A weird property of the frontier: finding the edge forces a realization that there’s very few people there, the others who’ve found it are tightly clustered and therefore quite happy to see you, and you all can’t help but ask “where is everybody?” in escalating confusion

I expect that the most important breakthroughs towards AGI will require moving to the models to real-time interaction and continual learning, and entice them to discover a coherent language of thought. Consciousness is probably going to emerge with second order attention.

Happiness, bliss and even satisfaction are instrumental. Don't aim for positive emotions, aim for integrity.

💚🌱 The future of science is a world where you can raise funding, run experiments and publish papers no matter how old you are, what you look like and what credentials you have.
Since 1980, NIH increased funding of scientists 66 and older >10x and decreased funding of scientists 35 and younger >10x.
If we don't do something about it, in a few decades we'll have no science to speak of.
Here's what @newscienceorg's doing about it

Last week hacked on a mushroom robo-farm to help solve for our mental health needs with @HardTechMiami and @JacobWerbin, who’s been thinking deeply about this problem.
Hardtech is for ambitious and particularly optimist builders.
Can't wait to see what comes out of this group!

The perceptual now is partially in the past and partially in the future of the physical now. Neurons are slow; the current moment is a prediction of states hundreds of ms in the future. Since predictions are often wrong, the memory of what happens now is reedited after the fact.
Came back for MHW round 2 to show what solving for our future food and mental heath needs might look like: dSilo Stack. A modular robotic mushroom cultivation solution for small to industrial sized operations.
The mushroom industry is ~$45b w/10% CAGR. The current production paradigm needs to be turned on it’s head. When you cut transport and add robotics, you suddenly have the most ethical & efficient (high protein) food production process on earth. All essential aminos acids to boot
Big creds to @GavinYua @pfelgueres @PatrickJDav @yeknology @VinaiRachakonda @yardie @camdotbio for all their ingenuity, personality, and perseverance to help make this functional and presentable in less than 4 days.❤️ you all. Looking forward to tackling other big problems 🔜

You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.
Great presentation on CNS drug discovery by @suran2011. Unsupervised learning + expert knowledge. Timeless combo

Just had an awesome meetup with @ani_pai, @beondeck, @JacobWerbin @ZiarKhosrawi. Let’s goo🚀🚀
@saif305 @FrancisSuarez @zebulgar - planning some big things for Miami deep-tech/crypto👀
Accessibility is the name of the game here. We’re in the process of rearchitecting the electrical and data processing systems to keep material and operating costs as low as possible.
