Months ago I shared Rolv with you and he shared that he had a major performance breakthrough for running AIs. His breakthrough is proving itself. Will share the final results when it's up, but his math is working out to speed things up.

TED Talk Released: Competition Stifling AI Breakthroughs Discussion

People can finally hear my full thoughts on this now that my TED Talk has been released today!!! ted.com/talks/llion_jones_ho… Sakib (@zsakib_) Funny that both Ilya Sutskever (@ilyasut), and Llion Jones (@YesThisIsLion) the co-inventor of the Transformer architecture, are sick of Transformers Both @SSI and @SakanaAILabs give their researchers freedom to pursue wild ideas beyond token stacking Even Jim Simons’ of RenTech, the only hedge fund ever to consistently return >>40%+ annually (sometimes even 152%) let their researchers spend HALF their time on working on whatever they wanted!! Reminds me of the foundations of Physics in the 90s and even now: everyone works on unfalsifiable “theories of everything” like string theory (bro you can’t even test it what are you doing?) Diversity of thought (i.e. research freedom) is how we get true innovation — https://nitter.net/zsakib_/status/1993883878361067988#m
