Last week in our lab, an AI agent autonomously optimized an AI model, which we then deployed in production. 1/5

Of course, you can ask ChatGPT for advice, and it will reply with all the banalities from the web. Ask @paulg instead, and you'll get a MUCH better answer. www.chatwithpg.com/

"If something is not clear, please ask" works well on humans, but even more on LLMs

Damien Henry @damien-henry.bsky.social · 26/11/2025
It's not surprising that LLMs excel at translation since the transformer was originally designed for it. The only surprise is how well English-to-code translation works!

There is a big misunderstanding around "Vibe Coding" Many see it as just another gadget, a quick way to build a proof-of-concept. I think this view misses the point entirely. 1/16

Fun experiment: I recorded myself while riding my scooter to work. Then, I used the transcript and asked Jasper.ai to write a post for me. It took less than an hour from start to publication. You can check the result here: damien-henry.com/about-ai-st...

Apply gradient descent to your life: Do something random. Does it feel better than expected? Do more of it if yes; stop doing it if no. Repeat. I've been doing this all my life, and I'm one of the happiest people on earth.

Ok, so the "vibe code it, instead of paying a subscription" is getting real! I was paying $12 per month for this tools that publish a website, using @NotionHQ as a CMS. I vibe coded the equivalent in 3 evenings. More details👇

While it's certain that all apps will eventually resemble this format (a chatbot paired with a traditional interaction surface), this particular example from OpenAI is very poor.

An easy prediction regarding Sora: @OpenAI will likely adopt a business model for Sora similar to what @Google did with @YouTube: redistributing a portion of the generated revenue to IP holders who request it.

Algorithms describe paths between two states in the universe. Some algorithms provide directions to known states. Some algorithms are shortcuts. Some can lead to destinations not yet discovered. Nothing can change the world more than discovering a new algorithm.

I made some small edit to this old post that describes how to create value using AI. (MCP was not as big in Jan, so I added a small note about it) damien-henry.com/writings/th...
damien-henry.com
The AI Equation: Creating More Value from AI Applications
Let's start with this key insight: despite all the hype surrounding AI, "Intelligence" alone accomplishes nothing. Intelligence requires a physical form—whether biological or digital—and energy to exist. It needs both input and something to act on its output. When evaluating AI products, we can break down their value creation into a simple equation. Intelligence is just one piece of this puzzle, as we'll explore.

You could be like Jesus. You could save the world with just your love. But would you want to die on a cross with nails through your hands? The Bible makes for a rather poor motivational book. Is it on purpose?

Multidimensional spaces are famously difficult to represent. Most of the work done on them involves equations, and you simply have to accept the results because, well, they are true. However, I wanted to build some intuition and see if an LLM could help.

All modern AI is based on high-dimensional spaces, so here is a collection of counter intuitive, fun facts, about them. For instance in hight-dimensional space, the volume of a unit sphere converge to zero!

When I read or listen to something, my brain automatically annotates it. Already known or expected from a source? => Boring, fast-forward. Bullshit? => Skip and distrust the source. The unclassified content that remains is the only thing I care about.
