Watch @typesfast pitch Flexport to Paul Graham and Sam Altman for the first time at Startup School 2013:

Congrats @rahulvohra !!!.

RT @mark_cummins: OK, say it goes further and we get AI that's broadly superhuman across all domains. How do you invest for this? Does the….

RT @mark_cummins: This is one of the most important results of the year, as exciting as the OpenAI o1 results. We now have two very differe….

Sounds in language often correlate with meaning. For example, all of these words relate to the nose: sniff, snout, snot, snore, sneeze. LLM embeddings place semantically-similar words together. It would be fun to study the similarity of syntax and semantics using LLMs 🙂.

RT @mark_cummins: Seems about right: 3 or maybe 4 orders of magnitude from increasing investment, 1 from Nvidia margin compression, 1 from….

Maybe a counterargument could be that novel math requires more creativity, but LLMs can brute force that.

Which will be harder for AI: programming, or mathematics? My guess is programming. Both have to be exactly correct, but programs are longer with more non-local context.

The most educational tweet of the year.

RT @paulg: More people care about you than you realize.

RT @mark_cummins: Why is AI amazing at art, but can't drive a car? Can we predict which new AI applications might arrive soon, and which ar….

Manually encoding knowledge into AI systems is never the long-term solution. At Kite we connected our Python static analyzer to ML models using Graph Neural Nets. It may be a good short-term solution but won't be the long-term approach.

Phew. Great work Sam, Greg, Emmett, and others! We actually ended up better than we started, and given the rocky start that's a big testament to this team.

RT @dadiomov: Great pod. So much startup wisdom (or really, common sense)

Inspired by ChatGPT, I want "Custom instructions" for Google. I would tell it to never show Quora results ((who can find the content after clicking those links??)) and boost Reddit results.

that feeling when your therapist calls it a "negative feedback loop" and your mind rewrites it to "positive feedback loop in the negative direction" — mild amusement alongside mild frustration at the distraction.

RT @sarahtavel: I have been wondering the same thing about TikTok. .

New ChatGPT use case: "Which AWS service can I use to do _____".

Paul cooking dinner for us every week during YC was such a great, non-obvious design choice on many levels. During YC we worked as hard as we could, which was stressful and tiring. The care and warmth of each dinner was understated, empathetic, and nourishing.
