The vibes of this blog post
1/ In 2021, we shared next-gen language + conversation capabilities powered by our Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). Coming soon: Bard, a new experimental conversational #GoogleAI service powered by LaMDA. blog.google/technology/ai/…- We're max 2-3 years out from DALL-E 2 for 3D printing. Literally conjuring objects from incantations.
- it's important to communicate with your coworkers with kindness and clarity
- Made a little CLI that just pipes my programming questions to GPT-3, so I now can ask it stuff when I'm in the command line! LLMs are better than Stack Overflow now — I just ask it, and it gives me a comprehensive answer in one shot, right there in my terminal, in a couple secs.
- Somewhere nestled deep within the digits of Pi, there exists the full weights of GPT-4, GPT-5, and all future neural networks.
- Thiel Fellowship but for paying engineers to drop out of FANG companies
- NEW PROJECT — I made a "personal search engine" that lets me search all my blogs, tweets, journals, notes, contacts, & more at once 🚀 It's called Monocle, and features a full text search system written in Ink 👇 GitHub ⌨️ github.com/thesephist/mon… Demo 🔍 monocle.surge.sh
- all these fancy nyc cafes with their no laptop policies are getting out of control gonna open a cafe where you can't come in unless you have more than 50 unread emails and a sidebar overflowing w slack notifications and can't leave unless you clear em all out
- Life update🎉 I'm very excited to be joining @NotionHQ to continue prototyping and researching ways AI can help us be more creative, thoughtful, and productive! Looking forward to learning from the team and bringing some of my ideas from the past year to a tool loved by many 👇
- AI people how are you parsing your PDFs, I need help - TypeScript / Next.js - Both images + text, bonus points for bounding boxes or Markdown - Ideally low latency (<1s for low 100s of pages)
- I built a personal chatbot from my personal corpus[1] a couple weeks ago on fully open-source LMs. On a whim I gave it iMessage. Didn't expect the iMessage bit to matter, but it made a huge difference in how it feels to interact. Much more natural. [1] thesephist.com/posts/monocle/
