I recently moved to Meta to work on AI for XR & input systems. Getting computers as close as possible to the senses has been my driving mission since I started my Engineering career, this is just another step. I'll still be active in the AI and Graphics communities. ✌️

#1 problem of creating a market: you can make the tools and if you’re lucky you can incept some of the supply side or some of the demand side, but for structural reasons: seldom both

Who could we hire to help us do that? One of the questions I’ve been asked most often over the last five years finally has an answer. Introducing DIFFUSE: All of the world's top Al talent. All in one place.

So how do u make a market? You can generate suppliers (train them, finance them, market them, but don’t employ them) while selling the solution to the nascent demand. Failing that, you compete with the supply. Failing that, you compete with the demand. Failing that, not a ZBDM.

The fact that, for all I can tell, this influenced only non-technical people and technical people at the sunset of their technical understanding, is a sufficient tell about how society is currently run

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

“Stochastic” is a perfect midwit trap. It’s impervious to anyone without math exposure, but intuitive enough to keep you satisfied from thinking Gary Marcus is an intellectual

Opening access for developers to build Muse connectors. You bring the API -- Muse brings the agent, the browser, and the context of what the person actually wants. People reach your service just by asking for it, and their agent takes it from there. New connectors are live today. Come build with us. muse.ai/platform

This website still hasn't managed to split my feed into distinct "What's new in Machine Learning today" and "Which of these people I know have gone fully off their nut today" sections

Pacing the frontier was invented in Europe 15 years before the Americans. Who says we can’t innovate?
