LET’S GO.

Arguably the most intelligent photo ever taken: Solvay Conference on quantum mechanics at the Institute International de Physique Solvay, Brussels, Belgium, in 1927. 17 of the 29 attendees were or became Nobel Prize winners. ✍️

💥 What is the missing killer app / feature in LLMs? Elasticity. Remember the iconic rubber band effect from the iPhone? Most remember for the touch. However, the real game-changer was elasticity that rubber band effect brought to UX interactions. It brought a sense of playfulness and flexibility to something previously so mundane and rigid—something the industry had never seen before. At first, "UI/UX experts" were questioning it a quite a bit whereas the love for it from the users was obvious. 🎯 Not just UX, the idea of elasticity went on to redefine entire other verticals: 💻 Elasticity in compute? Kubernetes. 📦 Elasticity in data warehousing? Snowflake/databricks. 🗄️ Elasticity in databases? Aurora/Neon. 📂 Elasticity in storage? S3/minio. 💻 Elasticity when you type code? GitHub Copilot. 🏆 Elasticity in B2C ? Countless examples! LLMs fundamentally bring elasticity to human cognition—harnessing the full potential at web/mobile starts with UX and trickles down to all other infra pieces. 🌐 If you are a Product Designer or Frontend Developer with skill, will & hunger to shape this?

What is a really really hard problem to work on in #AI? My own answer is Spatial Intelligence - a technology that could empower and enable countless possible use cases in creation, design, learning, AR/VR, robotics, and beyond. It’s a real honor that my cofounders @jcjohnss @chlassner @BenMildenhall and I are joined by a formidable team of world class pixel talents to start World Labs to work on this super hard problem that took Mother Nature half a billion years to solve. 🤩

Brad and I spent two weeks consuming all the information we could on nuclear energy. The x-sphere was super helpful. Here are our best thoughts. Confident we still have much to learn. Let us know what we don’t know. Important topic.

Programming is changing so fast... I'm trying VS Code Cursor Sonnet 3.5 instead of GitHub Copilot again and I think it's now a net win. Just empirically, over the last few days most of my "programming" is now writing English (prompting and then reviewing and editing the generated diffs), and doing a bit of "half-coding" where you write the first chunk of the code you'd like, maybe comment it a bit so the LLM knows what the plan is, and then tab tab tab through completions. Sometimes you get a 100-line diff to your code that nails it, which could have taken 10 minutes before. I still don't think I got sufficiently used to all the features. It's a bit like learning to code all over again but I basically can't imagine going back to "unassisted" coding at this point, which was the only possibility just ~3 years ago.

Each device in the @exolabs_ mesh network downloads a shard of the AI model. Each shard “sticks” to a device, so you don’t need to re-download parts of the model. You can add as many devices as you like: Macs, NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, and this all happens automatically.

Nobody should be in any doubt that the Ukrainians are entirely justified in attacking Russian forces assembling inside Russia itself. The Ukrainians must protect the entirety of Ukrainian territory. They continue to be heroic in the defence of Ukraine - and the Russians have no one to blame except Putin.

I’m deeply concerned about California’s SB-1047, Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act. While well intended, this bill will not solve what it is meant to and will deeply harm #AI academia, little tech and the open-source community. fortune.com/2024/08/06/godmo…

It was an amazing experience! Stanford GSB , discussion panel on AI.

Just had the privilege of judging at the Unicorn Pitches in Palo Alto. Inspired by the innovative ideas and dedication of fellow entrepreneurs! Thanks to Alexander Soroka and #NetworkVC for this incredible opportunity! Congrats to the startups - winners of the event!

Actually, really liked the Apple Intelligence announcement. It must be a very exciting time at Apple as they layer AI on top of the entire OS. A few of the major themes. Step 1 Multimodal I/O. Enable text/audio/image/video capability, both read and write. These are the native human APIs, so to speak. Step 2 Agentic. Allow all parts of the OS and apps to inter-operate via "function calling"; kernel process LLM that can schedule and coordinate work across them given user queries. Step 3 Frictionless. Fully integrate these features in a highly frictionless, fast, "always on", and contextual way. No going around copy pasting information, prompt engineering, or etc. Adapt the UI accordingly. Step 4 Initiative. Don't perform a task given a prompt, anticipate the prompt, suggest, initiate. Step 5 Delegation hierarchy. Move as much intelligence as you can on device (Apple Silicon very helpful and well-suited), but allow optional dispatch of work to cloud. Step 6 Modularity. Allow the OS to access and support an entire and growing ecosystem of LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT announcement). Step 7 Privacy. <3 We're quickly heading into a world where you can open up your phone and just say stuff. It talks back and it knows you. And it just works. Super exciting and as a user, quite looking forward to it.
