    > It’s going to move us from the big iron era of AI to small portable brains. Nature has already proved it’s possible with 20 watts and very little heat generation. Agree. I know e…

    I think the test above is about tool calling... That's how I read it. The issue here is known as "out of distribution detection" in the old-timey classification world. I am not sur…

    Fundamentally, we needed to decide, as a society, that should someone (anyone) have access to neural networks that can launch successful cyberattacks by discovering new zero-days a…

    exactly. a ban or even any restriction that is "fixed" in time is a bad idea. The frontier is evolving so fast: any regulatory regime that started with a map of capabilities that 2…

    I think condensing intelligence into smaller models is the way to go. Also, “smaller” can mean many different things. The cost is not in storing the weights on disk. It is in the p…

    We are headed towards the “trough of disillusion” of this particular cycle.

    Hey! Love the idea. I think a lot of skepticism here would be addressed if you discussed your plans to monetize. People just want to know how you will (eventually) make money in a …

    That makes me sad. I will miss his voice. I loved how he interrupted his guests and kept them honest and on point. I loved the casual offer for tea/coffee at the end. I would love …

    That's an interesting way to look at it. Aren't layoffs a version of that? Are we seeing any evidence that folks who have been let go from Intel have resulted in spin-offs and star…

    Oh, I don't know. Maybe build chips that do things 10x more efficiently and sell them a lower cost to compete? It _is_ a hype bubble but it is also an S-curve. Intel has missed the…
