@kamalikac Congratulations! You're living my dream I hope get to work with demmis someday.

Some news: I have joined Google Deepmind as a research scientist. I will be leading a team that does research on making Gemini more secure and private. LLMs are now highly capable, and security has become a barrier to realizing their full potential as agents. I am excited to join the team and help make Gemini the most secure frontier model.

@pushmeet @GoogleDeepMind Awesome! can you guys opensource Alpha zero I have a usecase for it that i think will change thet world.

Just back from an inspiring trip to Singapore 🇸🇬 where I met Theodore Kwan, an 8-year-old! chemistry whiz who is already using AlphaFold to explore and learn more about conditions like cystic fibrosis with his mum. It’s great to see @GoogleDeepMind's AlphaFold model inspiring the next generation of scientists :) Read more about him at: straitstimes.com/singapore/pare…

I hereby profess that I will henceforth not be buying products from the pepsico company, inlight of their recent backstabbing of kanye west.

@keylimepie2000 WOMP WOMP your name literally has shit in it

No shit. Delete that tweet and take it back.

I couldn’t care less what Kanye West says or does. If Brits want to part with their money to watch him shout into a microphone, let them. He’s a nutcase. But it should be up to those people who purchased a ticket if they attend his events. Not Starmer. Banning him is too far.

@keylimepie2000 Analyst 3 is prolly a 3rd world migrant low value life

Analyst 3’s MBA college application essay 🤌🏻

@Keir_Starmer All of a sudden we can decide who gets to enter Britain? Deport the third world rapists, conmen and sex pests before Kanye sodding West.

@nirajxdev Maybe their margins are more than 7rs

if they are giving, 7 rupee off, how tf they are making money ?

@Kulfei Kidney buster

what the hell is this drink

If you sell $30m in show tickets, make a stage design worth $31m Only people that truly believe in themselves put all the chips back on the table after they win.

@abnux Was trav there

can’t believe I just saw Ye perform in LA omggg

@peeleraja Please do nikhil kamath take you need to expand your horizons to attract the average startup bro

My Rajdeep Sardesai take. The word Juggernaut comes from the Odia word Jagannath. Odisha is famous for the rasagulla which they allege was stolen by Bengal. Tulika is a Bengali working for Jagannath - so this spat in the east coast of India is now resonating in the east coast of America, between a New Yorker and a Bostoner. It is a delicious war - pakhala bhat versus khichuri. Otherwarya's elaborate pongal pitted against Puja's humble, yet award-winning panta bhat. Food for thought? Shubhratri.

Lifeofpujaa vs Otherwarya vs Tulika Juggernaut vs Mehdi Harvard brouhaha. My Shekhar Gupta 50-word edit: Some recent online spats have exposed deep fissures in the South Asian community, in India and in the Ivy Leagues. Instead of fighting, we must unite under the visionary leadership of honorable PM Modi, and inculcate the image of Viksit Bharat both in the Indian as well as western media.

@ShachiGambhir Wakefit is new age?

Are new age mattress brands like the sleep company or wakefit reliable or should we rather opt for legacy brands like kurlon and sleep well?

@RanadheeraGowda Not even kidding felt like eating it the other day

Oracle is doing mass layoffs again. Other big companies have been doing that too. Are they in trouble? Or has AI improved so much that human labor is unnecessary? The answer is more complex. These companies are floating in cash and do not need to cut cost. In fact they will quietly hire more people again and business will be back to normal. They are using layoffs to do what economics Nobel laureate Michael Spence called "signaling". Those massive data centers are part of the same signaling game. Here is how this works. Oracle (or any other tech company) needs to signal to investors that it is taking AI seriously. Because otherwise it becomes a dodo in your eyes and you sell its stock and the price crashes. The CXOs cannot let this happen because their net worths are tied to this stock price. Their major compensation is via stocks and not salary. Thus, their incentives are tied to making mostly invisible decisions that will jack up the stock price. This is called "moral hazard" in economics lingo. Except, there is nothing moral and only hazard in what happens next. Read on. Most of what happens in Oracle (or any company) is invisible to the investor. You do not observe the work, meetings, hiring, etc. So how do they show you, the investor that they are doing serious work? That they are expending what economists call "costly effort"? The only public signals to do this are ads claiming great AI developments (people see through them after a while), press releases and linkedin posts (again bullshit), new product launches (very hard to make a revolutionary new product) and a few more. This is one reason why many companies announce bullshit vaporware products. To show they are working hard and jack up the share price. Announcing a multibillion dollar data center and AI university in Vizag is a very visible public signal. But people see through that too, after a while. Plus, a data center or fab factory may take several years to materialize. You need a quick, high visibility public signal, to jack up share prices NOW! A mass layoff is the perfect high visibility public signal. It is effected immediately. Its victims do not have unions and their bargaining power is very limited. There are hundreds of thousands of new job applicants who can quietly replace the old ones. Yet you show that you are embracing new tech and efficiency. This is why every McKinsey/BCG consultant recommends layoffs. The public sees the signal via dismay on social media and huge media coverage. This is a VERY credible signal and the stock price rises. The CXOs' net worths rise. Maybe some of the laid off employees too have ESOPs and heir own net worth rises. The others are just collateral damage. The laid off employees are mostly just pawns. Like footsoldiers who the kings and heads of state regularly sacrifice, to enrich their own coffers. In this case the CXOs and investors gain. The psychological, personal and economic fallout of the mass layoffs is quickly forgotten. Till the next layoff.

@arunraj3935 Play stupid games win stupid prices you vegetable

It was called chilly dusted gold fingers. This is what they brought to me when i ordered it . In Indiranagar Toit.

@MelindaBChu1 @curiouswavefn Last i checked there was not much in terms of lab work therefore no data

@curiouswavefn They never released any wet lab data.

While impressive in its own right, it’s worth remembering that predicting protein-drug interactions is like 0.01% of the drug discovery and development pipeline and the spare change part of it. Saying that that’s revolutionizing the process is like convincing someone, in Derek Lowe’s memorable words, that you’ve invented a revolutionary new car because its windows go up and down ten times faster.

@keylimepie2000 Sista alpha fold 2 wouldn't have happened without the cash flows and benevolence of Google. L take

Big companies are so boring. Sometimes I wish Deepmind had not sold to Google.

@colossusmag Demmis' hassabis is building isomorphic to cure cancer and you fucks are shaming him

Hassabis secretly built a hedge fund inside DeepMind trying to beat Jim Simons. Google shut it down.
