If only I had a token for every time I heard, "I've run out of tokens"

We’re using AI to work on root node problems – fundamental scientific challenges that unlock societal benefits. 🧪 From fusion and superconductors to entirely new materials, our CEO @DemisHassabis discusses what comes next after #AlphaFold – all on our podcast with @fryrsquared. ↓ Timecodes: 01:42 2025 progress 05:14 Jagged intelligence 07:32 Mathematical version of AlphaGo? 09:30 Science vs commercialization 12:42 Scaling 17:43 Genie and simulation 25:47 Evolution in simulation 28:26 AI bubble 31:56 Building ethical AI 34:31 AGI 44:44 Turing machines 49:06 How it feels to lead

Do you share aircraft time with others? Astroskiff is designed for aviation groups to easily manage their syndicate. Designed to streamline aircraft bookings, invoicing and maintenance management. Built by passionate Kiwi pilots, for aviators everywhere. 👇

Check it out here: astroskiff.com/ It's just launched so the creator is looking for feedback, and hopefully some customers. I don't fly but wanted to share this with aviation community.

We are living in a timeline where a non-US company is keeping the original mission of OpenAI alive - truly open, frontier research that empowers all. It makes no sense. The most entertaining outcome is the most likely. DeepSeek-R1 not only open-sources a barrage of models but also spills all the training secrets. They are perhaps the first OSS project that shows major, sustained growth of an RL flywheel. Impact can be done by "ASI achieved internally" or mythical names like "Project Strawberry". Impact can also be done by simply dumping the raw algorithms and matplotlib learning curves. I'm reading the paper: > Purely driven by RL, no SFT at all ("cold start"). Reminiscent of AlphaZero - master Go, Shogi, and Chess from scratch, without imitating human grandmaster moves first. This is the most significant takeaway from the paper. > Use groundtruth rewards computed by hardcoded rules. Avoid any learned reward models that RL can easily hack against. > Thinking time of the model steadily increases as training proceeds - this is not pre-programmed, but an emergent property! > Emergence of self-reflection and exploration behaviors. > GRPO instead of PPO: it removes the critic net from PPO and uses the average reward of multiple samples instead. Simple method to reduce memory use. Note that GRPO was also invented by DeepSeek in Feb 2024 ... what a cracked team.

Would we get better results from AI if they had the ability to act like a toddler and just constantly ask why?

Their financial guidance for next quarter makes no mention of the fact that they just flipped a switch that will boost AWS earnings by $3b-5b a year in the form of charging per IPv4 addresses. Can't wait for someone to be surprised by that and claim it's new sales.

Here is a joke that only makes sense to New Zealanders so I’ve posted it to my international audience.

The best 20 seconds of AI video I’ve seen today 😂

There’s this guy on TikTok who does nursery rhymes in the style of his favourite bands and the production standards are insane. This Mumford and Sons style rendition of You Are My Sunshine is genuinely as good as a song they would release

Stanford just released a MASSIVE 386-page report on the state of AI. Here are the 12 most interesting trends that you should know.

Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

If you want to follow some incredible female founders - here they are…. Come say hi if you see any of us around #sunrise22 So honoured to count @safestack among this group.

Getting out of the house when working fully remotely is good for my mental health

Why do I share DMs calling me a cunt or commenting on my age and physical appearance or wishing for my death or sexual assault? Because the men who write them work among us at hospitals, as firefighters, in the military. They don’t deserve anonymity if they’re toxic or dangerous.

1/ Say you want to copy Amazon's PR/FAQ. Well, after 8 months and 3 attempts, I’m comfortable enough with the process to say that it works. (Caveat: I've never worked in Amazon, so had to figure this out from books and from working with Colin Bryar). What I've learnt:
