  1. What interests me most: 1. Are you still working on MARAGI? Those were the most interesting videos of yours. 2. Have you been in contact with anyone at Tesla / Bot team? Guessing this is where you could have biggest impact with your ideas.

  2. Hi David, Great post! The official announcement that fusion ignition has been achieved at NIF came just as your video went online. So good nose ;-) The funny thing about laser-based fusion is that the US has a big gap in commercial laser capability: There is NIF, which is a unique government entity and then there is nothing up until relatively 'pedestrian' commercial lasers by companies like Coherent (COHR) and MKS Instruments (MKSI), formerly Newport Spectra-Physics. The market of ultra-high power commercial lasers has been left to the Europeans, specifically two French companies Amplitude Technologies and Thales (yes, the defense giant). However, NIF and other US national labs still hold significant experience in very large scale lasers and laser optical systems (like how to manufacture them). So the big question is now will this NIF achievement trigger any development in the US laser industry or will they leave the field to the Europeans? My guess is US companies won't pick up the tech because the commercial opportunity of laser-based fusion is still far away and relatively uncertain and the business would be quite 'lumpy', i.e. one could only expect to sell maybe a handful systems per year. I also share your excitement regarding the other technologies, although I think that photonic chips are way too physically large to compete with silicon chips. But the article and paper you mentioned looks really interesting in as they have taken a different approach to training neural networks, not just tried to replicate silicon based algorithms. Hopefully the first CRISPR-based gene editing treatment will be approved by FDA next year - so far it's looking good and on track - first patients that participated in the clinical trials have already been cured.

  3. Plot twist: OpenAI changes name to ClosedAI

  5. Great summary! Btw, can't read your last slide because YT puts some video recommendation boxes on top of the text. 5 or 10 seconds longer video would be helpful.

  6. Amazing

  8. You could feed the Esperato output to Google translate to check ;-)

  9.  @chrisBruner  Don't think speed will be a major issue: Tesla's full self driving software transforms the images of eight cameras to internal spatial representation at video rate. Pretty sure they will implement that for their planned bot as well.

  10. I use mostly Firefox, but also Chrome. But I also just downloaded Microsoft's WebBrowsingOptimizer.exe

  11. Would be interesting to apply that to writing the abstract of a scientific article. That is sometimes surprisingly difficult, as it forces you to leave out detail. I image a GPT tool that accepts a paper as input and offers a set of 3 - 5 abstracts to chose from.

  12. Big $$$ in search also goes to searches with purchase intent. I actually tried ChatGPT to write me a market overview of web content management software but the result was rather meh. Same, same - it couldn't boil down to the differences between the contenders.. Was mainly useful to get a top 5 list. So whoever gets a good recommender / review AI out will likely also get a bunch of $.

  13. David: humans are dangerous, but each individual is limited! Physical limits.... Putin: exists

  14.  @DaveShap  Would be interesting to know to what extent autocrats have used personal physical force to exert their influence or whether it was entirely achieved though communication.

  15. Hmm, what about this: even if you figure out alignment (let's assume David Shapiro's 3 COF is a solution) - there remains the problem, how do we ensure (enforce?) it's implementation in all A(G)I? Why would malevolent dictator X implement his military AGI with Shapiro-COFs instead of his own COFs? If alignment is actually prompt engineering then it would be fairly easy to manipulate. OTOH, how much "damage" could one (or a handful) of AGI agents do against 8 billion human level intelligences?

  16. They make you download an EXE that performs some settings changes to "optimize web browsing": These are designed to rip you out of the Google ecosystem: * Set MS Edge as default browser * Set Bing as default search engine * Set MSN as home page * Get a Bing icon in the Windows task bar * Adds Microsoft recommended web sites to your favorites * Adds a Desktop shortcut for the Edge browser

  18.  @DaveShap  It could be interesting as application if users could specify: Tell me the story of X in 10 minutes time. We probably all know the VP or boss who doesn't want to read the report but only asks for the "executive summary".

  19. Sometimes stories have unintended side-effects.

  20. Congratulations! Maybe best to keep making noise about the other 2 of your objective functions so that eventually Elon Musk becomes aware of them. Also, we don't need slide decks, so all good ;-)

  21. I could see a commercial use in marketing: churning out social media posts or blog posts. So basically creative writing in a business context.
