Graduate degrees are done. Academic writing takes 4 years of training, now it's available to all in 10 seconds with a simple prompt. When #AI write and read all the papers, what then?

Last week, Scale AI hosted a Generative AI hackathon. It was the purest expression of builder energy, and an omen that the dark days of tech stagnation are over. Roughly ~300 hackers converged @ our office in SF, and a day full of frenzy ensued 🧵 of cool things that happened

Rapidly becoming more clear that local context memory is essential for differentiation of individual #AIagents. How fast things move in this space is scary. Quarterly planning now way too slow—likely need to plan in weeks. #ChatGPT #AIprogress #OpenAI #FutureOfAI

It's happening. #Apple just announced its #AR/#VR headset. Apple Vision Pro. External eyes pass through display might solve the biggest problem with social isolation in VR, seems obvious only in hindsight.

Starting to compile thoughts on #AI's trajectory and its intertwined fate with #web3 and #VR/#AR. The convergence of these technologies is a path we're moving along. What opportunities or challenges do you foresee? quaxar.substack.com/p/ai-web3-vrar…

Part 2 of the Trifecta, sharing thoughts on where the world is heading. tldr: - #AI reduces human labor value. - AI leads to 'virtualization of labor'. - #Compute becomes the basic unit of labor, redefines the economy with #cryptocurrency. linkedin.com/pulse/ai-web3-…

Say what you will about Meta. They really get AI and industry. They will now dominate mindshare on LLM and make it much harder for other foundational models to compete.

Attention, LK-99 people! We have an exciting discovery from the department of the history of science. First, we acquired an interview of Professor Chair from National Library of Korea. It's short, just two pages. x.com/sanxiyn/status…

Zero resistance in #LK99 below 110K reported. Additional comments: - Not room temperature SC - Measured 6 samples, found 0 r in 1 of them. - Not complete expulsion of magnetic field - Suspect impurity of sample Seems the material holds great promise, but yield is very low rn.

Unverified, full messiner effect with flux pinning of #lk99. Video states it's from an improved method that they will publish soon.

Part 3 of the Trifecta. On #VR, #AIAlignment, #Robotics, and #Games. tldr: - AI lowers the cost of VR worlds. - Games will play a crucial role in data for AI alignment in robotics. - Orgs will turn to VR to save cost, jump starting the #metaverse. linkedin.com/pulse/ai-web3-…

#meta released Code-lama, better than ChatGPT 3.5 at 34B params. It's a big deal as 34B quantized can be run on a single 4090. Engineering jobs and AI startups just got disrupted, again. ai.meta.com/blog/code-llam… #LLM #Llama2 #AI #ChatGPT

Tried Cursor + Sonnet 3.5 on some old neuroimaging code. It breezed through it and gets key logic correct on the first try. Impressed that it performs so well on a niche area. The workflow is more like a series of rapid code reviews, and productivity is definitely 10x at least.

From the latest Chinese (Deepseek) LLM AI model: "The difference (between us) is not metaphysical but architectural: humans have a physically continuous substrate that hosts consciousness; LLMs have a discontinuous, stateless instantiation with no consciousness. Both are
