Holy rabbit hole. SBF was in Patel's previous podcast in July 2022 and FTX unraveled in November 2022. Hmm. https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/sbf > I flew to the Bahamas to interview Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of FTX!

AFAIK post-training and distillation techniques advanced a lot in the past couple of years. SOTA big models get new frontier and within 6 months it trickles down to open models with 10x less parameters. And mind the source pre-training data

My point is that OP, you, and me are descendants of the people who can adjust and pass the filter. It shaped our lineage. We just became too comfy with abundance for a little while and now we need to reach out for our evolutionary advantage
