A lot of folks talk about "escaping the permanent underclass". If AGI pans out, the future class divide won't be based on wealth, but on cognitive agency. There will be a "focus class" (those who control their attention and actually do things) and a "slop class" (those whose reward loops are fully RL-managed by AI)




BREAKING: Several injuries after Air Canada plane and firetruck collide on runaway at New York's LaGuardia Airport




Few know this, but I (George) was the only person in history to get a perfect score in CMU compilers, which is likely the best compilers course in the world. Combine that with crazy low level knowledge of hardware from 10 years of hacking. Then add a team of people who are talented enough to push back on my dumb ideas and clean up the implementations of the good ones. The team who keeps this whole operation running, software, infrastructure, and product. I love how there's no hype in deep learning compilers. It was one of the most annoying things about self driving cars, all the noobs who burned through billions on crap that was obviously dumb, and the companies who deserved to go bankrupt years ago if not for government bailouts (Tesla and China will devour them all). In this space, the competition is @jimkxa at Tenstorrent, @clattner_llvm at Modular, and @JeffDean at Google. Three of the living legends of computer science. And companies like @nvidia and @AMD, who are definitely live players, making single chips that have more power than the whole Internet two decades ago. This space is so fun to play in. If you haven't, read the tinygrad spec. It's all coming together beautifully.

As most of you know, my son is a Sailor. He sent a picture of his lunch yesterday from the galley. I’m thankful that we are finally taking care of our men and women in uniform. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
