Government is force. There is nothing that force can do that free people, working together, cannot do better.
The very FIRST words of Satoshi's white paper: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer..." @NSmolenski delivers a simple yet profound talk on the importance of these 5 words at The Bitcoin Policy Summit in DC (@btcpolicyorg) 🔥
Last week and this I graduated my 11th and 12th PhD students, Kenny Young and Abhishek Naik. Kenny will go work for a startup, maybe Astrus.ai or Equilibretechnologies.com. Abhishek’s next step it TBD, but he would like something in AI and space exploration.

I met Vinge once too, and read all his books. His definition of the singularity, from 1993, is still the best. I asked how to pronounce his name. He said it rhymes with purkinje (or stingy).

Why do people fear AI? I hear three reasons: 1. Cynicism — the belief that it is rational not to cooperate 2. Humanism/racism — systematic bias against machines, denial of their potential moral worth and personhood 3. Conservatism — fear of change, fear of the other tribe None…

My tenth PhD student, Banafsheh Rafiee, just defended her thesis “State Construction in Reinforcement Learning”, in which she introduced three diagnostic testbeds based on animal learning experiments and the first generate-and-test algorithm for discovering auxiliary subtasks.…
Worth hearing
AI systems of today outsource learning to humans. They excel at distilling the knowledge discovered by humans into neural networks. The real prize of AI is in algorithms that can discover knowledge themselves. The end goal is a learning algorithm, not a set of weights.
If you are pro-decentralization, but anti-gun rights, check your premises.

Important findings. See attached from @RichardSSutton over 20 years ago. If we accept that the frontier of latent space (and, thus, reality) is infinite, then there will always be a need for expertise (or "reliable verifiers").
LLMs as verifiers of (their own) results are simply not accurate enough and will result in worse performance (and you paying a lot for the API) The best thing about the paper by Ziru: It verifies the results from @rao2z from a totally different domain and setting!

@RichardSSutton I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this tweet, myself I think it is all about control and people thinking their going to loss it, which is kinda funny, if people realize how little control they actually have already.
Hot take: The intended message of "The Bitter Lesson" is that we should focus on discovering scalable methods, *not* that we should just scale existing methods.
After the USSR collapsed - propaganda abruptly ended - rubles were devalued - zombie companies failed - talent emigrated - monetary experiments proliferated - natural resources were exported - and hard currency dominated Surprisingly good summary here: npr.org/transcripts/10…
Good research comes from a place of calm, and from dedicated, prolongued focus. If you're constantly panicking and trying to jump on every small research trend, you have already lost. The best researchers I've worked with seemed to have all the time in the world to discuss ideas.
Academics: What is a piece of advice that you never received from a mentor that you want to be certain your students hear?
The notion that the world has a simple structure that, once learned, enables good generalization everywhere is flawed. Many aspects---names of new people, location of potholes in a new city, etc.---are unpredictable. One has to adapt to them when needed by learning continually.
@RichardSSutton Super excited to share that Yi will be joining my team as a postdoc to work on applied reinforcement learning research at Meta AI!
I have a recommended reading list for Artificial Intelligence, and it hasn't changed since 2019. I give this list to my grad students, but all of the articles are broadly accessible if you're interested. Very short 🧵.
