If history repeats itself, AI is probably at the same stage www was at in '96-'97. There were between 257k to 1.1M websites then. Huggingface crossed 1M models. Model creation may outpace website creation with easier finetuning and a few more efficient open foundation models.

explore and reason and develop true taste for a domain. Which can then allow us to create. So cheap, commodity AGI isn’t cheaper intelligence, it’s just a cheaper, faster consensus. Real intelligence will always have a premium.

Real world jobs are the adversarially selected evals. Public evals are as much the barometer of AGI as midterms in college are the barometer of real world success.

@cwhogg @nikillinit I'm sure you could get Better health to sponsor this youtube live stream. There will be lots of mental health support needed for all digital health founders and investors pre and post these IPOs.

Open Source is the lifeblood of accountability in computing. We need regulations that bolster open source and uplift the hundreds of thousands of volunteers working nights and weekends to keep software working well and properly.

A decision on SB-1047 is due soon. Governor @GavinNewsom has said he's concerned about its "chilling effect, particularly in the open source community". He's right, and I hope he will veto this. If you agree, please like/retweet this to show your support for VETOing SB-1047!

@auren You could also describe this as preservationalist. Not in the sense of maintaining status quo and stagnating, but preserving and leveraging the conditions that enable forward movement. Preserving momentum perhaps?

@auren @friedmandave I think yes. But I'm imagine you're 90, in a shower and you slip. Hopefully you have a railing to grab, but it's wet. I think grip matters more then since you can slip even with good balance. Also lots more hairline fractures in wrists & hands if you can't grip properly.

@auren @friedmandave A more practical reason is that you need good grip strength to catch yourself when falling. When people in their 80s and 90s fall, the impact can cause major damage. 30-50% higher likelihood of death < 1 year of hip fracture. Strength decreases with age, so need to train now.

This will depend on an influx of compute resources which is on its way. So maybe we reach parity with # of websites by 2031? The question is what changes in the world when we have as many models as websites? I think...everything.
