Unitree robots working at the unitree factory. The robots are building themselves now.
Almost spat my morning tea out seeing you here. Like bumping into Taylor Swift at Walmart. Welcome!
Q1: Have you written or would you consider writing an autobiography?
Q2: Would you opt for brain preservation if you thought it was feasible?
some thoughts on gpt-5.3-codex and opus-4.6
Nailed quite a few aspects of actual modern office spaces. Looks like they’re all on Teams calls.

He looks like a vampiric gerbil.
Fully agree. There was a golden era on Twitter when I was following conversations amongst scientists & engineers and it felt line I’d tapped into a party line at the knowledge frontier. You could sense progress being incremented. That’s mostly missing here.
I’ve seen this on a smaller scale at work. I have a library of Python scripts created over the years to help with file & data analysis. But recently I just use chatGPT to generate them and haven’t bothered to save them knowing I’ll be able to quickly recreate them on the fly.
Super interesting. Looks like there's connections to Singular Learning Theory.
AI will have a "thermodynamics moment" where we go from making steam engines to understanding steam engines (and then making much better steam engines)
The US govt should be involved. But that aside (since we are currently withdrawing from everything), this is basically what I mean when I say the intelligence question is a distraction.

Bluesky doesn’t really shine yet as a place to discover papers, especially at the intersection of biology and ML. To help a little, I’m going to start sharing papers I find interesting. To kick things off, here’s one from @petar-v.bsky.social and colleagues at DeepMind

Quite terrifying to see the extreme end of Projection 2025 being discussed for real by the elite right. Steve Bannon’s nutty, evangelical “renewal from chaos and destruction”.
Reposting this recent piece on gatekeeping in cold fusion, written with the physicists Jonah Messinger and Florian Metzler – they are involved in some of the most interesting current work, including an ARPA-E funded project based at MIT. #sts #philtech #philsci #HPS
Why is this whacky? Anthropic are trying to bake responsible values and behaviour into their model in an open and transparent way. 100s of millions of people interact with these models every day - their behaviour has real world consequences (ref Grok).
there's a cottage industry for these types of videos that can now or in the near future be replaced by genAI with much less time and effort. the price is that no actual beautification will have been performed in the world. (i've heard they do this for free and more than make it up on ad revenue.)
I had intended to post something about this new Google DeepMind paper that appeared yesterday in Nature, but the press coverage has added to what there is to say. So this is a long 🧵

one thing that's crazy about Claude code is I'm realizing I can basically finally do all the large-scale econ papers I thought about in grad school but which seemed like would require ten lifetimes of coding to actually execute; maybe theory is fun again?
Solving the "data gap" in robotics by just collecting a lot of robot data
On the metro absolutely floored and amazed by a woman speaking Norwegian, English and an African language interchangeably with zero pauses
Like she uses whatever words and phrases best fit what she's trying to convey and she's speaking SO fast
Incredible
Screenshot of tweet from Huberman that reads: “The other is that dog breeds w/different shaped heads are predictive of their demeanor and intelligence. And while I don’t! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”
In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:
X was effervescent, I miss it - but eventually the grimness drowned it out; an infinite-scroll snuff movie.
We wete too shell shocked with our new born to make a complaint - but of course we ignored her advice.
I remember after the birth of our first child, 20 years ago, the health care visitor advised us against the MMR.
Arguably more significant than defections, internal party politics and the Beckhams…
In 2024 there were around 3,600 suspected cases of measles.
We need to challenge the nonsense spread by anti vaxxers and ensure children are protected.

🧵1/12 What if the DMN, limbic system, hippocampus, neural oscillations, gradients, dementia syndromes, mixed pathology, and aphantasia all fall out of the same generative brain computation? 🤯#endalz

A wacky chart of female height by country, with the Y axis starting just below 5 feet. Women are shown on the bar chart as tiny if their height reaches only 5 feet
It's a great moment whenever I do a dataviz talk, show this slide, point to the tiny woman on the right, and say 'That's me.'
this is honestly a very good metaphor
Articulates so well what I’ve subconsciously felt reading and listening to so much Trump commentary.
Now I can’t unsee it: Evan Davis just now discussing Trump “telling off happless Europeans at Davos” on BBC Radio 4 PM.
