hardware is so unforgiving. software is child's play. literally a playground of unicorns and rainbows.

CG "wetware as a service" is the most dystopian product name since "human capital"

We've uploaded a fruit fly. We took the FlyWire connectome of the fruit fly brain, applied a simple neuron model (Philip Shiu Nature 2024) and used it to control a MuJoCo physics-simulated body, closing the loop from neural activation to action. A few things I want to

This makes a lot of sense to me

Ser especialista é uma aposta num futuro parecido com o presente. Ser generalista é uma aposta num mundo em mudança constante.

We made a blind taste test to see whether NYT readers prefer human writing or AI writing. 86,000 people have taken it so far, and the results are fascinating. Overall, 54% of quiz-takers prefer AI. A real moment! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

The claim that AI is inevitably homogenizing is not what research finds. By default, AI produces similar answers, but with better prompting, context, or human interaction, you can get a lot of idea diversity.

i now am entirely convinced anyone can become happy and relaxed with practice, it's sort of the fundamental base of our being once the knots are unwound, but that might be ten thousand hours of practice away unfortunately. we should find tech to speed it up

May take time but yeah that’s it

benchmarks yada yada the vibes always win and Claude is unbeatable

The greatest barrier to AI adoption may be the speed at which AI changes.

Youssef El Manssouri They built the machines, got briefly replaced by people writing glue code for 15 years, and now the machines are giving the field back to them. Poetic justice.

TL DR: Continous learning, experimenting and building like a child will give you the clarity, joy and peace just like a child & an added bonus of competence that will make you a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention it makes you develop highly valuable skills for life.

eu nunca tinha ouvido o professor Clóvis contar essa história, mas acredito que se passou exatamente desse jeito por causa de uma experiência que eu tive.

A bespoke software revolution? I don't buy it. It'll exist. It already exists. Small consultants and big consulting firms have made custom software for years. It almost always sucks. It’s bloated, confusing, and because the client pays, it’s built wrong in all the ways. Who’s

Yes. There's a difference between: 1. AI is human-level at everything we have great training data on and can easily verify success / failure on. [But can't learn in the real world, needs enormous data, can't generalize beyond training set, etc..] & 2. AI can figure out novel

Yesterday I did a thread on Argentina's regional personalities A few Brazilians showed up in the comments like "you should do Brazil, we're WAY more diverse" Fine. Challenge accepted Let's talk about how Brazil is basically a mini world in and of itself 🇧🇷🧵

I wish I could live a thousand lives so I could learn every single thing that is interesting to me, deeply, immerse myself within it. The world we live in is so beautiful, mundane things that you take for granted have great people, research and engineering behind it

I sent ChatGPT an audio file of a series of FART sound effects and asked what it thinks of "my music" and this is what it said
