After ChatGPT, MultiModal LLMs?

After ChatGPT, the future belongs to multimodal LLMs. What’s even better? Open-sourcing.

There're 3 major bottlenecks for robotics: data, data, data.

Amazon ARMBench completely flew under the radar, but I believe is one of the most exciting data releases in robotics:

Many of you ask, why can LLM ever be superhuman if it’s trained on human data?

The reason is simple. It’s far easier to judge whether a work is good or not, than to create the work yourself.

For every new iPhone, we expect longer battery life.

Context length is the new battery for LLMs. For every new GPT, there will be more, until context becomes infinite.

In-context retrieval is not new and can be deeply integrated with attention, instead of embedding search. pic.twitter.com/VET1vQ74QA

An enforced silence cannot solve India’s problems The government’s deep-rooted disdain for democracy and democratic accountability is disturbing ....... Faced with a determined Opposition, the Narendra Modi government resorted to unprecedented measures — expunging speeches, preventing discussion, attacking Members of Parliament and, finally, disqualifying a Congress Member of Parliament at lightning speed. As a result, the Budget of 45 lakh crore of rupees of people’s money was passed without any debate. In fact, the Prime Minister was busy inaugurating projects in his constituency with widespread media coverage when the Finance Bill was rammed through the Lok Sabha.

Mailchimp. The bootstrapped legend.

Acquired by financial software giant Intuit for $12,000,000,000.

That's tres comas. $12 billion.

How did Mailchimp pull this off?

Here's the story. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/D6FtGXFABP
— Andrew Gazdecki (@agazdecki) April 11, 2023

Mailchimp has evolved over the years, expanding its offerings to include e-commerce tools and website building capabilities.

And with $800 million in annual revenue at the time of its acquisition by Intuit, it's clear that they're doing something right. pic.twitter.com/HkwsYVpDNJ
— Andrew Gazdecki (@agazdecki) April 11, 2023

12B for an 800M revenue and growing company is not even 20X. Cheap.
— Paramendra Kumar Bhagat (@paramendra) April 11, 2023

Fun fact.

This is my favorite feature.

Every newsletter I sent I'm sweating.

The lesson? Mailchimp gets their customer. pic.twitter.com/Ij8SNnDm0s

America prints money. It is a gross misuse of the global currency status. But then it is a hugely unequal society. The inequality is a structure of steel. The super duper rich vacuumed the pandemic stimulus money. They are super rich, but also super greedy.
— Paramendra Kumar Bhagat (@paramendra) April 11, 2023

They want that money to grow. They put it in the banks. And buy the safest investments. Inflation is too much money chasing too few products and services. Except the super-rich vacuumed all that money. But then they did pump it all into the system.
— Paramendra Kumar Bhagat (@paramendra) April 11, 2023

The global economy has an immense capacity to absorb US dollars. A country that printed several trillion dollars for the pandemic stimulus would have been wise to spend 50B out of it to vaccinate the world and get the global economy back on track. It didn't. #inflation
— Paramendra Kumar Bhagat (@paramendra) April 11, 2023

All that vacuumed and parked money needing to grow even more has seriously distorted the markets. The solution applied again has been printing more money. That is a recipe for a hangover.

Competition from a G17 currency might not be a bad idea and would give the US dollar some much-needed discipline. https://t.co/8tokZObX7m
