different models. high level approach: N models receive the same prompt → responses are consolidated through a simple embedding-based similarity matrix → another model performs a simple assessment of deduplicated responses → these are then consolidated into a research report & data visualization.

the whole contraption uses ~10 different models, but more can easily be plugged into the initial generation phase. happy to demo it sometime! [edit: email on profile].

same here. I first built the agentic workflow in python and later nextjs. uses dozens of llm apis. works well, and am also impressed with the results.

How do we know which institutions to trust in safely deploying AGI? From my POV some kind of autonomous and generalized intelligence is inevitable and imminent - but who can be trusted to deliver something that works for the majority? Or is that a pipe dream?

> The main difference between the prototype shown today and what will be going to the moon is that the ones going to the moon will be white instead of dark. “That’s really for thermal reasons,” Mr. Ralston said.

OP here.

We're an independent and distributed research institute focused on tracking advancement in emerging technology. Envisioning began as a series of speculative future infographics in 2011 and have since developed visualization tools in d3.js, a methodology for scouting emerging tech as well as our own backend for tracking these changing data.

Today we are launching a platform for tracking tech around urban innovation [linked] meant to help public officials make better decisions around tech and promote more democratic futures.

AMA.

Interesting! Where can one read more about this initiative? French sources OK.

It’s an allusion to Game Neverending, which eventually led to development of Flickr
