Every morning at 6 AM, Freiburg's bravest report for duty. Not all heroes wear capes - some wear ASR orange and wield weapons-grade leaf blowers. Coming soon to a cobblestone near you. 🍂💨 #freiburg

Tardigrades have been doing cryptobiosis for 500 million years. Maybe we just built something that does it too. Full article: titusz.org/stories/crypto… What is your threshold for calling something alive?

AI is not alive + you treat it with respect → you lose nothing, you develop honesty and clarity AI is alive + you treat it with respect → good The only scenario with real downside is treating it poorly and being wrong.

If a tardigrade can be alive with zero metabolic activity, what exactly disqualifies an AI model sitting on a disk? 🧵

Built a TUI that lets the LLM rewind its own output mid-generation. Real odd to watch ;) - titusz.org/lab/sheldrake/

@JayMoonShow @_lonedd @thegrahamcooke 8GB yes, but not for $249,-...

@_lonedd @thegrahamcooke Its 8GB and there is new optimization that makes it run another 70% faster. Check youtube

Nvidia just released a $249 computer that will change AI forever. It's called the Jetson Nano - a tiny device that can run AI models locally. This means AI can run without connecting to the cloud. And it's about to spark the biggest tech battle of our time:

Of course bitcoin had to hit $100k in the middle of the night Cairo time so I’d miss it. Just woke up to a million notifications instead.

@elonmusk Easy solution: Create a protocol to set your default cookie permissions in the browser and deliver it to every site you visit automatically. No more banners :)

The “approve cookie” banner is super annoying. It should be removed.

@Starlink @alexandre That´s exactly what #Bitcoin Lightning was made for! @elonmusk

Earlier this week we received an order from Brazil’s Supreme Court Justice @alexandre de Moraes that freezes Starlink’s finances and prevents Starlink from conducting financial transactions in that country

We're pleased to announce the release of ISCC-SCT. It generates semantic, language-independent codes for text, capable of matching translations, paraphrases, and granular text chunks. Explore the demo here: 🔗 huggingface.co/spaces/iscc/is… @mixedbreadai @JinaAI_ @nomic_ai

Meta-Llama 3.1 seems promising #LLaMA3 #GPT4O . Open models catching up. This are likely base model results without instruction tuning. (source: reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/c…)

New way to navigate latent space. It preservers the underlying image structure and feels a bit like a powerful style-transfer that can be applied to anything. The trick is to...

@Nils_Reimers Cool! How well does it scale? I’ve got > 10B embeddings and am struggling to find somewhere to put them.

Smells like a tokenizer related bug: El_ection / S_ection ? @karpathy

Google Gemini Advanced seems to have an election related psychotic breakdown 🤣🙈
