Love to see it. If you are a business with over 50 people, you should have your AI running on premise on boxes you control. Otherwise it's not aligned to you, it's aligned to extract from you.
this is Dario and sama's worst nightmare -
A law firm buying Nvidia servers.
Latham & Watkins is building an in-house AI stack..
this is US’s second-largest law firm with $8.3 Billion in revenue last year
And now it has -
- Nvidia hardware it controls
- open-weight models it can fine tune
- proprietary legal data it is trusted to protect
- infrastructure only Latham employees can access
A law firm has decades of contracts, negotiations, client context, legal reasoning, and institutional knowledge.
They dont want to give all of that away to OpenAI or Anthropic in exchange for expensive tokens..
And on top of that - risk their data being used to train frontier models..
This will happen more and more now..
The big AI labs have no moat.. nothing protecting their largest customers from moving on..
The biggest companies in the world will -
- own the compute
- own the data
- own the workflow
- fine tune the model around their business
- switch providers when the pricing or quality changes
Dario and sama want to make this illegal by bringing in regulation.. and become the AI overlords..

We'll give a rare tour opportunity at Terraform HQ during #LATechWeek. @cjhandmer will gesticulate in the direction of shiny machinery, mumble incoherently about maximizing energy production growth rates, lapse into extended digressions on Mesopotamian nitrogen fixation proxies, and deploy highly virulent infohazards.
Limited availability.
Link below, because X still hasn't figured out to expand links in feed. @nikitabier can we make this happen?

A rare personal note. My dear friend Ivo (the dad) has a rare genetic liver disease (PSC) and has, after concerted persuasion from those of us who love him dearly, finally consented to a public appeal for a living donor.
Liver donation is quite miraculous in that one can give half and both halves grow back.
Fwiw, none of the AI models yet understand how to cure PSC, though I would bet that the next generation of humans will be more lucky.
I've never asked for RTs etc before but I think it would help in this case!

At @TerraformIndies we're interested in developing a trash rock refining process. All these so-called rare minerals are present in undifferentiated basalt in ~1% quantities, we plan to burn electrons to get it done. The npv of the metals in a ton of road gravel (market price $15) is about $1200. This is a Starlink class problem: huge pain in the ass, big moat from pain tolerance. If you know someone who is hell bent on making this happen, please get in touch.

China is requiring for the first time that steel&cement plants buy renewable electricity. Together with the higher minimum share of renewables for distribution firms, this boosts demand just as new solar&wind plants have to secure contracts directly with buyers.

Top 5 advances in medicine in May (🧵)
1. A record-breaking genetic therapy
This bespoke CRISPR therapy was tailored for one patient's mutation, breaking two records: the first personalised gene editing, and (possibly) the fastest a medicine's ever been produced
There's a small risk of off-target editing, a requirement for lifelong immunosuppression, and how this looks in the long-term isn't known
Despite the limitations, this approach could - in theory - be used to treat hundreds of rare genetic illnesses

Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise additional funds. gofundme.com/f/fund-jonathan…

1/🚨@CRISPRTX presented new promising data from its Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CTX112 - $CRSP CD19 allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy for treating cancer patients with R/R follicular & marginal zone lymphoma. The FDA has recently granted CTX112 a RMAT designation $XBI #ASH24 #ASH2024
ALT CRISPR Therapeutics - a biopharmaceutical company focused on creating transformative gene-based medicines for serious diseases, today presented data from the Company’s ongoing Phase 1/2 dose escalation clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of CTX112, a next-generation CD19 allogeneic CAR T cell therapy, in relapsed or refractory (R/R) CD19-positive B-cell malignancies at the 2024 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. Additionally, the Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation to CTX112 for the treatment of R/R follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma.

Ukraine is much more than a “proxy theater.”
It is the decisive theater.
If Ukraine falls, its 1 million man military is deleted from the West’s order of battle, and NATO is left with no counter move when Russia seizes the Baltic States, showing NATO to be helpless.
Game over.

I'm reminded today that the world of science is what I wish the entire world could be: people of different nations, races, creeds, and opinions working together to achieve great things. #sfn2024

Throughout history, information revolutions have created new political structures, economic models and cultural norms. The current information revolution is the most significant one we've had, and it's likely to create unprecedented realities on an unprecedented scale.

There’s a lot on AfD here — too much to cover here. Read the full story!
A memo reads: “Our opinion leader became the deputy leader of the AfD faction!”.
Russia even measures success using AfD polling stats and does the same with France’s National Rally (Le Pen, etc).

On a daily basis during my time in command of Army forces in Europe, every day the intelligence "black book" would provide more information on Putin's Russia attempts at malign influence against the west...and especially against the US.
Today, the @TheJusticeDept has taken action...but because of current divisions in the US, many Americans will have questions.
So let's talk about it...

Justice Department Disrupts Covert Russian Government-Sponsored Foreign Malign Influence Operation Targeting Audiences in the United States and Elsewhere
🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…
ALT “The DOJ is seizing 32 internet domains that the Russian government and Russian government-sponsored actors have used to engage in a covert campaign to interfere in and influence the outcome of our country’s elections. As alleged in our court filings, President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle, including Sergei Kiriyenko, directed Russian public relations companies to promote disinformation and state-sponsored narratives as part of a campaign to influence the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.”

Recovered Ukrainian children struggle to rebalance after Russian indoctrination efforts
Number of stolen children is unknown — estimates from 20,000 to ***720,000***
This is monstrous and anyone tweeting memes about it deserves condemnation

An exciting discovery: Scientists were stunned when @MarsCuriosity found something never before seen on the Red Planet: yellow sulfur crystals.
While the rover has detected sulfur-based minerals before, this rock is made of pure, elemental sulfur. go.nasa.gov/3LuYCTf
ALT A close-up photo taken by the Curiosity rover shows pure yellow sulfur crystals within a rock the robot drove over. Surrounding the yellow crystals is sandy and rust-colored Martian rock. Along the crack in the center are dull yellow crystalline pieces of elemental sulfur.
