Oh good point - I forgot to set that up!

I should caveat this by saying I've only read summaries of the book, not the book itself. My understanding of it is that they view setting ambitious objectives as potentially limiting progress, and instead promote shorter-term novelty-

Very keen to support open source work, both financially and through our own code.

Currently we're working on low-resource fine-tuning research (i.e. train larger models on smaller cheaper GPUs), and looking into applications in the education and legal spaces. We're also starting to look at intersections between

I don't think we'll want to patent anything, since that's something which keeps people out -- and we want to let people in! The only reason I could think of that we'd need a patent portfolio would be for defensive purpos

We don't invest -- we build! The idea is that we want to create lots of AI-powered applications, based on a common platform.

Jeremy from Answer.AI here -- Answer.AI is, to some extent, the subject of this article. Perhaps worth noting here that we didn't pay the author, Eric Gilliam; it's his independent analysis based on years of study of 19th & 20

None of these 3 articles "predict a sure collapse". One of them reports on what twitter users were saying, one reports on technical problems occurring at that time, and one is an opinion piece titled "Elon Musk Has No Idea Wh

Despite the paper's claims to the contrary, they most likely have the causality absolutely backward. The two accounts they analyse, AK (@_akhaliq) and Aran Komatsuzaki (@arankomatsuzaki), have much better taste than anyone or anythin

I'm not an author on this paper, but I posted it here because it's in my area of research and I think it's a great example of recent excellent results coming from "self improvement" of LLMs. Most of the authors are

It didn't solve it -- instead it simply created groups in the exact order you provided.

It's a great podcast! I'm the 1st of the guests you listed, in fact. :D If folks are interested in learning APL and array programming, you might like the ~20 hour video series we created: https://forums.fast.ai/t&#

I live in the area where the show is set (the Morton Bay region north of Brisbane) and it’s delightful how many details we recognise in the show. Having lived in the US for 10 years and returning couple of years ago (with my first 30 years

Yes I think so, although I haven't decided quite how to best do that yet.

Yes I'm reasonably familiar with Vannevar Bush's amazing body of work. We're likely to hire passionate and interesting outsiders on the whole, but really anyone who is extremely curious, pragmatic, and happy to get their hand

Yes I think it's a big opportunity too, although I'm mainly looking at leveraging the work Modular will be doing to harness diverse hardware, rather than handle that ourselves.

We're trying to figure that out -- we'll probably try a few somewhat non-traditional approaches to find the kinds of people that would be a good fit for our team.

No I'm not, but I'm aware of their work and it looks great - I should certainly chat to them!

I plan to write a longer article about this in fact! In short, I think we already have AGI, but I'm not sure it's going to get dramatically better quickly (i.e I don't think it's a clear path to ASI). I think AGI is ac

Yeah it really needs to be much easier. Hopefully we can help with that.

That's a very fair question! The key is to find aligned investors. In this case, we found investors who believe in the fundamental opportunity, have the patience for us to figure out how to capture it, and believe that we're the r

I love Chris and his work is amazing. I certainly hope we can work closely with Modular, although nothing specific in place yet. I was at ModCon last week and I think that Mojo might just be the future...

I'm Australian so I didn't know about this -- I guess I'll switch to "sliver" since it seems it's more broadly understood. Thanks for letting me know!

Yeah we actually have to make money! We can't just spend.

Hi folks -- Jeremy from Answer.AI (and fast.ai!) here. Happy to answer any questions you have about this new thing that Eric and I are building. One thing I'm particularly keen to explore is working closely with academic groups to help
