I've been working on a new kind of LLM-based programming language, combining strengths of both LLM and PL: Making controllable LLMs that can handle constraints & algorithmic tasks, in a PL that has world knowledge and takes vague natural language instructions.

I’m rounding off the PL features, to make it usable, but already looking for input on application ideas. Certainly it could be great for email processing, maybe data analysis and also for game logic. If you have specific thoughts in these or other areas I’d be delighted to hear!

For years I’ve been interviewing data annotation workers who are the lifeblood of the AI industry. For years I’ve heard the same story: the platforms they work for wield total power, leaving them precarious & vulnerable to exploitation. A horrible example of this just happened 1/

Ration flying, ban private jets - make meat more expensive and veg free - ban cruise ships, create a de growth and circular economy - end economic growth and prioritize saving nature - stopping deforestation essential and banning bottom trawling and deep sea mining

For AI tasks like reasoning and planning, $100M in GPUs can save you an afternoon in the library.

The prince of darkness Larry Summers on the Open AI board. What a great move for the future of humanity and AI bla bla bla. 🤮

OpenAI board has an image problem and apparently no team. Surprisingly both can be solved in one blow: Open source all models and tech to instantly become heroes and find an ample supply of collaborators. If they're scared about safety, only release the finished stuff.

I can't think of any case where Western sanctions have made a situation better. Could be forgetting one.

If Russia were to "win" militarily in Ukraine, they'll likely gravitate to replicate the Kadyrov model that was successful in Chechnya: Find a sociopath of the "opposing" ethnicity and ideology to run a brutal gangster state while nominally submitting to Russian hegemony.

Such a deal of course wouldn't materialize immediately, but just as in Venture Capital, the sleazy warlord / strongman business is about building up relationships: Investing lines, not points.. Maybe look out for any Nazis getting very lucky in escaping the kettle? 🤷‍♂️

For the record, a strictly neutral and actually autonomous Ukraine is a wildly more preferable outcome, as I've seen @yanisvaroufakis write about. Not sure if it's more likely though.

If you go on r/wsb there's lots of talk of unity and "holding". I haven't seen much explanation of what it will mean to take profits,i.e. sell, even if they successfully squeeze. Wouldn't they need illegal levels of coordination to pace the selling exactly to match short buying?

So far none of the shorts wants to be the first to take the fall and go bankrupt by eating that astronomical price. How long can they hold out?

All of this of course assumes no shenanigans, which is as likely as not
