- I just learned that @elonmusk was one of the original funders of DeepMind. Then, on a private plane flight where Elon Musk was watching a DeepMind video of an AI playing the Atari game Breakout, Larry Page was also onboard saw it over his shoulder and asked “What the heck is
- Musk *wants* to get in a fight with the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and they are going to walk right into this one. It won’t look good for them. There’s a lot of other more important things they should be spending their time on (housing, affordability, safety, revivingOur HQ in San Francisco tonight
00:00 - “Today, in a paper published in Nature, we share the discovery of 2.2 million new crystals – equivalent to nearly 800 years’ worth of knowledge. We introduce Graph Networks for Materials Exploration (GNoME), our new deep learning tool that dramatically increases the speed and

- The Apple Vision Pro UI is skeumorphism of the iPhone and iPad user interfaces, to act as a training wheel bridge for people entering spatial computing, in the same way the original iPhone UI was skeuomorphic of physical objects. This generation is comfortable with 2D iPhone UIs,
- If you are a software engineer and aren’t paying a measly 20 dollars a month for ChatGPT Plus for assured access to GPT4 you obviously don’t value your time and productivity enough. 20 dollars is like 2.5 coffees.
- AI demos are easy, AI products are hard. Anyone can slap together an AI demo that seems to work on the surface & impresses a crowd, but true AI products have to have quality, generality, be fast, hit the right features, not have domain drift, etc. I'm not impressed by AI demos.
