Yeh I still don't think there's a fixed definition of what a world model is or in what modality it will emerge. I'm unconvinced it will emerge as a satisfying 3d game-like first-person walkthrough.

To this day I hate captchas. Back when it was genuinely helping to improve OCR for old books, I loved that in the same way I loved folding@home, but now I just see these widgets as a fundamentally exclusionary and ableist blocker. People wi

Ideas matter, yes. And distribution. If you want good coverage, read books from a more diverse crowd. If you want narrower ideas, do the opposite.

Of the 25 authors listed there are: 18 americans. 24 people in the global north. 24 men. EDIT: people reaalllllyy hate when this is pointed out. See child comment for some alt recommendations.

I dunno. A competent human can hold the a mental image and work through it. Not too hard with experience. What I generally mean tho is: I don't think we can state the supreme capabilities of AI (which people love to do with grate fervo

I help run an eval platform and thought it fun to try a bunch of models on this challenge [1]. There's some fun little ones in there. I've not idea what Llama 405B is doing. Qwen 30B A3B is the only one that cutely starts on the l

I agree, and this reminds me: I really wish there was better URL (and DNS) literacy amongst the mainstream 'digitally literate'. It would help reduce risk of phishing attacks, allow people to observe and control state meaningful t

Thanks for sharing! I feel the fear of another attack with epilepsy too. It is terrifying. The doom and the walking on thin ice constantly hoping you're not gonna over-step or do the wrong thing. And all that at the same time as trying

What concerns me most in the era of gen AI irt photography is journalism. We need truth, most especially when limited-means citizen journalism is the only reliable source of that truth. But I feel like the only way to accomplish fool-proof

I wish they'd release some data or evaluation methodology alongside such claims. It just seems like empty words otherwise. If they did 'extensive safety testing' and don't release material, I'm gonna say with 90% ce

I worked on Maps when the re-brand to Ovi was happening. I remember piles of nokia models for us to test it on. Supporting that diversity of devices was kind of a tall order and pretty unprecedented. It was a different era.

Beautiful images in some ways, but so raw and stomach-churning in others. I am not American but feel sick to this day at the thoughts of these events. On the day of 9/11, I was 11 and went to my IT class that afternoon in Sussex, UK. O

Interesting. Curious to reproduce across models, I made a comprehensive eval based on your post and ran it against 30 models, each tasked with recalling specific data from 500 rows in different tabular formats. Have a look at the results he

Thanks for your work on this! It's a very legit domain of problem for LLMs to optimize for. I've produced a comprehensive eval based on your post and run it against 30 models, each tasked with recalling specific data from 500 rows

Because it's fun, I'd like to pose the contrary position that AI will actually make us more different. Perhaps dangerously so. Many people don't understand the nature of LLMs nor how rabbit-hole-y a long context will necessar
