    Sam Altmam talked at MIT a few days ago and our president’s first question for him was “What is your P(doom)?” Imagine this happening two years ago

    I want to get back into college math without it feeling too far removed from the real world. Especially interested in AI-relevant subjects. Any recs?

    What is the ideal time breakdown for a college undergrad? Time spent on classes, research, fun, exercise, etc? Is this even the right question to be asking?

    I’m gonna be making a lot of money on these AI IMO markets. Math competitions are too narrow to last much longer, and the incentive to work on these systems is too strong

    At some point someone told me that intel makes all their chips the exact same way. They're only divided into categories based on how many deformations they have in practice

    MIT President Sally Kornbluth opening Sam Altman's talk by asking for his P(Doom) -- full clip "Whether you say its 2 or 10 or 20 or 90, the point is it's not 0" -- @sama

    Replying to @aryty5 and @mattruuu
    pretty much dodged the question -- smnth along the lines of "I think thats an ill-formed question, because whether its 2 or 10 or 90, we should take it seriously. But we can't let doomerism get in the way of progress"

    This sounds like a trivial observation and it isn’t: No organization which makes its people pay for coffee wants to win.

    Every so often I remember u can find the hidden_dim H of any model by feeding it N>H queries and looking at the singular values of the corresponding (N x H) matrix. And also find the umembed matrix up to a rotation by looking at U. And we just figured this out a few months ago.
