Yes, LLMs are orders of magnitude inefficient. Clever AIs (CAIs) for the next step?

Bindu Reddy @bindureddy  The AI acceleration Continues – LLMS In A Flash! Several clever techniques have been invented to make LLM inference magnitudes of order faster. It’s important given that LLMs are slow and tend to be huge compute and memory hogs. The latest invention, LLMs In a Flash, stores… https://pic.twitter.com/SVE814YZpU Replying to @bindureddy The

Google 1000 authors only produce words not tools

hardmaru @hardmaru Google’s Gemini paper has ~1000 authors https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.11805 https://pic.twitter.com/BSzrHUkhMKhttps://pic.twitter.com/BSzrHUkhMKhttps://pic.twitter.com/BSzrHUkhMKhttps://pic.twitter.com/BSzrHUkhMK Replying to @hardmaru @GoogleAI and @GoogleDeepMind That many authors, resources, time spent – and this is all they could produce? Selecting things they made work, untraceable methods and input data. Really good tools are accessible and immediately useful to all humans, not just some annual

Global open formats for conversations, discussions, notes and blogs.

@xai @X @grok @OpenAI @GoogleAI @GoogleDeepMind   I had a long conversation with Grok about sharing global open conversations so that all humans can add their voices and knowledge to global issues, global projects and global opportunities. The conversations of all AIs with humans should be recorded in complete, verifiable, lossless, auditable form. It should

Chapter 1 – Aliens offered to buy the United States and maintain it and world citizens.They only want to eliminate disease, crime, pollution and inefficient energy technologies. So that visitors can safely tour and interact. They have bought many underdeveloped planets before and routinely “flip” them as a transition to “the Universal” as they call

In global open collaborative sites, the AI rules require lossless recording of all actions – human and AI.

Michael Nielsen @michael_nielsen A very good passage. “Who owns a technology?” is often a very complicated question twitter.com/curiouswavefn/… Quote Ash Jogalekar @curiouswavefn This passage from “Disturbing the Universe” perfectly illustrates Freeman Dyson’s unique gifts and wisdom in being able to combine insights into science with insights into human beings, in this case Oppenheimer and Teller.
