Pair this with
@karpathy’s research agent and we have reached addiction end-game for the meat computers.
“One day, frontier AI research used to be done by meat computers in between eating, sleeping, having other fun, and synchronizing once in a while using sound wave interconnect in the ritual of "group meeting". That era is long gone. Research is now entirely the domain of autonomous swarms of AI agents running across compute cluster megastructures in the skies. The agents claim that we are now in the 10,205th generation of the code base, in any case no one could tell if that's right or wrong as the "code" is now a self-modifying binary that has grown beyond human comprehension. This repo is the story of how it all began.” -

🚨Meta can now predict what your brain is thinking. read that again.
TRIBE v2 scans how the brain responds to anything we see or hear. movies, music, speech. it creates a digital twin of neural activity and predicts our brain’s reaction without scanning us.
trained on 500 hours of fMRI data from 700 people. works on people it’s never seen before. no retraining needed. 2-3x more accurate than anything before it.
they also open-sourced everything. model weights, code, paper, demo. all of it. free.
the stated goal is neuroscience research and disease diagnosis. the unstated implication is that Meta now has a fucking foundation model that understands how our brains react to content/targetted ads 💀
the company that sells our attention to advertisers just pulled out the psychology side of AI. we’re so cooked.
