This is exactly what we need to enable true embodied AGI - think “mirror neurons” but for robotics.

General-purpose humanoid robots capable of interfacing with our physical world will be one of humanity’s most pivotal innovations.

Anyone know if they're using TPUs for inference? It'll be real interesting if they're not bottlenecked by Nvidia chips.

A former colleague of mine is at Meta thanks to this exact strategy. There are also apparently leaked question banks available to facilitate the process!

The difference is, we're soon going to have autonomous agents that do all the PRs for us.

It's astounding just how quiet EV's are; they can make you hyperaware of other noises (hence why this page exists).

IMO, one of the most interesting problem spaces is in cooperative behaviors between autonomous agents.

Remember, about a month ago Sam posted a comment along the lines of "AI will be capable of superhuman persuasion well before it is superhuman at general intelligence, which may lead to very strange outcomes".

The board was likely spooked by the recent breakthroughs (which were most likely achieved by combining transformers with another approach), and hit the panic button.

Anything capable of "superhuman persuasion", especially prior to an election cycle, has tremendous consequences in the wrong hands.

If we achieve AGI it has the potential to capture most (if not all) economic value. Larry Summers was a deliberate choice indeed.

Yes, however they’ll be shielded from lawsuits from OpenAI at Microsoft.

This is unfortunate, and likely stems from the recent accident that caused the loss of their CA license suspension, which may have jeopardized their upcoming fundraising.

Perhaps Kyle will end up on the OpenAI board.

What I find incredibly odd is the lack of a Microsoft board seat, considering their large ownership in OpenAI. Something does not add up.

I don’t think this is necessarily what happened (the CFO would certainly be implicated and it appears they were spared).

Are you noticing this with the API too? I’ve observed inconsistencies in response time via API (v4-T)

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Not at this time.

Technologies/Skills: Technical product management, engineering management, data science, Python, SQL, AWS etc.

Email: hn [@] shree.io

I’m a senior technical product manager with over a decade of experience working in tech as a SWE, founder, product manager. I’ve built and scaled products & teams for companies in all sorts of industries (most recently in the healthcare/health tech space), and thrive in fast-paced environments where I'm able to drive engineering initiatives. I'm a hacker at heart, and love to prototype "moonshots" (currently working on a use case using LLM's for extracting insights from unstructured medical data).

I’m predominantly interested in technical product management/engineering management opportunities at companies in the AI space, but am open-minded to any organization whose mission I align with - ideally leveraging technology for accelerating human progress.

Precisely. I do utilize coworking spaces quite a bit, however I tend to go in on days where I don't have many calls scheduled. Also, my home office setup (ultra wide external monitor + 4K external camera and mic etc) wins when I actually need to be productive.

Yes, most coworking spots have phone booths, but they can tend to be claustrophobic and limited in availability.
