In @Nature: making a traversable wormhole with a quantum computer. A qubit teleported across our Sycamore processor exhibits the dynamics expected from crossing a traversable wormhole, opening up possibilities to test quantum gravity theories. #GoogleAI https://t.co/I8sofabj8r https://t.co/lgedcmDVm7

During my PhD days, I was often asked in family gatherings what is this 'quantum gravity' thing that I work on. I came up with an analogy which worked really well with my mostly-IT relatives! This is what I used to say. 1/n

Bryan Johnson sold his company to PayPal for $800 million in 2013. Since then, he's been investing millions to reduce aging. In 2021, he reduced his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in 7 months (World Record) Here’s a breakdown of his “Blueprint” and my own experience with it: 🧵 https://t.co/igFya5JLiz

Studying Machine Learning has become a lot easier these 4 new AI tools: 1. Elicit to find research (https://t.co/zJMTz0XUSz) 2. ExplainPaper to understand (https://t.co/yHePclmY3e) 3. Summari for articles (https://t.co/CIPYRurC7b) 4. Spaces for demos (https://t.co/iZJFnC5l1J)

Right, I’m done. 3 months ago, I was tasked with writing an article detailing “20 Transphobic JK Rowling Quotes We’re Done With” After 12 weeks of reading her books, tweets, full essay & finding the context of these “quotes”, I’ve not found a single truly transphobic message🧵

Imagine a circle laid flat on a table, with a little spinner on it that you can flick. The circle is 80% red and 20% yellow, like a yellow pie slice. You flick the spinner. It spins, and slowwwly stops. Where did it land?

nuclear fusion + agi is going to be an awesome future.

In a new article published today in Nature MI @NatMachIntell we solved a differential equation that describes the interaction of neurons and synapses! This equation had no known closed-form solution since the year 1907! This solution is important! 1/n https://t.co/53qU76Ewrq https://t.co/N1FCbrYM1M

🧵 to clarify my views on AGI, timelines, and x-risk. TL;DR: My AGI timelines are short-ish (within two decades with things getting weird soon) and I think x-risk is real, but I think probabilities of doom by AGI instrumentally opting to kill us are greatly exaggerated. 1/
