$4.2 billion directed to one entity is larger than almost any single-investor check in startup history
The idea that the USA can outperform China on bureaucracy, which is now popular not just in the Democratic Party, but in a growing faction of the Republican Party, is utter folly.
Alex Karp is a living testament to why you shouldn't believe in these types of stereotypes.
Alex Karp says the US-China AI race is proving both countries' stereotypes wrong
"If people look at China, it turns out, I'm obviously on our side completely. But I have a 13-14 year history of becoming a very high level practitioner of one of the great treasures of Chinese culture, Chen Tai Chi, with a master who worked with the Grandmaster."
"The caricature of America and China is Americans are swashbuckling creative cowboys, execution is not maybe the best, but they invent things no one else could invent."
"The caricature of China would be it's the highest IQ scale population in the world, but it's not creative."
"The interesting thing about the AI revolution is these caricatures are not actually playing out. The Chinese reaction to us is much more creative."
"It's not like we're the only creative people here. If you see what they've done with their models, that's creative. That's actually one of the things I've been most impressed by."
A TLDR for this: trying to make a formalized version of the originary hypothesis
This mid 20 something loves Bouvard retweets, and has been working on an idea people interested in Adam’s work or GA might find useful: github.com/baartmans2/origin…
(this is mostly vibe coded, and with my startup taking most of my time, collaboration would be great).

Some interesting things so far, maybe. Adam's "firstness" falls out on its own. If two people stop reaching at the exact same moment, nobody responded to anybody, so there’s no sign. Someone has to go first. Without it you can say “A is with B,” but not “A came before B.”

sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources
“a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre
but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time
you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment
somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”
I often revisit my profile and scroll through my past tweets, seeing which ones I like, don't like, are hastily made, etc. I think most of my posting on here now is half for my audience of 24, half writing little thoughts and opinions for my future self to review.
I tend to oppose efforts that aim to grant arbitrarily interpretable terms the same authority as those subject to rigorous operationalization.

A deep understanding of language and discourse can provide the clearest explanation of the value of computation.
I wonder what can be done to expand negligence standards to hold individuals accountable for recklessly disseminating falsehoods online. Perhaps establishing a statutory duty of factual diligence for users of digital platforms, for instance.
A greater issue is that the speed of the resulting legal proceedings is orders of magnitude slower than the rate at which falsehoods circulate and compound damages.
As always, we will have to wait until a prosecution, but the evidence of fraud seems to be significant. Much of the information that led to this investigation was available well over 5 years ago, which raises even more questions. Not a good look for demagogues.
BREAKING: Fox News Digital reports that multiple sources familiar with the federal investigation identified Rep. Ilhan Omar’s name as Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, rather than Ilhan Omar.
A former federal immigration judge said the name discrepancy could raise questions about government forms Omar has filed, including student loan, housing, passport and voter registration documents.
