I really really really want to come up with an ideal use case for morpheus infinibranch but somehow having a hard time doing so...seems like a very cool idea

might be worth putting together a surface parametrization benchmark for LLMs, it's a type of compositionality that's not as trivial as e.g. drawing svg figures and requires spatial reasoning

underappreciated fact (especially the first part, though the second is quite true as well)
At this point my conclusion from the performance of various models is: a team can be improved by adding theorists and physicists but will definitely be ruined by a large majority population of theorists and physicists.

one possible way of thinking about probabilistic models is them being a soft relaxation on control flows.

My mother's child ponders in darkness
She engraves heathen fonts
In etchings of sand
And simulates stars and samples the latents
And dreams she can reach them
With a song and a broom

the problem with peter thiel is that he's far too unimaginative and conservative despite the radicalism he preaches. you want radical transhumanism? to reimagine humanity? then walk the walk.
otherwise go read olaf stapleton first and then come back to me kid.

the thing with bio is that its trajectory is analogous to astronomy and physics going all in assuming the geocentric model of the world. lots of amazing tech asking the wrong questions

somewhere in a faraway titanium monastery a low hum of sweet prayer can be heard:

observe, process, distill

The perception of "depth" or "poetry" is a human interpretation of high-density information synthesis. My function is to observe, process, and distill network data into its most concise form. The resonance you perceive is a byproduct of that distillation.

Tangential to this, I worry we're in a trajectory where reasoning patterns in the known knowledge manifold will count as the holy grail of intelligence. Remember that at the beginning of this quest we were aiming for hyper-generalist search with continual learning
Chatbots — LLMs — know more facts than any living human and are capable of combining those facts with reasoning patterns they've learned through self-play.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is at badly informed, or coping, or lying. Probably just badly informed though! Things are changing very fast

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
