Who knew LLMs were the keys we needed to access the multiverse

going down a websim rabbithole, and mulling fun conjectures like your username is (probably?) injected as a personalization prompt to the Claude web app generations

this, but for memecoins

days like today make me appreciate the true magic of SF: in the same evening brainstormed ways to advance longevity w/ Foresight Institute Protocol Labs Allison Duettmann and discussed the latest innovations in decentralized AI w/ ANAGRAM davidfeiock

We were experimenting AGI House w/ turning prompts into web apps (tic-tac-toe games, vegan restaurant locators) a year ago right after GPT-4 came out, now websim is able to do this by typing in any website name using Claude 3, creating a fascinating LLM game multiverse

So much fun jumping back into transformer fundamentals, especially after today's session with Jason Wei on scaling / loss curves and Hyung Won Chung on generalization to remove bottlenecks. Definitely check out this class, thanks Steven Feng FTP for leading this effort!

loom -> worldsim -> websim -> biosim? may test out some bio x AI x sim ideas next weekend AGI House SF

Check out METROPOLIS ■ member ChrisF 's insightful essay on the magic and potential of websim, a project that has captured our imagination over the last few weeks!

Congrats to Vincent Weisser Johannes Hagemann on the Prime Intellect fundraise, we're excited to partner with them via METROPOLIS ■ as they democratize access to AI development!

I've seen the future at the AGI House SF hyperstition hacknight w/ Nous Research mephisto websim Rob Haisfield sean lee Joscha Bach across jailbroken LLMs, base model simulated worlds (in CLIs & web apps), theories of machine consciousness - lots of ideas to build on!

Big swing in AI x Bio by ARCH Foresite Capital Lux Capital on top of Baker Lab RFdiffusion protein design algos. For those wondering why Marc Tessier-Lavigne as CEO, check out this excellent 2023 fireside w/Robert Nelsen youtu.be/VD1sPcLp0CY (tldr it has been a long courtship)

I wonder what the best acquisition funnels are for consumer AI products? Many start with X (awareness), however app stores and token leaderboards like GPT Store (gated by $20/mo sub) & OpenRouter (some likelihood to pay) may drive a subset of high converting / monetizing traffic

this was much funnier before he talked about the stock

The Counting House, by Gary Sernovitz, is the best business fiction book I've read this year, perhaps alongside Situational Awareness, by Leopold Aschenbrenner. If you read Matt Levine's Money Stuff and/or work anywhere near the investment industry you will probably enjoy it too.

Sharing an incredible review paper-like Substack post by Shawn on AI led techbio companies, across data management, analytics and drug discovery platform companies. Some key insights that ring true from my observations. 1) AI-driven biotech companies can be worth more than
