    we went from “ai entropy” to transformers in 2017 with a similar paper; now this will take us from “LLM entropy” to “GPT4 for all” in much less time. AI OSS is bright, and let’s also hope we figure out copyright soon. h/t @far__el — link below

    Some owners might get so desperate (give it 1-2 years) they might sell to ABNB (if they decide to start scooping sought-after properties), making it a premium BlackRock/Opendoor in no time.

    + illustrative chart (random account pin from @wintermoat who I just discovered) of just how big of a deal these two together could become. Next (*next next next) frontier would be reorging Quantum, TPU, with AI.

    feels like it’s time to immigrate (or start thinking of) back to the homeland 🇲🇦— whenever i’m back home i get existential about what distance is doing to the thing i care about the most: human relationships, and face to face interactions.

    If you look closely, you’re terraforming the reality he physically left behind, using the knowledge and wisdom he embedded in you. We’re all reflections of many influences, but our parents and closest environment shape us the most. Grateful for those whose presence lingers

    At this point, we should just assume that everybody took from everything—trained on LibGen, YouTube, Archive, X, and so on. The real task now is figuring out how to set things right for future generations. If we don’t, we’ll keep perpetuating this fundamentally imbalanced system.
