve their game when it was blatantly poorly personalized or reeked of ai, etc…
i wonder how some of them are doing

There is a child with a rare disease who is currently suffering and struggling to manage his symptoms. Rare as this is, you can directly help him.
Today we are launching the "Rare Disease, Real Kid" Hackathon, and there are $50,000 in prizes from @AnthropicAI and @awscloud.
We (@huggingface & @Sagebio) are helping this child open his genome and clinical data to the community, so that we can find what's caused his disease and what currently-approved drugs could help him.
I doubt I need to motivate this much further or explain how rare it is for a family to share their child's genome and clinical data, but if you're not sure, consider this:
Until very recently, it wasn't feasible for patients like this to get treatment because their disease was so rare that the economics could never justify the investment. Now, as we've seen, people with rare diseases are starting to be able to find the answers themselves (with the help of AI tools, cheaper sequencing, etc). This kid is not able to do that for himself and neither are his parents, so we're asking you for help. Both for this kid and to prove that it's possible for everyone else suffering from a rare disease.
More details in 🧵.

i may have lost -20 points of iq from reading too much claude text in the past couple months
Im so damn sick of being absolutely right and having my reframes be load bearing
look at the army of robots marching at 00:31
china is cooking; they are not messing around when it comes to robotics at all!! far ahead than what i can see here
my prediction: the us wins the ai software stack but china wins physical
token spent is cutting into headcount spent
ive heard enough murmurs about this from various friends in growing startups to spot this is a growing trend
curious to see how this plays out
the true danger of ai psychosis is what i call "out of range prompting"
this is when you prompt an llm on a topic that is far outside your range of competency so you have no ability critically judge its response and it can convince you of non-sense very easily
