exceptional news! Gooo @rookisaacman

I've come to a conclusion about how academic papers should be written. In my view, there are two main kinds: 1. Conference-style papers - short and focused. Think of them as a minimum viable product for ideas. They should include only the essential components needed to make your…


reward is "forward progress"

Adaptable Intelligence. Multiple possible paths to an objective.



End-of-day thought: it's less beautiful when it's not doing what it's supposed to do.

It's beautiful to watch a robot learn from experience. You leave it alone and it keeps improving, quietly doing its own thing. Then you give it eyes, toss it a cube, and it reacts, alive in its own way. Like having a little mechanical pet with personality.

"I'm just chillin'. Some folks say I look like a @cybertruck, but that's not true. I was created first. If anything, I'm closer to a BD-1."

Thrilled to have hosted Dr. Jonathan Hurst from @agilityrobotics at @NASAJPL! Fantastic discussions and questions from the audience. @agilityrobotics is definitely one of my favorite companies, I believe they're approaching robotics the right way.

I totally agree!

Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun offers a critical take on the humanoid robot boom. Speaking at MIT, LeCun claimed the "big secret" of the industry is that current companies "have no idea" how to make their robots "smart enough to be generally useful." He argues that while…

Software systems are perhaps the most intricate and complex of man's handiworks.


Saw this while driving through Altadena today, I almost followed them just to find out who they are 😂 I regret I didn't do it lol. If you know who they are, DM me.

Check out my friend’s blog post!! It’s cool! And has awesome drawings, too!

I love this quote!

Learning is the derivative of knowledge.



I need an AI that observes my work, documents what I try, records the results, and organizes everything in reports…like a self-writing lab notebook that I can read at the end of the day.


I don't understand why we need to be at competition with another nation. Why can't we pursue space exploration simply for its beauty, curiosity, and the joy of understanding? Maybe I'm delusional, but I want a world where we all work together toward greater goals.

We are in a race against China so we need the best companies to operate at a speed that gets us to the Moon FIRST. SpaceX has the contract to build the HLS which will get U.S. astronauts there on Artemis III. But, competition and innovation are the keys to our dominance in…



so well said!

@karpathy I think it would be good to distinguish RL as a problem from the algorithms that people use to address RL problems. This would allow us to discuss if the problem is with the algorithms, or if the problem is with posing a problem as an RL problem. 1/x



JPL is a special place. It's very sad to see so many people leaving tomorrow - especially people who have devoted their lives to this institution and its mission. People come to JPL because they believe in a vision. JPL's vision is to explore space in pursuit of scientific…

JPL is planning another round of layoffs tomorrow, affecting 550 employees, about 11% of its workforce. (It is not, the message notes, related to the ongoing government shutdown.) jpl.nasa.gov/news/jpl-workf…
