100% have been perusing your climate change masterpost, and understand you're probably swamped so feel free to delete of course. But if you can find the time, is there any kind of hope to give in fighting climate change now? Can we save ourselves against the oncoming steamroll?

You hang in there too. Thanks for finding the hope among everything else. It feels so bad rn but I have to believe it can change. I hope it can.

Yeah actually I do think there is hope.

Things are going to get rough. Things are going to get worse before they get better, both for the climate and for people living in the US (and for people living in lots and lots of other countries that will be affected by the US election results/the ways the climate will worsen as aa result).

I haven't posted about this yet because I didn't want it to come to this, but now that it has, here's something that people have been quietly saying/research has been showing for months:

-via Reuters, November 6, 2024

Renewables, especially solar, are just too powerful to be stopped. They just too much cheaper and too much better, and that's only going to become more true, not less.

Also, I think (and hope) it's actually inevitable that at some point, we'll get to net negative carbon emissions. I think it's like solar: the technology, cost, and planet all make it feel like an inevitable technological trajectory, the same way solar tech is on an exponential trajectory. (IF WE WORK FOR IT, OBVIOUSLY, but also so, so many people ARE working for it, have dedicated their lives to working for it)

I sure fucking hope that's the case, anyway.

(You can find my masterpost on going net negative on what that actually means here)

It is gonna happen more slowly and shittily than I hoped, but I do think it's going to happen.

And if we can get to net negative emissions in time to save ourselves (which I think we will, the rates of advancement in many of these areas are very impressive), then we'll be able to slowly start to undo and heal lot of the damage.

Hobbies / Scholar

Soft scratching sounds fill the room as she draws pen against paper, leaving steady and precise ink strokes in its wake. When the tip runs dry, Ikora dips it into the small bottle of dark liquid perched in the corner of her desk, metal making the slightest clinking noise when it makes contact with the glass. 

Impractical as it may be, there was something soothing about traditional writing when taking personal notes of her research. Usually, everything could be found in a digitized form available from a database or via their ghosts. But she still believed there was value in practicing good handwriting. 

You never know if something could happen where you would need it, a hard lesson learned after the red war. Lacking access to digital information and hard line connected communications as cabal soldiers trampled the city underfoot taught her that the older ways of technology still had their uses. 

Radio was a main staple until they purged the red legion and got the city networks back up. Information written down and passed through scavenged scraps of paper when they needed to share vital details quietly. She also didn’t have her personal data pad, and telling Ophiuchus every troubled thought or concern was out of the question. Some things were best kept private to a guardian’s own mind. 

Besides, there was something soothing about recording with her own writing, seeing letters brought into reality guided by one’s own hand instead of automated by a screen or keyboard. A different kind of satisfying to have something other than the boring pixel perfect font, Ikora’s work is a flowing script with the minor flaws of her real hand.

It was also a nice way to make use of a calligraphy set gift given to her as a holiday present, being astutely thought to appreciate old historical techniques and hobbies. Ikora even considered the idea of using it to do personally written letters to others closest to her, but part of her wondered who for. She would want to do it for someone who could share her appreciation of an old art. 

Zavala was a pragmatist and likely thought keeping things digitally was more efficient than taking handwritten notes. There’s Chalco, but Chalco seldom sat still enough and it wasn’t an impossibility that anything sent to her post would be waiting a while. Ikora would hope to send a letter to someone who would see it.

Someone who would also send letters the old fashioned way. Ikora finishes off her notes and gives the ink a chance to dry on the page before pulling open a drawer for storing private papers. In it she finds an old piece of hive leather with writing scratched into it by a practiced hand, its strange odor long faded from when it first arrived. Now that’s an idea. Ikora smiles to herself as she rummages around for a fresh piece of paper and checks the small bottle of ink to make sure it remains wet. Pleased with the liquid she dips the calligraphy pen, clink clink clink, and begins to write.

I love how Alex being the super-private, vintage-loving analogue dude that he is makes us all regularly think things like:

"ah. So he knows instagram exists"

"he can use a smartphone???"

"...so he's... aware of googling"

"he actually knows that Lego movies are a thing??"

"he's SEEN clickbait videos [about monster trucks]?"

"the word tik-tok means something more than 'sound the clock makes' to this man???"

"he's watched Ted Talks apparently??"

Like this dude tricked us all into seeing him as this time traveling ethereal poet stuck somewhere between the 1900s and the early 1970s...

and I love it.

I truly cannot tell you how much I actually see him as purely that and how much I'm actually aware of the fact that he needs to know more about the modern world that he exists in than we believe he does.

Navigating the AI Landscape: Lessons from Cohere

Aidan Gomez, Co-Founder and CEO of Cohere, offered a nuanced perspective on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) landscape, highlighting the challenges and opportunities in developing large language models (LLMs). The industry’s slowing progress, characterized by diminishing returns on scaling, is attributed to escalating costs of expert data collection, increased complexity in evaluating nuanced problems, and substantial compute costs.

Cohere’s strategic approach prioritizes advancing language models while ensuring practical applications and ease of use for enterprises. Vertical integration is key to this strategy, enabling the company to provide tailored solutions to clients. The emergence of reasoning models, capable of tackling multi-step problems, is a pivotal focus area for Cohere, underscoring the company’s commitment to innovation.

The delicate balance between broad applicability and domain-specific expertise is a challenge Cohere acknowledges, particularly in the context of growing demands for explainability and transparency in AI decision-making processes. To address diverse enterprise needs, Cohere emphasizes the importance of flexible deployment options, navigating the ongoing debate between cloud and on-premise deployments.

Gomez’s perspective on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is rooted in practicality, viewing it as a continuous process rather than a discrete event. This stance reflects Cohere’s focus on near-term, real-world applications. Regarding market dynamics, Gomez distinguishes between price dumping and commoditization, highlighting the complexities and expertise required to produce cutting-edge models.

The future of AI development, as per Gomez, will be marked by specialized advancements, necessitating more sophisticated evaluation methodologies to overcome current challenges. By emphasizing innovation and practical applications, Cohere positions itself at the forefront of AI development, addressing the intricate needs of the industry.

The greatest limitation to your success is your imagination and thought. Always think positively.

Another limitation to your success is procrastination. Sometimes later never becomes.

In life the step you take today determines your destination tomorrow. Think big and work for it.

Remember great things never come from comfort zones.
