• I think that AI is helping us in ways that will only become clear in several years, as it is helping clarify knowledge, science and philosophy. In other words, I believe that it may usher in a new intellectual golden age, but not necessarily directly (by what “it” finds). Rather, it may force a reshaping of the current social hierarchies. Many people who have reigned over academia for decades are finding themselves on the defensive. Meanwhile, other models are slowly being valorized. If I am correct, we are in for quite a fight. It will get vicious. What I find interesting with OpenAI breakin…

• What should be obvious is that inference, running a large language model, is the part that has to be cheap. Most of our hardware was not designed for that. LLM inference is limited by bandwidth. You do a great many matrix-vector multiplications against a huge weight matrix, and you barely reuse those weights. It is closer to streaming a video than to running a simulation or drawing a scene in a game. Graphics processors from Nvidia and others were built for something else. They pileed compute first, then bolted on high-bandwidth memory. It is expensive. An obvious answer is to invert the desi…
