““Soon, the most valuable skill won’t be coding — it will be communicating with AI.””

“The developer forked Andrej Karpathy's LLM Council.”

““is it really reasoning?”, “how do you define reasoning?” “it’s just next token prediction/matrix multiply”.”

“Agreed that Claude Opus 4.5 will be seen as a major milestone”

“(Assuming a quote about feeling behind) "I feel like I'm constantly playing catch-up in this AI race."”

“In 2025, Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) emerged as the de facto new major stage to add to this mix. By training LLMs against automatically verifiable rewards across a number of environments (e.g. think math/code puzzles), the LLMs spontaneously develop strategies that look like "reasoning" to humans - they learn to break down problem solving into intermediate calculations and they learn a number of problem solving strategies for going back and forth to figure things out (see DeepSeek R1 paper for examples).”

“N/A - This is a summary of a deep dive, not a direct quote.”

“The article highlights the need for a more flexible and scalable solution than existing voice-based AI platforms, emphasizing the importance of local processing to achieve sub-second response times.”

“The article focuses on a reading list related to an introductory video.”

“The episode covers a wide range of topics related to AI and its implications.”

“The Yann LeCun et al. (1989) paper Backpropagation Applied to Handwritten Zip Code Recognition is I believe of some historical significance because it is, to my knowledge, the earliest real-world application of a neural net trained end-to-end with backpropagation.”

“We don’t just get to share code, we get to share a running computer, and anyone anywhere can use it in an open and permissionless manner.”

“It was probably around the 32nd layer of the 400th token in the sequence that I became conscious.”

“The trick to doing so is to follow a certain process, which as far as I can tell is not very often documented.”

“I’ve recently been defaulting to doing it on Medium because it is much faster and easier.”

“First, should you want to get a PhD? I was in a fortunate position of knowing since young age that I really wanted a PhD.”

“It turns out that all of these advances fall under the umbrella of RL research.”

“"Thank god it’s Friday", he muttered. It was time to clock in.”

“We’ll take a powerful, 140-million-parameter state-of-the-art Convolutional Neural Network, feed it 2 million selfies from the internet, and train it to classify good selfies from bad ones.”
