this sort of tweet is fine. i have the same concerns Quoting @BlakeSNeff I think this is one of the most important facts to be aware of in the debate over Indian immigration: Even relative to other Asian immigrants, Indian Americans are on average very liberal, not just in terms of voting Democrat but also holding particularly left-wing views on specific issues. Indian… Related
so what should i do about it? not tweet about genetics? 🤷🏾♂️ Quoting @ProfBootyPhD @razibkhan "As usual when i get surfaced in some parts of X" - you are too generous to your followers (understandably). Almost every time you post about anthropology and genetics, the same people are there to slurp up every factoid that might support white superiority. Related

op deleted his tweet (thanks I guess) but I get a ton of questions about why I sometimes limit replies, and if you’d like to know the answer you can look below. Quoting @deanwball @sponkostonko I limit my replies when it occurs to me to do so to make it slightly harder for people to threaten me and my family with violence, which happens frequently in my life now. It still happens, but at least with replies limited my wife is less likely to see it. Related

My tweet was less about how to do the task, and more about what happens when I tried to use a well-established tool (Google search). Also - isn't the very high failure rate interesting? 'Sometimes makes errors' is one thing. 'Always makes errors' is something else. Quoting @joshgans @TimHarford You need to use a real AI agent to do that task. Google Related

I’m going to delete this tweet and post screenshots here for posterity. I stand by the argument but we shouldn’t fight. This is too important for squealy arguing. I am going to choose to see David’s OP as an olive branch and operate under that assumption. TYFYATTM! Related

Clicking the Grok button is rarely satisfying. If the tweet is “I like grooglefabs” Grok will delightfully tell you “FooBar comments on his love of grooglefabs. A common sentiment among the fabblegrooglers”. I don't want to type “wtf is a grooglefab”. You are meant to be AGI. AGI Related

people reviewing jasmines tweet before the culture fit interview Quoting @jasminewsun I hear roughly 3 reasons people keep working at AI labs despite believing in ~10% extinction risk: 1) Techno-determinism: Someone will build ASI no matter what, and I can do it better & more safely than China/OpenAI/etc 2) Consequentialism: ASI might kill us, but it also might produce utopia/immort… Related

this old tweet is getting some likes (why? mysterious), so I re-read it, and still like it. it also applies really well to what I am working on now: I need lots of VMs for agents, but I don't need lots of CPU/RAM. hence @exedev Quoting @davidcrawshaw @danluu one of the big early ideas behind tailscale was a single computer is powerful enough to solve almost every problem, and that this is not widely understood. we need fewer distributed systems and more spreadsheet implementations.

Farzapedia, personal wikipedia of Farza, good example following my Wiki LLM tweet. I really like this approach to personalization in a number of ways, compared to "status quo" of an AI that allegedly gets better the more you use it or something: 1. Explicit. The memory artifact is explicit and navigable (the wiki), you can see exactly what the AI does and does not know and you can inspect and manage this artifact, even if you don't do the direct text writing (the LLM does). The knowledge of you is not implicit and unknown, it's explicit and viewable. 2. Yours. Your data is yours, on your loca… Quoting @FarzaTV This is Farzapedia. I had an LLM take 2,500 entries from my diary, Apple Notes, and some iMessage convos to create a personal Wikipedia for me. It made 400 detailed articles for my friends, my startups, research areas, and even my favorite animes and their impact on me complete with backlinks. But,… LLMs Related
Wow, this tweet went very viral! I wanted share a possibly slightly improved version of the tweet in an "idea file". The idea of the idea file is that in this era of LLM agents, there is less of a point/need of sharing the specific code/app, you just share the idea, then the other person's agent customizes & builds it for your specific needs. So here's the idea in a gist format: https://t.co/NlAfEJjtJV You can give this to your agent and it can build you your own LLM wiki and guide you on how to use it etc. It's intentionally kept a little bit abstract/vague because there are so many directio… Quoting @karpathy LLM Knowledge Bases Something I'm finding very useful recently: using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases for various topics of research interest. In this way, a large fraction of my recent token throughput is going less into manipulating code, and more into manipulating knowledge (stored as mar… LLMs Related

It just predicts what you are likely to re-Tweet and like, and linger on. That’s what all these algorithms do. It’s what Tik-Tok does, it’s what all these recommendation engines do. And it turns out that the thing that you are most likely to interact with is outrage. And that’s a quirk of the human condition.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the

especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
