My thoughts on China, export controls and two possible futures https://t.co/LZAANEcZJW

So Sonnet is trained with RL (not just muh Claude Constitution from philosopher mommy Amanda Askell), took ≈$30-50M (MoE?), no Opus distill, o1 is ≈ R1…
yep, Dario is terrified. The Whale had denied him the option of comfortable bullshitting, controlling the narrative.

@ernestoojeda High Flyer would've been smart to short certain stocks prior to the release of DeepSeek R1.

Do furries buy their furry costumes from furry-owned businesses, or is it just some company in the rust belt that’s raking in all that money?

I'll sell you my iPhone for $5,000. It has TikTok installed on it along with a few million $KIN tokens.

@ernestoojeda Offering a loss leader is the name of the game. If you’re a high school or college student and DeepSeek provides a much better free model than any of the models available on ChatGPT’s free tier for your homework, why wouldn’t you switch to DeepSeek? Literally zero switching costs.

@ernestoojeda Let's fucking bet on this.

Maybe. I can see it: Hamas introduces Palestine coin ($GAZA), slaps an antisemitic mascot (Happy Merchant + Pepe), then boosts the meme on TG, 4Chan, Reddit, driving its value to $1 ($1B market cap). The proceeds fund attacks, etc.

Boom! https://subconscious.substack.com/p/create-good-problems-to-have

So, for 2.8M video tokens, the total byte size would be:

2,800,000 tokens * 4 bytes/token (32-bit float) = 11,200,000 bytes

That's like 11MB. Noice. And once Sora-like models get good I can decompress it back to full size, play with temp, and always get a new variation of the same movie? 🤨

work: identity, security, domainless.

Probably not. We would just switch to lattice-based crypto or some other   system that is post-quantum. Unless it proves P = NP. Then it's all fucked.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Search. Algolia-level search. I hate recalling an old cast and then not being able to find it.

Food

Super Veggie, but with kimchi, paprika, and a few other twists

MP3 made all your favorite songs fit in your pocket compared to CD, and now crypto is doing the same thing for cash, gold and other assets that Boomers and Gen X value(d).

Assume that anything you’ve done online during the last 10-15 years has been captured and recorded on a massive database by a nation state, and one day it will all be read.

Go to sleep hungry. Don’t drink water 3-4 hours prior to bed. Also, go to bed half an hour before your ideal bedtime. And make sure the room is well ventilated so CO2 levels don’t build up 🙌
