    That's exactly how exponentials work. Looking forward to saluting the galactic being at age 30.

    Claude 3 Opus just reinvented this quantum algorithm from scratch in just 2 prompts. The paper is not on the internet yet. 🔥🤯

    Fun little paper to appear tonight on the arXiv. How to do Hamiltonian Monte Carlo on digital Quantum Computers. As physics-based probabilistic ML accelerators are on the horizon, important to test how QC's could try to compete. Best way to predict future is to invent it.🙂

    We have gone from 0 to 1 for thermodynamic computing. Now it is time to scale the paradigm. Excited for what the future holds.

    Motor intelligence is ~10x harder than neocortical intelligence (language, art, etc); takes 10x more neurons and took 100-1000x longer to evolve. Everyone thinking that blue collar work was going to get automated before white collar work is in for a rude awakening.

    Be like Richard Feynman. Don't ruin your beautiful neural machine. Say no to psychedelics.

    Psychedelics create a high-temperature annealing phase of your brain. On average it seems like re-rolling your hyperparameters yields net negative perf delta. Insanely stupid to do as a founder, where your internal reward system steers a company IMO. Stick to Diet Coke, anon.

    IMO @elonmusk most likely to use @Twitter for data + RLHF & @Tesla Dojo supercomputer for training/inference of LLMs at BasedAI. It's all coming together.

    This week's AI breakthroughs remind us that humans are, in the end, pretty much probabilistic parrots too.
