State machines are super underrated: they make complex logic explicit, impossible states impossible, and agents are extremely good at making them now 💯
Also, Matt is a state machine expert

The Exposition, which has also been called "thinkhaven" or "learning man", is a concentrated microcosm of many, many things that I love. There will be historical short film, great music, and discussions on virtually every aspect of human behavior. Hope to see you there!
The Avalon Exposition is one month away!
Join us for a weekend celebrating the study of mankind - from anthropology to theater, from military history to genetics, and live music from Sikh Tabla to the Ancient Greek lyre
Bring your own art and thought!

Congrats on the launch!
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Here it is - the official, revised, peer-reviewed version of my Platonic Space paper. mdpi.com/2409-9287/11/5/161 Of all the many unpopular positions I’ve taken over the decades - bitter controversies around the origin of left-right asymmetry in embryogenesis, bioelectricity and genetics, diverse intelligence, etc., this one has by far generated the most pushback: serious (grateful for those!) and energetic attempts to move me to other views, pleas to just drop it and not talk about it (for several different reasons), nasty emails and accusations, impacts on reviews of papers that have nothing to do with this, etc. Kind of amazing to me how incendiary this is. What can I say... Our job is to call it as we see it, and right now for me, this is it. Apologies to collaborators and colleagues for any shrapnel! Time will tell if this pans out or not; I've placed my bets. And btw, if you think this stuff is weird and uncomfortable, just wait… There’s much more on the way. The knob turns slowly but as long as the data keep coming, I'm going to say what I think it all means and follow it to the next steps it enables. Buckle up!

As intelligence becomes abundant, here’s what will become profoundly valuable:
Your humanity, your ability to be fully embodied and feeling, to express yourself freely, to cultivate a spacious mind and creative clarity.
I’m genuinely convinced paper-like screens and experiments like these can make a difference.

experiment idea: someone should train a model with one false fact baked in, like brown cows produce chocolate milk, so it *genuinely* internalizes it as part of its world model, then probe whether its own reasoning can conclude that what it "knows" to be true just cannot be true
Most of us having been doing this for 6 months.
upgraded my stack, and i can now work on almost anything from anywhere hands free:
- talk to chief of staff (via remote codex voice or text)
- chief assigns tasks to managers of various projects
- manager assigns tasks to the builder/doer
- CoS & each project has it's own repo (cloud/github)
- repo has instructions + knowledge
- chief of staff/manager/builder roles are just skills
- claude/chatgpt/codex/claude code can do any role
- top level projects are work, research, and personal
- projects can manage other projects (just a new repo)

Introducing celld: a self-hosted, distributed Durable Objects and Workers implementation
- celld = V8 + S3 + SQLite + LTX+ Tokio
- programmed with exactly the Cloudflare Workers/DO JavaScript APIs and config
- order of magnitude cheaper at scale
- writes are durable before they're acknowledged, RPO=0
- only depends on an S3 compatible bucket - no other infrastructure
- ~4 MB memory per cell instance overhead
- hibernated cells cost ~nothing, just their S3 storage
- open source, Apache 2 licensed

Knowledge work is becoming programmable
Here's a quick interface to explore the implications of this: fullyparsed.com/jacobian
hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final
((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)
It's delightful, if tiresome, to bear witness to a continuous failure to re-invent the wheel. Cybernetics already exists. Actors & State Charts already exist. ["Loops!" "Agent Teams!" "Agent Graphs!"] = "what if the Earth is actually flat and Antarctica is a circular ice wall?"

We are looking for engineers, welders, and workers ready to follow us to the ends of the Earth and build classical megastructures that defy this age of apathy.

Introducing Aval - a new open source format for interactive video on the web. It has a built-in state machine, frame accurate transitions, and packed alpha transparency.
This is probably the craziest thing I’ve ever built with Codex.
I’d been dreaming about this technology for years. Before AI, building it would have taken months of work. I could never justify that investment for a noncommercial open source project. Then, a little over a year ago, Airbnb created Lava for almost exactly the same purpose. That gave me hope. But Lava was never released as open source.
So I decided to build my own, with AI.
Aval comes with a compiler and a web renderer. Together, they give you:
• a deterministic state graph - named states, authored triggers, and routing where the latest trigger wins.
• frame accurate routes with transitions that begin on authored content frames using portals, finishes, cuts, and reversals.
• small file size and low CPU overhead, perfect for small icons designed and animated in Blender.
• seekless loops so the decoder timeline keeps moving forward across loop seams instead of seeking.
• packed alpha transparency. transparent prerendered motion composited with WebGL2.
• a web native runtime: decoding with WebCodecs and rendering with WebGL2.
• progressive fallback: Host-owned fallback markup remains available for unsupported and reduced motion contexts.
Now it exists, it’s open source, and it’s available today as a technical preview.
I’ll be polishing it further over the next few days.
