the deepest cave in the world has 4 base camps, and it takes more than 4 days to reach the bottom, where you find a “turquoise lake, about 15 meters long and 8 meters wide, surrounded by jet-black limestone”

The UK AI Safety Institute is hiring more technical staff! I believe AISI is one of the best places to do ML research/eng for the public good. We’re having impact at the scale of government, while moving at the pace of a startup (what more could you ask for?)

They buried the lede on this new study. It's not that exercise beats out SSRIs for depression treatment, but that *just* dancing has the largest effect of *any treatment* for depression. That's kind of beautiful.

this is what life is all about. this is how i grew up, and what i (we all?) lost along the way up the tech curve. i crave a return to simplicity, a rebirth, and find myself glimmering in those small moments when what’s green in the world opens up again. this whole 🧵 is beautiful

Thrilled about these new models - I've been playing around with Claude 3 Opus a lot and it's very capable and useful. Like with most frontier models, it has chewed through a bunch of evals so we need to now build more complicated evals to better understand its capabilities.

ICYMI, AI demos keep upping the ante and outdoing one another in a mesmerizing whirlwind of technical showmanship. What will (won't) this system do when you add a splash of Boston Dymamics to the cocktail?

Actually, you can just choose to bet on your beliefs and build trust in a transparent and public way. Bryan Caplan’s longstanding commitment to doing this is incredibly inspiring. Now you can “bet” alongside him by making predictions on the Metaculus platform.

Curriculum learning on math might be part of the secret to models building more accurate world views. What will happen when we train them on forecasting?
