Our architecture relies on large arrays of classical lasers to drive photon sources—too many for bulky, off-the-shelf solutions to scale affordably.​
​
We’re reducing cost by integrating classical components on-chip, using the same photonics platform we built for quantum computing.

What if we've been building AI completely wrong? While tech giants burn billions training on internet data, @thousandbrains.org just created an AI that learns like a child by exploring and touching objects. It’s the real path to intelligence: gregrobison.medium.com/hands-on-int...

Once upon a time I did some user experience testing for the second version of Sun's website for Java. The swag they gave me for the effort is still in use today! I give it high marks for usability...

🚀 New Video from the Archives! 🎥

How does the brain process context? What role do minicolumns & grid cells play in spatial representation? Jeff dives into the neuroscience behind it all!

Small waves from this now, but I believe you'll see this grow and hit as a tsunami 5 years from now.

Clearly need more coffee.

Read "We Still Need Software Developers in the World of AI" as "We Still Need Software Developers in the World of Weird Al".

I guess it really IS all about the Pentiums?

🚀 Exciting update!
The Future Work section of our docs just got a major refresh! Explore key project ideas (like Detect Local & Global Flow)—big enough for a paper or a master’s thesis.
💡 Open an RFC to share your ideas!

"Small changes accumulated until the entire system became too complex to maintain, understand, or compute -- and yet the process continued on for centuries..."

Read an article on similarities between software architecture and ancient astronomy I have republished:

Given the perceived differences in parenting styles - strict, hover, permissive, free-range, etc. - I wonder how much of that behavior will carry over into use of LLMs. Perhaps the majority of folks do not treat them as children, and certainly not THEIR children, and it's not an issue. Hm...

I've received a lot more follows than I expected for not having published any content here on BlueSky until now.

If you've followed me in the past week I'd love to hear what triggered that decision!

Beyond LLMs: The Thousand Brains Project offers a biologically-inspired path to AI that mimics how humans actually learn. Think cortical columns and sensorimotor learning instead of massive datasets. Thoughts on this fascinating approach here: www.linkedin.com/posts/jjlesk...
