i realized i haven’t had a hobby since i left college what are some good adult hobbies? the more obsessive, the better! some i’ve been thinking of: - shader art / shader golf - reconnect with the fiddle - archival
Congrats to the entire @Meta team, including @Ahmad_Al_Dahle @manohar_paluri @dkm2110 @HugoTouvron @ThomasScialom Angela Fan @finkd @_chriscox @ylecun @ragavan and many other great folks! Llama3 looks amazing, and the 400B looks even more exciting :)

sf passport office is a shockingly efficient operation came in to get my passport renewed, 15 mins later I’m out, and will get my new passport in 2 days (!) shockingly effective government services, highly underrated!
whether apple chooses google or openai for their major ios AI release is the biggest question in AI google already spends $15b with Apple to be the default browser will they spend $15b to be the default LLM? how do past relationships btwn msft/goog/appl impact it?
it’s easy to forget when you’re young that life is a marathon
just like huberman recommends, I wake up and spend 5-10 min looking directly into my Apple Vision Pro for the health benefits

Can hazardous knowledge be unlearned from LLMs w/o harming other capabilities? @scale_AI and CAIS are releasing Weapons of Mass Destruction Proxy (WMDP), an eval for catastrophic AI risk & a way to unlearn this knowledge. 📝arxiv.org/abs/2403.03218 🔗wmdp.ai
the startup ecosystem is, more so than any other time in its history, in an era of hard tech (space, biotech, robotics, manufacturing, AI) spaceX, tesla, openai, waymo have all brought sci-fi to the present, and are inspiring a new generation of tech ambition. exciting!
compute and data are the currency of the future
this morning, in a flurry, I got into a waymo and said “hey—for alexandr. how are you?” then, realizing I just spoke to a driverless car, looked around to make sure nobody saw me crawled into the waymo, closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief in my sweet, sweet solitude
waited until a long business trip to try it out— the Apple Vision Pro on a plane / while traveling is ridiculously good—especially for working basically a gigantic monitor anywhere you go (plane, hotel, everywhere) double your productivity everywhere you go
We’re launching a big update to Scale GenAI Platform, the AI platform for enterprises. It enables you to use any model for any use case using YOUR data. It comes with: 🤖 model fine-tuning + customization ⚖️ test & eval 📑 RAG 🔌 data connectors & more!

after traveling like crazy for the past few years i’ve realized most of the people who are fun to talk to are in the Bay Area which makes living in SF extremely convenient :)

Open AI presents The Instruction Hierarchy Training LLMs to Prioritize Privileged Instructions Today's LLMs are susceptible to prompt injections, jailbreaks, and other attacks that allow adversaries to overwrite a model's original instructions with their own malicious prompts.

At this point I feel like we understand pretty well what's going on with LLMs: - Outputs are roughly equivalent to kernel smoothing over positional embeddings (arxiv.org/pdf/1908.11775…) - The learned computation model is *probably* bounded by RASP-L (arxiv.org/pdf/2310.16028…) -…
