The campaign by woke Big AI to gain a regulatory capture cartel in Washington just imploded. Stick a fork in it, it's over. The US will be the preeminent AI superpower in the world after all. 🤖🚀🇺🇸

Seems like a big deal. "The capital cost of the power infrastructure is just a tiny fraction (like 3%!) of the capex of the compute, and even just the depreciation of the compute exceeds the cost of even premium power."
i've been going on and on about this, but basically, AI flips electricity on its head.
previously, nearly half the cost of electricity to the consumer was allocated towards distributing it where (and when) you want it.
AI data centers want upwards of hundreds of megawatts of power in one place, most of the time. (and for training they don't care about latency)
The most constrained thing isn't even the energy itself -- there's a surplus during the solar peak -- it's often the sheer availability & the interconnection. It now can take multiple years to get a grid interconnect to draw power of this magnitude, if the location can even handle it.
The capital cost of the power infrastructure is just a tiny fraction (like 3%!) of the capex of the compute, and even just the depreciation of the compute exceeds the cost of even premium power.
Hence, AI hyperscalers and those that aspire to be in their class are traveling to where the power is, are building where power has been (and there's legacy transmission to support it, like old nuclear plants) and are getting into the business of actually building powerplants and reactors.
Utilities and transmission and distribution companies, interconnection queues, all are used to react much slower -- over many years -- unlike the top technology companies, now vying to compete at the highest levels of AI performance.
Since ~99% of energy technologies previously died withering while waiting for utilities to consider them bankable, this represents an extremely fertile, attractive new state of play if you're bringing a new energy technology to market (💁🏻♀️🔆).
Whereas before you'd have to brave what was once called a "green valley of death", now you have teracap companies like microsoft bidding on:
- Conventional, large nuclear fission
- Small modular nuclear reactors
- Engineered Geothermal
- Fusion!
- Stirling Engines 😬
- Who knows what else
- Maybe you, Anon!
Even Tesla is standing up gas generator arrays to burn fossil fuels for their AI power supply. Shit is getting real

Sometimes going through 1000s of discarded VHS tapes I am using to train YOUR AI, well I get some things I just can’t explain.
I am not encoding this.

The number of companies I spoke to, and I mean BIG companies, that are desperate for their engineers to use AI tools, is absurd.
Hardest pill to swallow is that engineers, even the good ones, don't do well in this new environment.
And it's only going to get worse.

I finally realize what the ring in Lord of the Rings represents.
Literally, it's government control and taxation and spending. Everyone wants it. Even people that don't want it have trouble giving it up. "Think of all the problems I could solve." No.

We are going to space and no government is paying for it.
It is partly being paid by one of the most amazing people I know: @rookisaacman.

Here me out... The Doordash for cleaning.
At any time, for any moment of the day, just request someone to come clean in your home.
Don't want do fold your laundry. In 30 minutes, someone is at your door and 30 minutes later, laundry complete.
Dishes
Toilet cleaning

There are two open problems with trying to sell AI (GPT wrappers) to other businesses to help solve their problems:
1. The accuracy and quality of the AI output
2. The pricing/ value proposition
AI needs to be more consistently accurate at a price that businesses see an ROI

"AI alignment problems are also human alignment problems, and that's what's so scary about the language they use.
It's not the machines you want to align, it's me." - @realGeorgeHotz nailing it.
AI Engineering and Social Engineering have far too much overlap atm for my tastes.

You won't believe what I figured out how to get GPT-4 to do with Siri.
HeyDATA.org is our AI project to make computing feel more human
@LanderMedia
Here is the #1 best demo video of the magic of DATA in action.
DATA is a personalized assistant that knows and remembers every conversation you have with it across your iPhone, Mac, iPad, Watch, Texts, Emails, and HomePods. You can talk to DATA right in your AirPods or text it just like a person.
DATA can read, write, understand, speak any language, and translate between them.
It can help with real work and home-life tasks like research, writing, scheduling, reminders, and triage.
And it's easily customizable so you can have DATA automatically do whatever you want whenever you want with just a few taps and natural language instructions - no code required.
DATA can do just about anything you can do on your phone on your behalf automatically including very advanced things Siri can't, like summarizing, analyzing, and drafting replies or writing documents. It can read web pages, texts or emails you show it, or PDFs of any kind.
It can do other real-world tasks that require complex analysis and common sense too, like:
- figure out where the nearest beach is (even when you're in Colorado) and instantly fetch the current surf report up to the current minute.
- summarize and draft replies to entire email chains
- plan out entire work projects or multi-day vacations on your calendar
- sketch out ideas for you in picture form or draft Notion pages with charts and graphs.
DATA can also use its own judgment to determine when to run an action or not, even if you've scheduled it, allowing you to make VERY complex automation that requires many different inputs to make a decision, like for example:
- only opening the blinds on your lunch break if it's sunny out and you're working from home.
DATA works natively and easily with Apple HomeKit & other shortcuts.
DATA can also take initiative and check in with you throughout the day by voice or text and proactively send messages to you and others on your behalf based on your personal and professional goals, current tasks, and calendar.
DATA can integrate with many apps on your phone and is compatible with multiple large AI language models.
I've gotten to make a few demo videos that I think really capture how powerful DATA can be for everyday life.
This is my favorite demo video that was made on May 5 and is an example use case I made of how commands work - commands allow DATA to actually run actions on your phone like taking pictures and sending messages. This demo shows me taking a picture of an email template, and data drafting an email based on that template. It's gotten much better at realizing when it has just run a command and incorporating that information naturally into the conversation now, especially on GPT-4.
So now that you've seen some of what DATA can do, what's the coolest feature? What features should we add?
What would you use DATA for first?

After hours of research, experimenting and many failures, i managed to get the smoothest AI video2video i have ever done!
Its incredible how this technology lets me turn into any character without any animation or video effects background.
The tools i used:
-Stable Diffusion text2image
-Controlnet Extension
-EBsynth
There is still work to do.
As you can notice, the animations are not perfect.
There are still some "hallucinations" and temporal inconsistencies. This could be solved with higher keyframes grid.
But it also requires more computational power.
If you liked the video make sure to follow, ill be posting more cool ai stuff!
