So today we'll be talking about quantum machine learning. You may recall I had an episode on quantum software engineering and there I talked about the complimentary strength of quantum and classical systems and one example of uh combination of quantum and classical systems are…
you know what? I want to get a piece of work done. I set off my swarms and, you know, I'll maybe have 100 agents go off and perform a task and come back to me. And then Madison scolds me for what my token bill is going to be. But but the reality is, you're going to you're going…
Quick experiment. I'm going to play a short musical idea. Don't judge whether it's good or bad, just ask yourself this question. Where do you think it came from? Okay, was that something that was composed? In other words, I wrote that years ago. Was it something that improvised?…
You're going to talk a bit about ITS. What what is ITS, and you know, where's it come from? >> Right. I'd like to explain how ITS came to be. Uh we can go kind of back to the late '50s with John McCarthy then at MIT. He kind of invented or uh uh pioneered the concepts of…
The largest AI models today can have over a trillion parameters, which would take something like two terabytes of memory to store. But the largest GPU on the market holds about 288GB, which is nowhere near enough to store these huge frontier models. So how are we running these…
Okay, so Legree, would you rather use an IDE or a CLI? Yes. That's not even an answer. It's an honest one. I don't think there's any developers or engineers who only use one. That's fair and that's exactly why we wanted to do this video so that you can learn the differences…
When ITS finished, what happened next? >> Right. So, at that point, ITS was shut down forever at my MIT. But, the files were still available from their FTP site, mostly for for the original users to find their old files. But, someone picked up and kind of scraped all the files…
What are we going to be looking at then today? >> Uh quantum simulation using quantum computers for simulating nature. The general idea is that quantum computers, much like classical computers, they're actually universal machines. So, we can ask them any question in principle.…
How much can you reliably just hand over and forget about? There are instances where it has to come to you for permission. So if it keeps coming back to you asking for permissions or asking for more clarifications, then you're not truly delegated. All that and more on this…
It appears that hackers are infecting email applications. Panelists, I have one very important question for you. Can I use this as an excuse to not respond to my boss? Respond to your boss. But definitely just take a little bit of time to it before you do. Only don't respond if…
Are you someone Sean who writes everything with AI? >> Absolutely not. >> Okay. If you were, it's about to get much easier to detect that you haven't been doing your own work. >> Uh okay. >> Um the EU has passed laws that AI companies are going to have to start watermarking…
So today I'd like to talk about time. What time is it and how does a computer know that? My day job I'm high performance computing and high performance computing when you're trying to like measure is something faster than something else you want to know what time it is so that…
It's so it's been a while Rob, there's been a lot happening. >> Yeah, it's been a crazy year this month. >> I'll ask you a simple question before we get started on today's. Have you gone native yet? >> I don't know what that means. I mean I kind of already was, right? I've been…
You've heard it in every AI governance conversation. Someone raises a concern about an AI making a high stakes decision and someone else says, don't worry, we have a human in the loop and the room relaxes. I wanna ask you something. When we say a human reviewed it, what we…
If you're young and you're trying to figure out what to do with your career right now, you're probably hearing this. AI is going to take your job. And even if you aren't so young, you're probably hearing the same thing loudly from everyone. And the honest response to that is,…
Just recently, I was talking to a software engineer and made conversation. He stops to check his phone, approve a code change and continue talking. It turns out he had multiple agents running in the background for all of the different roles that you would typically have on a…
Thank you for coming on to compute files, Sydney. We haven't seen you for a little while. You came on last year, didn't you, when when I was over in the States. >> Yeah. >> We're going to be talking a little bit about some shenanigans that a certain big tech AI firm have been…
Last week, Bun, the all-in-one JavaScript toolkit that was acquired by Anthropic late last year, announced that they spent the equivalent of $165,000 running 64 parallel Cloud agents to refactor their entire codebase from Zig to Rust in just 11 days. Usually, a full rewrite to…
Last week, Chinese AI lab Moonshot dropped Kimi K3, a massive open-source monster that instantly parameter mogged every other open model in existence. And not just that, it has OpenAI and Anthropic terrified because its trust-me-bro benchmark performance is on par with, and in…
Two years ago, Mira Murati did something we've all fantasized about. She woke up, decided she'd had enough of her boss, and quit her job as CTO of OpenAI with no backup plan and nothing but a vague desire to create time and space for her own exploration. If you or I did that,…
In 2024, Apple and OpenAI got married in a shotgun wedding on stage at WWDC. Tim Cook put ChatGPT inside the iPhone while Sam Altman watched from the audience. They were the unambiguously gay duo, and together they thought they could rebrand artificial intelligence to Apple…
As if last year hasn't been hard enough on the hodlers, last week what used to be the safest way to store Bitcoin turned out to be the fastest way to lose it when Coldcard, a security-obsessed air-gapped Bitcoin hardware wallet, was hacked. The bad news is that a lot of people…
For the last 5 years, cybersecurity experts have been warning us that hackers are going to start using AI to automate attacks. So naturally, we spent billions of dollars to make the AI better and less dependent on hackers. But this week, in a turn of events that nobody could…
A few days ago, Anthropic released Claude Opus 5, its fourth frontier model in eight weeks, which means Anthropic now slops out new models faster than JavaScript developers slop out new frameworks. In May, we got Opus 4.8, in June, we got Fable, then we lost Fable, then we got…
Last week, Google DeepMind released Gemini Robotics too, a crazy new AI model that can control a humanoid robot's entire body. In this demo video, they make robots walk, crouch, tie knots, screw in light bulbs, and even team up with other robots to clean up a room. On top of…
On Monday, the company that spent the last year starving Llama, poaching researchers with nine figure Zuck bucks, and locking its new models behind a Facebook auth page, just released a free and open source model under the Apache 2.0 license. It's called Muse Glimmer, a name I…
Right now, as you drive to Taco Bell to put some Diablo dusted chicken nuggets on your payment plan, a small black camera bolted to a pole is taking a picture of your license plate, running it through an on-device neural network, and uploading the results to a nationwide…
For years now, every developer has had to put up with hearing about how AI is going to make them obsolete and steal the food they've been putting on their family. But, besides the occasional identity crisis, I feel like most of us are actually doing pretty well. Sadly, our…
Yesterday, OpenAI took a page out of the Anthropic playbook and announced to every journalist on Earth that their next AI model is super duper scary and dangerous. And because Sam Altman cares about your safety more than anything, he decided to hit the pause button on frontier…
It seems like every week now we're seeing security incidents happening that would have made mainstream news just a few years ago. The big ones lately have been the North Korean hackers who Trojan horse tapped the JavaScript ecosystem, the OpenAI model that committed a felony to…
