Transcript: My previous recording didn't work, so here we are. Gonna simplify my thinking into two buckets, one being AI-level parallelism, basically wanting a better pipeline, and to be able to execute different LLM tasks in parallel, as well as being able to have agents in the future be able to add information to an execution graph. To be able to parallelize that, and that will be very important for distributed systems kind of processing, I believe. I think there's probably gonna be significant advances in how we distribute these models and can run them in parallel. So that seems like an important thing to be able to do from the software side, is getting infrastructure ready to be able to run things in parallel. Execute much faster, basically. And that could come down to hardware level or even network level. I think both need to be covered. The second bucket is transformations and wanting to add some kind of transformation to data on the webpage. For example, turning some unstructured transcript into a bullet point list. I think that makes a lot of sense, and that should be safe to JSON and all of these things, but that's more or less it. I may even want to take this text, for example, and turn it directly into a GitHub issue. As I'm thinking about this, and I really just want it to be like, okay, this thing right here, I know what it is. The agent actually doesn't even need to know what it is immediately. That would be a nice step, but I know it needs to be a GitHub issue, so I'd love to just be able to basically write, turn this into a GitHub issue. Turn bucket two into a GitHub issue, because I could read the transcript and figure out what needs to be done, and I could skim it and get that information. I'm actually not trying to solve the bigger problem yet, because that doesn't matter, and we can effectively capture that context and get the training data as a result of my actions and transformations that I want to make on the data. That gives the model a much better idea of what kinds of things I want to be doing on my data, and that can be used to fine-tune models, I believe.
The speaker aspires to be part of communities that empower individuals to explore their data and bring value back to themselves. They are willing to take a job in such a space and believe it's worth doing. The goal is to build tools that make it easy for the individual to work with their data directly on a web page. They plan to move to a more reactive front end using Next.js and React, designing a feed and query system possibly using natural language. The speaker also mentions working on embedding audio and ensuring embeddings are accessible. The text discusses the process of obtaining and manipulating data and emphasizes the importance of experimentation and innovation. It uses the metaphor of building a playground to illustrate the iterative nature of the process, acknowledging that initial attempts may be imperfect but can be improved upon through learning from mistakes. The writer anticipates challenges but expresses a hope to avoid negative consequences and eventually achieve success. Finally, the text concludes with a lighthearted remark and a reference to going to sleep.
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.

The individual has discovered that working backward from a desired result with a large language model is surprisingly effective, especially when detailing the problem forward seems challenging. This backward approach has simplified the problem and resulted in the use of GPT-4 for data transformation within the context window, improving the process. An automatic metadata generation pipeline is emerging, where data transformations are added as needed, potentially storing transformations for future use based on query relevance. This system will generate an extensive amount of synthetic data, allowing for the extraction of relevant information through queries fed into the model at later stages, rather than having to pre-determine all questions.
