@vgel.me is fundraising for her model tinkering, she's done some really interesting interpretability work and I think funding this has very high returns in terms of LLM understanding per dollar. manifund.org/projects/fun...

the tensor product is extremely trivial to define. since it is only characterized up to isomorphism, and since any two vector spaces of the same dimension are isomorphic, the tensor product of V and W is any vector space of dimension dim(V)×dim(W)
Research proposal: give me 3m € and 10y to understand wtf tensor products are so hard to define and yet behave so neatly. Like why isn't there a simpler construction, and how come this unwieldy construction produce this... this... jewel?

What would it look like if accessibility infrastructure became the foundation of malleable computing? Here's a demo by @orionreed.com that adversarially adds find and replace functionality to a hermetically sealed messaging app.
