Excellent point, if you in any way move you'll be only accelerating towards the singularity, except if it's a ring singularity, you might be able to maneuver and miss it. Good luck.
if you're in line for the singularity STAY IN LINE

Every few months I revisit my pet project of doing optimization on exotic spaces (particularly for discrete things). It's really really hard to find something that beats recasting the problem as gradient descent. Ironically, the approach that has come closer is LLM guided optimization

Great essay putting in words what I've been feeling for the past few years. Tech, even its most innovative corners, has completely lost its vibes...even founders are now simply part of a capital complex that resembles internal bank incubators

VC-Backed Startups are Low Status
Before Tech became the dominant industry, jobs like investment banking were generally viewed as the best expected-value career trade to make out of school in terms of money, training, and accrued soci...

quoth the norvid, claim
A pretty bold comment in Nature written by linguists, computer scientists and philosophers declaring that AGI has been achieved.
"By reasonable standards, including Turing’s own, we have artificial systems that are generally intelligent. The long-standing problem of creating AGI has been solved."

I don't think I ever posted this note here, but the ideas keep circling in my head. We are diving headfirst into a frictionless world and I think we need to find a way to redefine what the whole concept of human experience means because of this

Sort of tangential but it is possible to be wrong so forcefully and consistently that you eventually bend some aspects of reality to you... sort of has been the main lesson in the last few years
Reality will still be there whether or not we create "communities" that hide from it. The longer you hide from it, the harder it will kick you in the face.
I am part of a global community of those who seek the truth. Anyone can join. You have nothing to lose but being wrong

Hmm I have a different view of the internet and what's good about it. Community mostly.
I'm not very optimistic about getting people (or myself) to face reality.
So I think the internet would be better if there were more bubbles

The Alphagenome paper is good work, but it's interesting to see how small the improvement is in many of the tasks compared to relatively simple baselines...sort of tells you that we are missing measurements/modalities, not models per se

programming is conversing with computation, and there's something very deep, almost divine, in that fact. LLMs don't obviate that most fundamental property
