What the hell did I just end up reading!

This #book is the most intelligent science fiction I’ve read but it’s also most challenging.

The author doesn’t care to explain all the complicated creatures and systems he’s imagining - the reader has to piece it together as she reads along.

This is insane.

Gemini solves problems on the image itself.

Think how crazy this is: it has to somehow fit all the steps within the space provided using a similar font size as my handwriting.

These AIs are getting smarter and weirder!

What an absolute gem of a #book on the philosophy of mathematics!

The book asks for an innocuous question - what are we doing when we’re doing mathematics?

It’s so ironic that ChatGPT knows what its future self could end up doing, and what humans should do to prevent that.

Stop watching short-form videos.

Meta-analysis of ~100k people shows how it is associated with decreased cognition and increased stress + anxiety.

I know this is correlation, not causation but ask yourself - do you feel great after a session of consuming reels/shorts?

Yep, truth is usefulness and rationality is winning.

Meta's new Segment Anything 3D is insane!

Upload any image and it converts it into 3D object. Quite impressive.

I will be giving a talk this Friday on risks posed by advanced AIs.

The talk is both online, and offline (in Bangalore). RSVP link 👇

Played with Gemini 3.0 today.

Seriously impressive.

Installed a bird camera in my balcony and captured this red bulbul in a frame.

Ok, whoever filled this, you have my respect!

made me chuckle (:

An intriguing #book.

In it, the author - a philosopher - argues that finetuning of our physical constants is an evidence of a purpose in our universe, which includes emergence of life and realization of value.

No, Calvin, you can be a kid forever :)

Just keep playing.

It's crazy that ChatGPT writes like @sama – often in all small case.

Goes on to show how models inherit biases and style of their creators.

This is a beautiful article by Vitalik!

Strongly recommended.

It has been roughly 6 months of pursuing research at @lossfunk!

Check out the kinds of questions we're exploring 👇

Before creating superintelligence, Meta should teach its dumb AI that it cannot set reminders and shouldn’t promise so.

Honestly, the inability to do something as simple as this on WhatsApp is a lost opportunity.

The colors we can name in our language is influenced by what ripe fruits and edible objects can we find in our ancestral environment.

Truer that it should be!

Why this happens?

Because modern base models have ingested all the discussion on chat templates on the internet and hence will know how to close chat tags etc.
November 2, 2025 at 3:49 AM
OK, i love base models!

Not many may know but base models can follow instructions. No separate instruction tuning needed!

See here Qwen-8B-Base. All you do is to use a chat template as prompt for completion and your base model will happily give a response in the *same* format.

Can’t fucking believe it - I finished my first 10k run! 🎉🏃

Slept at 9pm, woke up at 4:30am, ran 1.5 hours nonstop - you can just do things!
