Just received this in the mail this morning

@Erling Thank you!

It’s been quite a row, thank you for making it so special 🚣🏼🇳🇴❤️

@dankrad are you saying everyone has a different definition? I would have thought that there are some common definition people agree on

@cryptodavidw Can you define AGI?

When you use it for a while on a project, it is clear that even Fable misses things that are obvious to you and you need to drive it in the right direction. Not clear to me what it is, but this has so far I have always felt this with new models after the first impression wears off. Don't get me wrong, it already has superhuman performance for a lot of tasks, but it still feels like there is something missing, although it is hard to pinpoint what exactly. Something happens in the human brain as you get deep into a project and get a good understanding, that models just don't as far as I can observe. Will be interesting if (and when) that gap closes.

I feel like to do good stuff you have to be selfish. Selfish enough to focus on what you want to do and ignore whatever other people around you are doing. Selfish enough to understand what you enjoy doing and not getting distracted wasting time comparing yourself to others

@recmo 100%

@cryptodavidw Making your politics your identity does not produce interesting content. Mostly predictable biased advocacy.

It’s sad but today if you hide all twitter accounts that have an American flag in their username on twitter, things improve drastically

the world cup is almost over, what do people do in the summer in NYC without the world cup?

if you're a product person and you're not spending 24/7 building cool shit now that we have coding agents, are you even a product person?

Ok we have to agree that Meta might have gotten back in the LLM game

from Muse, well this is depressing

If I was France I would subsidize the shit out of Mistral and then would give it for free to every citizen. Not only from an ethical equality of chance perspective, but also from a competitive “let’s accelerate” point of view

@cryptodavidw I don’t think ZK inference is THAT important.

if people are bored with ZK and think things have plateau'ed, and they're looking for actual applications that need/have been making insane progress year after year, and could have a large impact on the world, maybe zk inference is one of them?

@ZamDmytro I like the fact that it's a nice benchmark that teams can work towards to improve ZK, there's huge room for improvement there. Also, I love the idea of self-willed NFTs :P cryptologie.net/posts/whats-ne…

I have been working in zkAI field for roughly a year, and to be honest it still feels like "let us put ZK to yet another thing" to me. In principle, you have two modes: - model is public, inputs are private. This is imho the most interesting case. For example, you can make biometric model public and try to make some "zk biometrics login" stuff. However, once the model is public, you have loads of different problems that you cannot tackle. For example, one might easily do adversarial attacks when weights are known. And in general neural networks cannot be treated as one-way functions. And problems just go on. If you come up with some interesting use-case, that would be awesome - model is private, inputs are public. I think this just kills the idea of ZK because (a) you do not hide users' inputs (like, why do we need ZK in the first place then?) and (b) some centralized entity must store this model. So the only "OK"ish use-case is verification of LLM outputs, but let's be honest: it's unlikely the prover's efficiency will be adequate for the modern scale of architectures

love that RH is talking more and more about crypto i) helps onboard net new capital ii) helps Solana by giving us credible competition to sharpen against this will be a ton of fun (I will die before I let another dude named vlad stand against the ottomans)

We're in a very crypto time of our lives.

@vladtenev @WhaleInsider @Adam_Tehc lol!

@WhaleInsider @Adam_Tehc Couldn't you have used a more recent picture for such big news?

JUST IN: Robinhood Chain flips Base in 24H DEX volume, hitting $905.4 million while Base reaches $899.2 million.

always understand your audience

@ZamDmytro oh nice, PR welcome! didn't know this paper

@cryptodavidw By the way, we have quite down-to-earth explanations how zkML works, so feel free to read the rest of the sections

I really didn't realize the field of zk AI is so big github.com/mimoo/awesome-…

ngl, improving zkao has been very addictive for us, we can't stop it
