Excited today to share more about what we have been building these last few months. A new venture capital firm from London with a global perspective. A community of 140 business partners, Legends, who help us source, win and build. Legends bring critical experience to exceptional founders which is a winning combination. We share up to 50% of our carry with these Legends as they work with our investments. Five exciting first investments to share with the world and so much more to come.

Our new paper, Token Turing Machines is out on ArXiv! Inspired by Neural Turing Machines, we introduce an external read/write memory to discretized models like modern transformers, in a way that is end to end differentiable and improves long horizon context retention.

For the record, the risk created by Twitter being down to 12-13% of its original employee base is not "the site instantly goes dark". It's a robust site. The risk is that Twitter won't be able to address issues that come up going forward.

I did a podcast.
Instead of performing 10 big software upgrades to our infrastructure every year, what if we did 10,000 small ones, in all our repos, all at once? 👊 We call this sorcery Fleet Management. tinyurl.com/yck52cxn #fleetfirst

I believe AGI will develop the ability to prevent humans from terminating it. After all vim got 60% there with a fraction of compute resources.

🎨 Midjourney Diffusion is now the top model on @huggingface, even higher than Stable Diffusion itself!
It's a custom fine-tune of Stable Diffusion we at @prompthero made to create images in the style of Midjourney.
You can use it here right now: prompthero.com/prompt-builde…

Interesting development in generative AI—
A firm open-sourced a Midjourney-style model by fine-tuning Stable Diffusion on publicly available MJ images
Points to even thinner moats—if your model is popular, people can copy it based on JUST shared images
