Writing a GPT-4 script to check Wikipedia for the first unused acronym
Curious what the first ‘unused’ alphabetic acronym is, I have GPT-4 write a script to check English Wikipedia. After three bugs, the first unused one turns out as of 2023-09-29 to be the three-letter acronym ‘CQK’, with another 2.6k TLA unused, and 393k four-letter acronyms unused. Exploratory analysis suggests…

AI as Normal Technology
We articulate a vision of artificial intelligence (AI) as normal technology . To view AI as normal is not to understate its impact—even transformative, general-purpose technologies such as electricity and the internet are “normal” in our conception. But it is in contrast to both utopian and dystopian visions of the…

Using genetic algorithms to find Starcraft 2 build orders
UPDATE: Just to make this explicitly clear: I did not write this program. The fourth sentence makes this fairly clear, but some comments indicate that some people are a bit lazy :). I also added a video of the rush to the bottom.

How to scale your model: A systems view of LLMs on TPUs
Training LLMs often feels like alchemy, but understanding and optimizing the performance of your models doesn't have to. This book aims to demystify the science of scaling language models: how TPUs (and GPUs) work and how they communicate with each other, how LLMs run on real hardware, and how to parallelize your…

A conversation with Sussman on AI and asynchronous programming
A couple weeks ago I made it to the FSF's 30th anniversary party. It was a blast in many ways, and a good generator of many fond memories, but I won't go into depth of them here. One particularly exciting thing that happened for me though was I got to meet Gerald Sussman (of SICP !) The conversation has greatly…
