I think they talked about this being general purpose chip but I would think that Anthropic/OpenAI are at the scale now they could bake LLM weights into chips themselves. For example, GPT Sol baked into a custom chip run for $100M that runs 10x as fast and 10x as cheap should pay for itself as long as the chip is useful for long enough. While 2 years ago nothing was useful more than 1 year long, there are many older m…

Funny semi analysis has credibility here of all places. The founder is well-known in the hardware circle to be a black-market information trader. It works like this: 1. Founder befriends undergrad interns/graduate student interns, buys them gifts, invite them to dinner/yacht/house/vc parties etc, or pays them to write articles 2. Founder extracts insider information out of these interns 3. Founder sells this informat…

Just checked wikipedia page... they have like 100K neurons only.. wtf!!! How can nature cramp all senses, including spatial, motion, life maintenance and general thinking into just 100K neurons?

A lot of the low level stuff is outsourced to biochemistry: the physical properties of proteins, and the various self-regulating biochemical systems of an animal, can "encode" a lot of intelligence, easing up on the computational demands of the brain proper.

The guy that was part of FTX, fired from openai for alleged theft, got billions in a hedge fund somehow then lost billions. Why are all these people so scummy? It is like voting Trump three times in a row.

They're very intelligent people who do very clever things at a young age, which draws the attention of very rich people who can exploit them to get richer, and no one tells the young person they're being exploited. They're heaped with praise and 'wealth' (millions, but crumbs compared to what they're making for other people), and told they're geniuses who can do no wrong, mostly by the media that happens to be owned…
