memetic evolution (ME) is different to genetic evolution (GE) in one major way. GE has no way to descend mount improbable. ME can and does. this has huge consequences in the near future but allows for greater peaks to be found. I suspect a power law to objective morality.
Nastolgia-maxxing. The act of purposely inducing the the state of emotional state of nastolgia for feelings of comfort. Can be a good thing, can be a bad thing. eg: cooking something your mom used to make you as a kid. Rewatching a movie/series for the 20th time. what yall think?
Just wanted to thank all the authors' who write review papers, compiling the current state of research. I think they are the unsung heroes of academia <3
It's sad how much random hate Lex gets. He's exposed millions of people (who don't have your Twitter feed) to ideas in science/tech which they'd never have encountered otherwise. And there's 100s of hours of recorded insights from great minds that wouldn't exist without him.
Most anticipated podcast of 2025?
A butterfly is born 🦋 This is a new type of CA called "MaCE Lenia", by @VassPapas & E Guichard. arXiv paper: arxiv.org/abs/2507.12306 They'll have a poster & demo at @ALifeConf, (I will also have a booth nearby). Please come to visit us at Posters + Public Expo (Tue 5-8pm)!
@theo @danfq_dev I get the point but im pretty sure a robbery is when armed people enter your house while you're there no? A burglary is what you mean.
The idea of Progress is so fragile that mere attempts to reinvent a wheel poses an existential threat to it.
It's not about the product we build. It's about the vc investment we raise along the way.
@robkhenderson @dwarkesh_sp I always heard that men are at their physical peak between 29-35. Not in terms of recovery but physical strength
Has anyone had any success using local llm's for anything useful? I have been trying to play with them but they fail pretty much everything I throw at them. With my 16gb GPU , the biggest model I can run is ca. 14b so maybe that's the issue? are only 30+ gb models useful?
Does anyone know if there will be a technical report on @Inceptionlab Mercury model? I read a paper about diffusion language models but seemed to be slower so I don't understand why the diffusion based approach is so fast. They people over there are building a super cool product!
@zzznah Wish I could make it but saw the post too late :'( Good luck!
@tsoding I shouldn't be here but I'ma play the game regardless ^^
Little known swiss.gl feature: VR support. Shall I develop it further?
TinyZero reproduction of R1-Zero "experience the Ahah moment yourself for < $30" Given a base model, the RL finetuning can be relatively very cheap and quite accessible.
We reproduced DeepSeek R1-Zero in the CountDown game, and it just works Through RL, the 3B base LM develops self-verification and search abilities all on its own You can experience the Ahah moment yourself for < $30 Code: github.com/Jiayi-Pan/Tiny… Here's what we learned 🧵
@lexfridman I would also love to know their opinions of what this means for frontier labs and hig tech as a whole since the whole tech market lost over a trillion dollars in a couple days. Whether they think it's an overreaction etc.
@lexfridman I'd love to hear their opinions on the chip tarrifs and whether it helped or hindered them? It's an incredible feat what they managed to do with so few resources!

"Move 37" is the word-of-day - it's when an AI, trained via the trial-and-error process of reinforcement learning, discovers actions that are new, surprising, and secretly brilliant even to expert humans. It is a magical, just slightly unnerving, emergent phenomenon only
