Since a diagram is worth a 1000 words, and public is confused about what developments in #AI mean for robotics, I took some time to draw this. Feedback welcomed.

This. And with a few lines of code, you can search on 10s of millions of embeddings on your laptop CPU. With a GPU, that can be in the billions. I haven't yet figured out why people pay for vector search unless it's the same crowd that does "npm install stringreverse".

Introducing "🤖 Task-driven Autonomous Agent"
An agent that leverages @openai's GPT-4, @pinecone vector search, and @langchain framework to autonomously create and perform tasks based on an objective.

This doesn't need to be the case per se, Haskell is getting better support for unboxed types for example.
Also there are languages such as gibbon and sixten (github.com/ollef/sixten) which are exploring new approaches to this problem!

I am sooooooo excited for this paper. We've spent years developing a super fast program induction library. We use it to learn key pieces of language structure.
So much of what Chomskyan linguists say about learnability is totally wrong.

Some folks find this movie hard to fathom.
This is not a rendering it is humanity seeing our largest planet in the solar system.
This is Cassini passing by Jupiter’s great red spot and moons Io and Europa in the foreground.
Magical moments.

I love working with JavaScript, and I’m grateful for the people who make the tools without which I couldn’t work.
Still, I find myself puzzled every time I have to spend hours on plumbing instead of code, and reminds me of the fragility of the ecosystem.

So #JS made it into space! #SpaceX uses #Chromium + #JavaScript for the Dragon 2 flight interface along with C++ for flight computers. JavaScript is not a toy folk, time to accept it. #NASA @BrendanEich space.stackexchange.com/ques…

Here's the thing about AI: you get what you optimize for. If you optimize for a specific skill, like chess or StarCraft, your final system will possess this skill and nothing else. It won't generalize to any other task.
To generalize, you must optimize for generality itself.

whenever someone tells me they wouldn't want to live 300 years, because they'd be bored, I say to myself: wow, that is a genuinely boring person. If I discovered i'd live for centuries, I'd instantly start learning 5-6 languages, 2-3 musical instruments, & nuclear physics

I desperately want Westworld-style futuristic computing interfaces to happen in my career. However, anyone who hopes to build a visual UI for ML or <programming a complex system> should have answers to the challenges raised in this great blog post!
