This was fun! Thanks for having me :)
Looking for a CPA. Is there one you recommend?
Meta is going to have 350,000 H100s by the end of the year. Given lead times, they probably had to start ordering them in 2022. How did Zuck know he'd need all these GPUs?
"More of what we call training for these big models is actually going to be inference generating synthetic data to then go feed into the model We trained Llama 3 on around 15 trillion tokens. Our prediction was that it was going to asymptote more, but even by the end, it was…
Last 28 days 🤯 While the Zuck & Trenton/Sholto episodes are doing extremely well on YouTube, what I'm proudest of is that most of these views are actually from Sarah Paine content! She is one of the greatest living historians, but her work wasn't really publicly well known…
Pretty remarkable that the only press Zuck shared from the Llama 3 launch was @dwarkesh_sp and @rpnickson Meta did give embargoed comments to mainstream publishers, but only the independent interviewers got posted to his story. GOING DIRECT! @lulumeservey
Every time I fail a spaced repetition review for a card which I remember thinking was almost too trivial to write down, I become more convinced that everything I read without making cards for is a waste of time.
Will Zuck open source the $10 billion model?
Mark Zuckerberg doesn't want AI to end up like mobile apps, where gatekeepers like Apple and Google tell you what you're allowed to build
Wildest part of Zuck's interview with @dwarkesh_sp when asked how much energy necessary to train frontier models Zuck: we need nuclear power plants
"1 GW - that's the size of a meaningful nuclear power plant, only going towards training a model. Over the last few years, there was this issue of GPU production. Now I think that's getting less. But I actually think before we hit that, you're gonna run into energy constraints.…

The meteoric rise of Dwarkesh is a reminder that no matter how crowded the space, there’s always room for people who do great work. There’s a trillion podcasts out there but his is going gangbusters because it’s so darn good.

this is a really good podcast. like a really really good podcast. Zuck is talking about gigawatts and you're still talking about flops. You're trying to raise money, zuck is trying to convince governments to take the money he already has.

TikTok’s 3 strategic comms mistakes with this video: 1) LITERALLY DOING THIS 👀 The TikTok team was so concerned with getting the words exactly right that they had the CEO read from a script. But trust is won or lost through body language — not words — and the script messed up…
Our CEO Shou Chew's response to the TikTok ban:
The unpaidness is the easiest, most high-signal thing to change. 1. You're already spending 20k+ finding the right person. What's another $100/hr/past-1st-round-candidate? 2. Look at the signal you're sending them! You value their time! No brainer but almost no one does it.
The basic problem here is that resumes/traditional job interviews have ~0 positive signal relative to a practical test (coding, modeling, research, &c.) for "how well will you do the actual job". But the equilibrium where 1. tests are now expected, and 2. they're unpaid, is bad.

@natfriedman Hmmmm. Zuck says he originally bought H100s for Reels, ie. Tok-Tok so I imagine you are ready to go.
Meta is going to have 350,000 H100s by the end of the year. Given lead times, they probably had to start ordering them in 2022. How did Zuck know he'd need all these GPUs?
