i wish i could do more - i wish i had a thousand hands and a thousand eyes and a thousand years and army of angels and a thousand stars that lit the sky so bright that the night would never come and that our sleepless dreams would fill this world

my friends are all feeling extremely productive and also extremely drained with the latest coding models. this makes me feel like something is wrong, and also that there might be a big opportunity. does anyone have any strategies they use to make it feel better day-to-day?

It's really fun having Marcin at Midjourney and it's super cool to finally see him do a video at the office.

log scaling increases. spikey RSI sigmoids. compute shortage. algo leaps. compute collapse. humanoids scale to 10B. BCI scales to 10B. log scaling moves to space. bio accelerationism. self-replicating robot space economies. the dissolution of mercury. bishop rings. wormholes.

this might be my favorite video ive ever made. i was making web visualizers for every part of our stack and i added a zoom and said "whoa this looks like a Max Cooper music video" then i got license to a Max Cooper song, added some technical narrative subtitles and ahhh 🥺❤️❤️

we kept it a secret at leap motion that i filmed and edited all the videos myself - its been now ~10 years since i filmed and edited a video like this and i was honestly quite nervous that my skills weren't up to par for the task - but im very happy everyone seems to like it!

we should start rethinking our software architectures to allow for the largest number of simultaneously operating agents over our codebases

it's funny that people complaining about data centers using water could just accelerate data centers moving into space where there is ... no water????

Aristotle said "we should not think human things because we are human, nor mortal things because we are mortal" we should strive to live as though we are more - to "immortalize" and live according to the strongest, best, most supreme elements of ourselves

does everyone in AI still use SLURM? or have we moved to RAY? what's going on in cloud orchestration land nowadays?

Most researchers agree that autoregression is best when memory bandwidth is cheap and diffusion is best when FLOPS are cheap. They also admit the future of compute is all FLOPS because memory scaling is hard and scaling FLOPS is easy. So why not go all in on diffusion????

SpaceX put 10 megawatts of solar power in space across 3000 gen1 Starlink satellites, then they put 100 megawatts in space with 7000 gen2. soon, they're doing 1000 megawatts with gen3. SpaceX is basically 10xing space solar every few years!

how many gpus do you think a single researcher can handle at once for a single big training job without any help? (assume it's set up with slurm or something)

someone should open up a late night bar in San Francisco for AI employees ironically named "Permanent Underclass" we can have drink names like "Hopium" and "Copium" and "Brandy is All You Need"
