Yeah the CoT gives such a human thought process vibes but I wonder they “fined-tuned” it to sound like that. Also for Yann, I’d let @garymarcus.bsky.social fight with him lol

I’m very bad at remembering details in books that I read. One thing that I have found to be both enjoyable and also helpful with retaining is contemplative reading by using LLMs, specifically Gemini 2.0. It’s amazing how the 1 million token enable you to have a conversation with a book.

Nothing is more fun than have your kid get sick after 4 days of being at daycare after the break… oh wait there is; when his mom goes on a work trip and you’re left alone to take care of him

He presented the new GPT-5’s capabilities to a group of people, which the new model was mostly focused on video. His main point was that it is the first time that the model was able to generalize and achieve human-level consciousness, and intelligence.

The biggest discovery artificial intelligence might make in the next 5 to 10 years is how to solve quantum error correction and build functional quantum computers with millions of qubits. "AI Supremacy" occurs when quantum computing and its capabilities is harnessed by our most powerful AIs.

This is interesting coming from Jensen. Intentionally, Nvidia has definitely not invested in developing quantum “hardware” in-house. They have been trying to position themselves as one of the leaders without hardware, as proven by focusing on CUDA-Q. Jensen: "15-30 years away from being useful"

I read a summary of this paper and it makes a lot of sense; we need abstractions for quantum programs and move from a imperative approach to declarative but I need to read it in details to see how they can actually achieve that.
