Finally launched x.ai! The mathematics of deep learning is profound, beautiful, and unreasonably effective. Developing the "theory of everything" for large neural networks will be central to taking AI to the next level. Conversely, this AI will enable everyone

NYC has a considerably lower crime rate than most large American cities. It's also a city of 8+ million where lots of crazy shit happens on a daily basis. I don't blame anyone for being concerned but it's sort of a test for whether you think in terms of narratives or base rates.

Grinding on @Grok all night with the @xAI team. Good progress. Will be called Grok 4. Release just after July 4th. Needs one more big run for a specialized coding model.

Since folks are asking: The books I mentioned on @xai spaces are "Linear Algebra Done Right" by Axler and "Naive Set Theory" by Halmos. Other math books that I really enjoyed over the years: "Introduction to Algorithms" by Thomas H. Cormen & Charles E. Leiserson & Ronald L.

to all the college kids out there: the classes don't matter the people do so do things that maximize the number of interesting smart people you meet and be in the trenches with you'll thank me later
