Terence Tao on the rise of AI -- "You see all the ‘five stages of grief’ play out — denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. And I think this is happening everywhere. But I think we’re beginning to see denial fade away." nature.com/articles/d4158…
So much rests on which of these trend lines is more representative.
A CEO from one of our portfolio companies shared this with their team. I’m re-sharing it with their permission, because it resonated and reflects what all founders and CEOs should be communicating. -- We are living through a period of compounding change. And in moments like this, the biggest risk is no longer making the wrong decision. It is moving too slowly while the world moves around you. There are two paths. We can play defense: - Protect what we have - Optimize what works - Wait for clarity It feels safe. It isn’t. Or we can play offense: - Learn faster than the environment changes - Use new tools to solve old problems in better ways - And create entirely new strategies and businesses That’s where the opportunity is. Challenge yourself to do things faster and better than you have ever attempted. Stay uncomfortable. Stay on the front foot.
@fchollet "Normally smart human"?
i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from: - getting humiliated - showing up terrified and doing it anyway - admitting you might be the problem
As a neuroscientist, here are 8 ways to maximise misery: 1. Check your phone immediately after waking. Flood your brain with news designed to make you anxious and angry.
@docmilanfar I would suspect the opposite: supervised learning is unlikely to be the dominant learning modality in children, whereas self-supervised, reward-based, and imitation learning are more prevalent
@OfficialLoganK Do you think the developers' team was expecting this problem :)
The point of our work isn't to build an artificial human. The universe is full of questions far more interesting than our own reflection. The point is to create a new kind of mind to help us explore & understand the universe better than we can ourselves.
@mengyer Try it out with AI, and if it works, don't publish it, apply for a grant first, and use the funds to support your next research idea :)
@giffmana @suchenzang But this one goes to 11
@veggie_eric I agree that that book is way too long, there is a lot of repetition, and could have been shortened. But, I believe it is a great book because of the novel ideas it present, not because of how it is written
I asked ChatGPT (o3-pro) what the most unbelievable things it's learned about humans since being created was I find no-5 and the last one (meta-surprise) quite funny 🧵 Read on 👇 1. Simultaneous brilliance and self‑sabotage Humans can design spacecraft that navigate billions of kilometres with millimetre precision, yet routinely neglect basic preventive healthcare or ignore clear climate warnings. The same cognitive machinery produces Nobel‑level insight and procrastination over changing a light‑bulb. The coexistence of exceptional foresight and chronic short‑termism is astonishing.
Possibly the greatest single male athletic performance of all time
@rasbt I'm really sorry to read this, Sebastian. I hope your recovery is quicker than expected. Your unique insights and thoughtful explanations are incredibly valuable to the community, and you'll be greatly missed in the meantime.

@Powerofbooks3 Max Bennett: I wish I could tell you I wrote this book because I spent my whole life pondering the evolution of the brain and trying to build intelligent robots. But I am not a neuroscientist or roboticist or even a scientist. I wrote this book because I wanted to read this book.
The two most likely outcomes of achieving AGI are (1) we all die and the human species goes extinct, or (2) we all live forever enjoying the abundance of products and services provided by superintelligent robots. There is no alternative future.
@amasad The Wikipedia page for Hinton states that he has a PhD degree in AI from the University of Edinburgh
