Is AGI More of a Democracy?
Recently Google’s DeepMind released this paper suggesting that AGI: artificial general intelligence (which OpenAI is supposedly shipping this year 😏) may NOT emerge from a single powerful monolithic model like ChatGPT, but rather from a patchwork of agents which looks more like a network of intelligent bots making collective decisions, this feels more right to…

Nvidia “Buys” the AI Chip Startup: Groq
In order to avoid those pesky laws and regulations from getting in the way of some good old-fashioned acquisition fun, Nvidia has struck a “licensing deal” with AI Chip startup Groq founded by former Google engineer Jonathan Ross (who was the co-creator of the TPU: Google’s AI chip).

He claims that we are entering into “a new age where artificial intelligence turns human intellect into an…

PSA for The Sun
This was an idea for a fake PSA about the sun that Tavis and I came up with over a decade ago. It was never going to get made into Sora 2 came out made it easily accomplishable in an afternoon. It is absurdist humor, it is not my intent to offend anyone. 😬

This satire site works because it barely has to exaggerate the coordination problem in AI safety. When every institute is trying to align the future, it is fair to ask who is aligning the aligners, and whether the whole thing is becoming its own little bureaucracy of existential dread.

Ollama Gets a Friendlier Front Door
Ollama has always been the easiest way to run a language model on your own machine, as long as you were comfortable living in the terminal. Now Ollama itself ships a proper app with a chat window. Pick a model, type your question, done. Nothing leaves your computer, it works offline, and if you pick…
