Didn't even have time to write up thoughts on my early access to the new GPT voice, but it is really good & much closer to the science fiction experience of talking to AI (in part because it is much s

How? Instead of closed-source frontier labs running the same training runs in secret and siloes, open science and open-source AI allows them to mutualize spending and compute making them an order of m

Nice example of the increasing benefits of open science and transparent methodologies when writing papers about AI. A big problem with research studies on AI models is that given how long the peer rev

François Chollet argues that art and science elevate humanity through the creative and discovery processes themselves, rather than through their final outputs or products. He emphasizes that the trans

I’m reading an old collection of interconnected science fiction stories by Jerry Pournelle, written in the early 70s. His best books were later co-authored with Larry Niven, but it is still solid work

Two of the most important biomedical breakthroughs came from science of the Gila lizard venom (GLP-1s) and yogurt (CRISPR genome editing). 'The system that turned that lizard into a medicine is now be

Jeremy Howard argues that the concentration of AI power, capabilities, and economic wealth among few entities represents the most significant risk in AI development, and advocates for open science and

just to state the obvious: think there's a collison course between those who believe research and science should be open and those who believe we are in an accelerating singularity curve. I have many

Woah. A profound shift in American science is coming. Every federal research grant could soon require sign-off from a political appointee. Scientific progress depends on funding decisions grounded in

The HF science team just made async RL weight sync ~100x cheaper on bandwidth, and you don't need a shared cluster anymore. The problem: every RL step, the trainer typically has to sync fresh weights

I truly miss the age of science and transparency in AI. Especially given how much money and political power and governance and scientific understanding is at stake. We don’t know for example • How man

In science, AI still does a poor job at finding interesting questions to solve in fields that don't have lists of known issues This has always been the hardest thing to teach PhDs: otherwise you find

To be clear, I meant 'idea' in the context of science and engineering, in particular AI, as in 'theory' or 'invention', like a new theory of cognition or an idea for a new ML approach. I thought that

This is an incredibly cool experiment It is also fascinating that the model knows information up to 1931, but, at least in some science topics, seems very stuck in the early 1900s. For example, it def

Here’s my view on GPT-5.5, which I have been testing for a couple of weeks. It conducted not-bad social science research on its own, developed a novel RPG & more. There is still jaggedness but GPT-5.5
