"Empowering Technology: Core Values and Priorities"

Feb 27, 2024 - 1:53pmSummary: The text outlines several core values related to technology, including accessibility, symbiosis, balance, presence, open-source software, privacy, self-actualization, individual empowerment, democratizing computing, knowledge, and enabler for achieving goals. The speaker also mentions the importance of putting data in one place and reducing attention-sucking elements in technology.

Comment: Some values stuff

Transcript: So, now thinking from first principles, given what we said, I mean, the clear threads for me are few. Obviously making computers more accessible is one of them. This thing of symbiosis is in there for sure. Balance and presence. Open source software. These are all kind of values, and beyond that is privacy. And some of it is also, I guess, regarding self-actualization. And that really is more a concept of individual empowerment. Empowering the individual. Democratizing compute. And that really goes with knowledge and a bunch of other topics, quite frankly. But that's a much deeper core value. But certainly privacy is there. Accessibility is there. Symbiosis and balance are both there. And with all of this is the fundamental idea that putting data in one place opens up so many possibilities. That allow us to achieve things like self-actualization. And making computers more accessible. And privacy. It's the enabler for the core motivation in some way. So, yeah. That's kind of like where it is. And maybe another one is getting computers out of the way. Not attention-sucking. So that's at least one more clear thing about values. I might need to take a nap.

The democratization of compute is about making it easier for more people to use computers and program without having to program. This includes being able to come up with app ideas and distribute them as they see fit. Data also plays a part in this democratization. Currently, people have limited tools to build their computing environment, relying on tools given by others. The aim is to enable more people to make their own tools.

The speaker is considering the research question of how to achieve distributed compute, particularly the need for parallelism in executing pipelines and AI agents. They question the potential for building a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) that allows for agents to dynamically contribute to it and execute in parallel, emphasizing the need for pipeline development to accommodate this level of complexity. The discussion also touches on the scalability and parallel execution potential of the mixture of experts model, such as GPT-4, and the potential for hierarchical or vector space implementation. The speaker is keen on exploring the level of parallelism achievable through mixture of experts but acknowledges the limited understanding of its full capabilities at this point. They also express curiosity about fine-tuning experts for personal data. The speaker is discussing the data they are generating and the value of the training data for their system, particularly emphasizing the importance of transforming the data to suit their context and actions. They mention meditating and recording their thoughts, which they intend to transform into a bullet point list using an AI model after running it through a pipeline. The individual also discusses making their data publicly accessible and considering using GPT (possibly GPT-3) to post summaries of their thoughts on Twitter. They also ponder the potential of using machine learning models to create a personal Google-like system for individual data. The text discusses using data chunking as a method for generating backlinks and implementing PageRank in an agent system. It mentions steep space models and the continuous updating of internal state during training. It also compares the level of context in transformer models and discusses the idea of transformer as a compression of knowledge in a language. The speaker expresses interest in understanding the concept of decay in relation to memory and its impact on the storage and retrieval of information. They draw parallels between the processing of information in their mind and the functioning of a transformer model, with the long-term memory being likened to a transformer and short-term memory to online processing. They speculate on the potential of augmenting the transformer model with synthetic training data to improve long-term context retention and recall. Additionally, they mention a desire to leverage a state space model to compile a list of movies recommended by friends and contemplate the symbiotic relationship between technology and human sensory inputs in the future. In this passage, the speaker reflects on the relationship between humans and computers, suggesting that a form of symbiosis already exists between the two. They acknowledge the reliance on technology and the interconnectedness of biological and computational intelligence, viewing them as mutually beneficial and likening the relationship to symbiosis in nature. They express a preference for living at the juxtaposition of humans and computers, while acknowledging the potential challenges and the need to address potential risks. Additionally, they mention that their thoughts on this topic have been influenced by their experiences with psychedelics. The speaker discusses the potential increase in computing power over the next five years, mentioning the impact of Moore's Law and advancements in lithography and semiconductors. They refer to the semiconductor roadmap up to 2034, highlighting the shift towards smaller measurements, such as angstroms, for increased transistor density. They emphasize that the nanometer measurements are based on nomenclature rather than actual transistor size, and the challenges in increasing density due to size limitations and cost constraints. The conversation touches on different companies' approaches to transistor density and the role of ASML in pushing lithography boundaries, before concluding with a reference to the high cost and potential decline in revenue for semiconductor production. The speaker discusses the importance of semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. and China's significant focus in this area. They mention watching videos and reading sub stacks related to semiconductor technology, specifically referencing industry analysts and experts in the field. The speaker expresses enthusiasm for staying updated on developments and offers to share information with the listener. The conversation concludes with a friendly farewell and the possibility of future discussions.
