if straight lines on graphs are to be believed, this is the last year in which agi labs are merely highly resourced megacorporations. this is the year of cyberpunk. 2027 is probably too weird for even that.

The current timeline is as normal as you will ever see again. Take this moment to relax and breathe before it gets weird.

After an incredible 3 years leading model development at Midjourney, I've joined Cursor to work on coding agents. I'm incredibly proud of my time at Midjourney and the work we did, of the results of that singular focus on beauty and creativity.

Anthropic seems like the only big lab which is perpetually running out of inference compute. I don't hear the same complaints about rate limits and capacity crunches about anyone else. do they really have that much less? maybe sonnet is a much bigger model than 4o.

this is asinine. deepseek is accomplishing comparable feats with 100x less staff and 1000x less budget. Google needs to fire people whose job is to get in the way, or who treat getting in the way as their 20% time project.

did you know: the best way to spread chinese propaganda & undermine the american economy is to upload preprints to arxiv, release the results open source under a permissive license, then wait for the forbes readers to throw a tantrum.

DeepSeek is legitimately impressive, but the level of hysteria is an indictment of so many. The $5M number is bogus. It is pushed by a Chinese hedge fund to slow investment in American AI startups, service their own shorts against American titans like Nvidia, and hide sanction

Replying to @theojaffee
I like that walking around and comfortable seats are the norm on trains. Jumbo planes pressurized to sea level where you can't hear the engines and which take off from airports you can get to 15 minutes before departure having bought the tickets earlier that day would be great.

everyone is building really big short-term memories and calling it long-term memory. they're different things. almost nobody is building long-term memory. I barely ever see papers on it. it's the last remaining puzzle piece imo. should be the thing people are trying to build.

I often get the sense people are thinking about aging in a way that's deeply wrong. When I look at aging, I see a breakdown of a complex interconnected system, where the whole thing is collectively decaying in an accelerating fashion due to the decay of its parts. What I *don't*

When we figure out how to significantly slow down aging I am 99% sure that mass production will require technology no more advanced than we had in the 1930s. In other words, we have endured a century of unnecessary suffering because we have not asked sufficiently correct

bullish for xAI that they're the only big lab I don't see out here coping.

OpenAI accusing DeepSeek of "copying" from ChatGPT, and Dario's call for export control, are the pinnacle of coping.
