A interesting and thoughtful statement from leading mathematicians who warn "The goals of the AI companies and the goals of the mathematical community are severely misaligned." mathandai.org/. The argument seems very relevant to most intellectual endeavors today!

I built pitchfly.fun, a project that uses a fruit fly brain to generate WIRED story ideas. The results are delightfully insane. wired.com/story/i-trained-a-…

I gave the fly brain $100 to trade bitcoin. Dopamine neurons are stimulated when the fly makes profit. Neuron activity controls buy/sell decisions and makes trades on coinbase. Will the fly get rich?

How long before robot-lamp makers design their systems to fight other robot-lamps?

Last week @willknight came by and got a preview of one-shot prompting and we had some fun improvisational moments with the robot. Thanks Will for helping capture the moment.

I'm usually wary about talk of "the ChatGPT moment for robots" because language is less complex than the physical world. After visiting @GeneralistAI, though, where I saw their robots perform impressive manipulation with just a prompt, I think you can see it happening in a limited way. (Thanks to @peteflorence and co for having me!) wired.com/story/generalist-a…
