i think i’m far better at playing the piano after a long warm bath

Sauers Ask o1 pro about this and it seems at direct ods with the fundamentals of what makes an LLM powerful. HOWEVER ‘anchoring’ classical compute ‘truisms’ throughout an otherwise creative LLM core would be amazing for bio

So beautifully put 🫶🏼

Agreed. I bought Ginkgo Bioworks stock a couple years ago. Has performed terribly. I’m holding.

This wont age well 🤭

The new episode is out! 🎙️ In this episode, Steven ten Holder of Acorn Biolabs explores the possibilities beyond human experience, discussing how Neuralink and advancements in AI could change the way we think about our existence. buff.ly/41wRP4f #FutureOfHumanity

keiver if not punishing, definitely not celebrating ambition. artists largely inform the culture, and I believe there aren’t nearly enough ambition-supporting works being made like there used to.

I’d LOVE this, but for 2001: a Space Odyssey. I currently wait ~2 years between viewings for the same reason:

I'm genuinely starting to feel like: 1. I tell my AI that I'd like to achieve complex thing, X. 2. It understands better than I do how to achieve X. 3. I let it tell me what to do to achieve X. On the one hand, I'm happy that we can achieve X. On the other hand..

Science! Spreading a little science-romanticism here and there ain’t so bad. 🔭 Thanks @cygnetcommitt Neil Mitra and Raeny Tuesday.

As an adult aiming science toward real outcomes, I think boring/painful execution is necessary to reach new capabilities you can then play with. The trick is to remember to flip into explore-for-fun mode at each new precipice. You can't just play and be effective, tho.

The unspoken open question in theoretical biology right now should be whether biology as a whole will become 'fully modellable' by larger AI systems. Are the patterns of cells reducible to data AI can 'world-build' effectively with? bio-LLM scaling laws soon will tell.

Same effect between great and mediocre entrepreneurs/startup founders.

Chris is awesome and Waves is such a cool idea. As an amateur cinematographer, I know nothing beats being present in a magical moment. Capturing it with Waves is the next-best-thing.
