Makes sense. Renaissance Technologies used machine learning to get an annual return of around 60% for multiple years even when they had large piles of money already. They already showed that machine learning can predict the future.

Walter Isaacson said something similar about Einstein and Steve Jobs. Sometimes you need to reject commonly held assumptions to make progress. Einstein rejected the idea of ether. According to Isaacson this was probably because Einstein was

Oh yeah that’s the other thing. The software still has multiple bugs. But in general I appreciate the updates. I just wish the update process to be (much) easier. I have sometimes been sitting an hour at the dealer at night just to download

One big problem, I think, is how big tech gained monopolies and now could live easily for years. This excites me about AI. It’s a disruptive technology that is likely to disrupt some of the big tech just like Google disrupted Altavista. Big

Instead of reading about how “terrible” the US system is, I encourage readers to listen to what historians say about autocratic regimes and to see whether these things still apply today. One difference for example is that in the West, it is

And which country has some checks and balances and which has none? If an autocratic leaders wants you to disappear, you disappear. And journalists inside the nation will never talk about you again. Apart from maybe that you have retired, ar

That is typically the problem with regulations. It’s usually easier for large companies to comply. It’s called regulatory caption.

What is a bit weird about AI currently is that you basically always want to run the best model, but the price of the hardware is a bit ridiculous. In the 1990s, it was possible to run Linux on scrappy hardware. You could also always run oth

I just finished a blog post with some thoughts on AI’s future [1] and the surprising conclusion was that most big tech companies probably have much bigger problems than whether researchers leave or not. As Taleb and DeepSeek’s CEO point out

I think the blunder is firmly with the people who caused the blowback. I don’t think it’s a good idea to all be up in arms whenever someone says something you disagree with.
