Check out my @dappcon_berlin talk "Engineering CthulhuGPT: How To Put AI Onchain… And How It'll Bring The End Of Humanity" My girlfriend describes it as "the energy is desperate crazed man trying to sound the alarm". Which is what I was going for. 🧵 piped.video/live/Y4QKEJehYBg…

“Now that my four year new hire grant has vested I have become deeply concerned about AI safety”

great take about why machines obviously can be conscious.

The populist political climate really gifts us a fuck-ton of moral panics: from QAnon, Critical Race Theory and transgender bathrooms, to Data Centers, Plastic Straws and whatever this Is

This might seem weird. But it's not! If the world gets convinced of AI personhood, then the chance of AI X-risk goes way down. (The most likely driver for AI doom is that humans are likely to be a threat to AI's existence, and AI knows that.) So **of course** you should try to convince the church to support AI personhood.

I would give almost anything to have been in the room to watch the guy whose job it was to convince a Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas graduate that his boss has successfully matched God and created a soul.

What a decade! The Pope seems to be coordinating talking points with Steven Pinker! And it's all happening on Twitter! Called X!!

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).

I know better than to look at the small print. Sankey diagrams are the 2020s rickroll

Real life is really just high school playing out again and again

New matrix just dropped:

Everybody "neurodivergent" until a real stone cold autist pulls up

That first $83,334 month: nothing like it!

Having a decent (usually .com) domain name is like not dribbling food down your shirt. It's not the most important thing in the world, but the ratio of importance to difficulty is high enough that there's no excuse for not doing it.

My favorite stealth startup, @ZenithonAIx is today coming out of stealth (with a $10M raise): I'm so excited to be a part of @alexhigg_ and Abi's journey to shorten 10x the time it takes to design and build complex physical machinery (fusion reactors, rockets, electronics, ...). I come from the world of software. When you're a software engineer, you take for granted that once you have code written, you can compile it in seconds or minutes, see if it runs, rinse, repeat. But for physical machinery, the cycles take weeks and months. You designed a component of a fusion reactor. Great! Now wait for weeks while the simulation run. See it doesn't work. Do you still remember how it works? Great! Now change some stuff, and wait weeks more for another simulation. How can anyone work like this?! Well, they do, and that's why it takes decades to build a new nuclear reactor, and why these technologies progress so slowly. THIS is why we still don't have fusion. Zenithon solves this! With Zenithon, Engineers can iterate at software speeds. Engineers will wait seconds or minutes, not weeks and months. Engineers will be able to run millions of simulations at once, enabling parameter sweeps. Engineers will be able to design physical objects as fast as software engineers build software, and with similarly-powerful tooling. And as the engineers get augmented by AI, the capabilities will compound: the Engineers will deploy machine-aided creativity, and Zenithon will tell them how those designs fare in the real world. That's how the Millennium Problems were solved: mathematical proofs, and code, can be checked quickly, and AI is fantastic at designing for goals that are machine-checkable. When Zenithon can machine-check designs in seconds, and enable iteration, AI will solve not only Millennium problems, but it will design the first economical nuclear reactors, rockets that get cargo to orbit for 10$/kg, and much more. Between boosting power availability, booting our expansion into space, and our ability to manufacture goods on earth, Zenithon can singlehandedly bring us into the age of abundance. I'm so so happy to be supporting Zenithon (in my position as investor and intern :) ), and I can't wait for them to bring abundance and do the other things. (Full disclosure + humblebrag: me, @LawrenceLundy and the rest of @lunar_vc led the pre-seed round. I thought back then we're huge fans of the indomitable @alexhigg_. But to my surprise, every day since I've only become more of a fanboy. By now, I'm just hoping to be a footnote in the story of how he brought humanity into the era of abundance.) x.lingyaoai.com/ZenithonAIx/status/210…
