AI, or abundant intelligence, will be a third great equalizer in life (in addition to education and the internet):

those who understand this can position themselves for survival and success in the next era, the AI economy

Peak happiness in tech is when you are building a cool product with 3-4 very talented people you enjoy working with.

Who on the webs knows a lot about sound isolation? I like both my building and my home office but I want national security bunker-quality sound isolation. Am willing to do crazy things to achieve it

You only bother pushing people if you believe in them.

It is an incredibly safe assumption that models get much cheaper and smarter from here, yet very few founders are acting like it

We’re excited to launch Meta’s Llama 3 in our model library, in both 8B and 70B 🎉

The newly introduced Llama 3 is a significant improvement over Llama 2, with increased tokens, and reduced false refusal rates. These models deliver unparalleled performance, showcasing

Congrats to @alicebentinck Matt Clifford on their first demo day here: welcome to SF! early stage investing has always been a talent game

Mixtral 8x22B Instruct is out. It significantly outperforms existing open models, and only uses 39B active parameters (making it significantly faster than 70B models during inference). 1/n

getting my first investor updates from startups that are explicitly attempting to permanently cap headcount at a number, with “AI for the rest”

better not bigger teams

It’s possible we’re all wrong — but as a longtime skeptic convinced by recent research breakthroughs, I’m finally incredibly excited for intelligent, more capable robots to get rapidly deployed into home, business and industrial settings over the next five years 🌟

Finally got to share some videos after a few months. Robots are fully autonomous filmed in one continuous shot. Enjoy!

on “vacation” a few days this past week and I drafted a kids book of mental models (our eldest daughter is 6). which ones do you want to see covered?

better cross-encoders are a big deal. out of 300,000 loc, Voyage AI embeddings + reranker found 300 loc that allowed for basically the answer i'd give as the author
