In an era of rapidly evolving technology, we need to decouple *jobs* from *identity.* Instead of asking kids “what do you want to be when you grow up?”, ask them what problems they want to solve, what skills they hope to learn and what creative ways they hope to change the

Happy Halloween! @karpathy: "Stated plainly, today's frontier LLM research is not about building animals. It is about summoning ghosts." @itamblyn had fun with this at the @creativedlab Reading Group: https://t.co/S8g3zK1im7

Finally had a chance to listen through this pod with Sutton, which was interesting and amusing. As background, Sutton's "The Bitter Lesson" has become a bit of biblical text in frontier LLM circles. Researchers routinely talk about and ask whether this or that approach or idea

“The change of capital into data centers seems where it’s most extreme.” AI economist @professor_ajay
Apparently $META managed to raise $27.3B via private placement of a lease-backed data center deal today, taken down by just 2 or 3 investors in a club deal. Crazy that a deal of this size didn't go to public markets. The money chasing AI capex right now is *insane*.

An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells. With more preclinical and clinical tests,

“I would question the idea that LLMs have a world model. A world model would enable you to predict what would happen.. LLMs have the ability to predict what a person would say. They don’t have the ability to predict what will happen.” — @RichardSSutton
.@RichardSSutton, father of reinforcement learning, doesn’t think LLMs are bitter-lesson-pilled. My steel man of Richard’s position: we need some new architecture to enable continual (on-the-job) learning. And if we have continual learning, we don't need a special training

Biology is becoming a technology, and I believe it is one of the most important fields to watch.
