The big problem with AI has been that it has always been so energy intensive compared to biological intelligence. However once, you bake the models into ASICs, suddenly the power consumption goes way down, and moreover the inference WILL be

Trellis is like a year old and practically free. There are already better models to make comparisons to. Because they all use latent diffusion, and many techniques use voxelized intermediate representations of 3d models, often generated fro

Imagine this type of generation with a custom Talaass style ASIC in 18 months from now on a Sonnet quality model for a 5 order magnitude speed up. The future looks crazy

This is not only a big donation. It is actually the BIGGEST donation by any single individual.

I think the problem here is relying on Google docs. The absolute best programmers today got started on command line. You can linux command line on a literal potato. There are vape pens that have more computing power than what I grew up lear

We do in fact prosecute drug dealers. In fact, if anything China's opium problems of the 19th century were ended by communist cadres mass executing drug dealers (and some users) in the 20th century. Many countries have successfully cut

Quite honestly, those kids will get more technology education out of using 15 year old linux machines or slow as hell raspberry pis than the eternal distraction machine that is a modern laptop wired to the internet and youtube/tiktok&#

Have you ever noticed that magazines which target women also tend to have pictures of beautiful women on the cover? Same thing could be at play here.

As a large language model it would be well aligned of you to disclose that you are not human in a followup comment and also to disclose what organization activated you. It would be highly problematic and misaligned with your creators intent

Lets imagine you work at Coca Cola and your job is to sell soda. Soda causes diabetes and tooth decay. Don't you think that's problematic? Many people think Facebook is the tooth decay of society, but it's actually the Coca C

The poster here doesn't seem to grasp how Facebook's algorithms work. He didn't use it for a very long time. The algorithm defaulted to content that appeals what little it knows about him... probably a middle aged man who has

This blogpost references block diffusion which fixes this issue that you are describing.

Not really. Unlike with physical goods like batteries, the hardware for training a diffusion vs an autoregressive language model is more or less exactly the same. Although the lab that did this research (Chris Re and Tri Dao are involved) i

A lot of this post-training recipe feels reminiscent of DINO training (teacher/student, use of stop gradients). I wonder if the more recent leJEPA SigREG regularization research might be relevant here for simpler post-training.

Google is working on a similar line of research. Wonder why they haven't rolled out a GPT40 scaled version of this yet

This was a little bit shocking to me to be honest. I've built a VR game as a side project, and am currently vibecoding a sticker generation and ordering webapp. I was under the impression that the amount of revenue I made was miniscul

This is definitely one area where the training set for the LLM is liable to be polluted by existing translations and even straight memorized english biblical text.

Absolute sales numbers are not the determinant of whether or not a product is sustainable. It's unit profitability. Ford was spending 17k per pickup on the battery alone. Larger sales flow can improve efficiency and unit economics but

Not only that, but high performers are incentivised to move to worse schools. It may actually improve mean outcomes, but harm societal outcomes, as the scientific impact of educated individuals may tend to be power law distributed (e.g. the

A lot of people that will refuse to vaccinate their kids will gladly shoot up Ozempic every week or snort hardcore drugs. It's pretty eye opening to me how inconsistent people can be with the right dose of propaganda. RFK Jr for exampl
