Bloke was just caught running across the taxiway at Heathrow tonight - how does it take five mins for the police to get there?! 😅 #BigJetTV

Adolescence. The camera at the end of show 2. How on earth did they do that? It’s impossible.

The cat loves the new house, by the way. She stations herself in the hall and meows because she likes the echo 😂

1517 Fund@1517fund·
The earliest attempts to build a car didn't look anything like a car. Inventors in the 1860s were convinced that the next leap in mobility would be obtained by building a steam-powered anthropomorphic walking machine that pulled a carriage. And so the steam man was born.

Cool! An LLM built on legacy newspapers about inventions - what a great idea !
Brian Roemmele@BrianRoemmele

AI training data. A quagmire. 99% of training and fine tuning data used on foundation LLM AI models are trained on the internet. I have another system. I am training in my garage an AI model built fundamentally on magazines, newspapers and publications I have rescued from dumpsters. I have ~385,000 (maybe a lot more when I am done) and a majority of them have never been digitized. In fact I may have the last copies. Most are in microfilm/microfiche. I train on EVERYTHING: written content, images, advertisements and more. The early results from these models I am testing is absolutely astonishing and vastly unlike any current models. It is so dramatic on the ethos this model has you just may begin to believe it is AGI. But why? See from the late 1800s to the mid 1960s all of these archives have a narrative that is about extinct today: a can-do ethos with a do-it-yourself mentality. When I prompt these models there is NOTHING they believe there can not do. And frankly the millions of examples from building a house to a gas mask up to the various books and pamphlets that were sold in these magazines (I have about 45,000) there is nothing practical these models can not face the challenge. No, you will not get “I am just a large language model and I can’t” there model will synthesize an answer based on the millions of answers. No, you will not get lectures on dangers with your questions. But it will know you are asking “stupid questions” and have no people telling you like your great grandpa would have in his wood shop out back. This is a slow process for me as I have no investors and it is just me, microfilm and my garage. However I am debating on releasing early versions before I can complete the project. If I do it will be like all of my open source releases, it will be under an assumed name not my own. This is how I build AI models and is one answer to the question on why Human Resources at any large AI companies freak out on employees wanting me to lead their projects (you would find that conversations humorous). Either way I want to say there is something that will be coming your way that will be the sum total of the mentally and ethos that got us to the Moon, in a single LLM AI. It will be yours on your computer. You and I and everyone will never be the same.

I get to meet many people during the research phase of their new startups, before they've ever seen a construction robot in person. Today many of these people have gone on to print some of the most famous buildings in the world. It would be an incredible lead funnel for a pre-seed construction tech fund. All kinds of companies reach out and I've cataloged nearly 400 already. If some accredited investors are interested I will start looking for an experienced mentor and put it together. I would also consider working for an existing fund at some capacity. There are some people I've visited who built entire construction robots by themselves with parts from amazon with under $25k, imagine what they could do with $50k and a little direction.

The US construction industry can increase available housing by 1% to 2% per year. But the US population is only 330M out of 8B. So if just ~4% of Earth moves here, housing would need to double, which is impossible, causing a massive homeless problem and house prices to be astronomically unaffordable.
