just found out about this ... installing now!
Matt Webb 🌸🌼🌸@genmon.fyi · last yr.Reminder that last year I made an iPhone app that always points at the centre of the Milky Way It peaked at 87 in the US App Store free apps chart (Travel category) haha Here’s what Ars Technica said about it arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024...
"...sensible living with risky systems means keeping the controversies alive, listening to the public, and recognizing the essentially political nature of risk assessment. Ultimately, the issue is not risk, but power; the power to impose risks on the many for the benefit of the few." -Charles Perrow
Fresh posters; you know what that means. THINGS ARE IN THE WORKS. (I don't put them up unless there's a reason.) Sign up for my email list for first notice of what's up. Or keep your eyes on the streets, pull a tab, and take the ride. It's gonna be a wild year! eepurl.com/gl5B5D
actually useful guidance for networking when you're trying to make something new happen. "If someone is trying to figure out what to do with their life, and they’re meeting with 1-2 interesting strangers per day, then ... I’m inclined to bet on them" usefulfictions.substack.com/p/how-to-inc...

Just experienced Lennox Mutual by @candlehouse.bsky.social for the first time...really cool over-the-phone immersive experience. I will be signing-up again! www.candlehousecollective.com/tickets/lenn...

The progenitor of the "king" idea also created a flawed, strange, but very interesting networking OS called Urbit. This is an awesome critique from of Urbit from a few years ago that strikes directly at the fascism of today. distributedweb.care/posts/who-ow...

Inspired by @grantslatton.bsky.social 's musings, I've been experimenting with using an LLM to manage narrative states using a memory graph: grantslatton.com/llm-memory
LLM Memory
Some thoughts on implementations

"...LLMs don’t get better over time the way a human would. The lack of continual learning is a huge huge problem. The LLM baseline at many tasks might be higher than an average human's. But there’s no way to give a model high level feedback." www.dwarkesh.com/p/timelines-...
Why I don’t think AGI is right around the corner
Continual learning is a huge bottleneck

Lately I've been experimenting with the "Reasoning Without Observation" agent prompting technique- lets language models plan reasoning steps before calling tools by providing Mad Libs-like blanks to fill...makes toolchains faster and more robust. arxiv.org/abs/2305.18323
ReWOO: Decoupling Reasoning from Observations for Efficient Augmented Language Models
Augmented Language Models (ALMs) blend the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) with tools that allow for knowledge retrieval and action execution. Existing ALM systems trigger LLM t...
