My giant #VCFSW thread. I was in Dallas to attend the Vintage Computer Festival 2024. Last year was great. This year was even better.

Here I am with David Murray, Youtube’s 8-bit guy. Last year, I was pleased to fund the production of the first 1,000 #CommanderX16 computers. /1 Image
The #CommanderX16 project is coming along. David and Kevin gave a presentation about the development of the new audio hardware and a network card that now allows the machine to connect to BBSs. /2 #VCfSW

I had a totally normal (in truth, quite lovely) conversation with Sean @ActionRetro1 about BeBoxes, Haiku and more… /3 #VCFSW Image

1/12: I write about #Hyperwar often. But what is it? General Allen and I defined the concept of "hyperwar," a form of war in which AI revolutionizes the tempo and nature of future warfare; an environment where autonomous systems, AI, swarms, and cyberattacks play pivotal roles.
2/12: We envision future battles where the traditional OODA loop is compressed, as AI-driven systems enable responses in nearly real-time, overshadowing the speed of human decision-making.
3/12: The foundational pillars of hyperwar, as General Allen and I argue, include AI-driven autonomy, state-of-the-art sensors, high-speed communication networks, cyber warfare, AI-enabled data fusion, swarming tactics, and near-real-time prediction and analysis.

🧵 Wu Dao 2.0 is a massive multi-modal neural network that uses about 1.75 trillion parameters.

This makes it about 10X larger than GPT-3.

It was developed in China by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence.

And now it has a "child." /1
"Hua Zhibing, Wu Dao 2.0’s child, is the first Chinese virtual student. She can learn continuously, compose poetry, draw pictures, and will learn to code in the future." /2
"In contrast with GPT-3, Wu Dao 2.0 can learn different tasks over time, not forgetting what it has learned previously. This feature seems to bring AI yet closer to human memory and learning mechanisms." /3

"Should I launch my own startup?" I'm often asked this question. On the one hand, the answer is simple; it's what I've chosen to do my entire career and isn't building a business the coolest thing ever?! But on the other hand, I've also experienced sufficient doses of both /1
the +ves & -ves of entrepreneurship to not be flippant in my response. The answer is very individual and situation dependent and there is no panacea. In many ways, whether to launch a startup could be amongst the most crucial decisions /2
someone makes in their life. Deciding to embark on this journey can test every aspect of your life; your friendships, marriage/partnership, relationships with family, physical & mental well-being, health, ability to withstand repeated failure... really, your sanity. /3

Let me take you on a trip to Murree, Pakistan, a charming hill station at an altitude of 7,500 feet, located in the Himalayan foothills. The town is named after the Virgin Mary. (1/x)
Local legend suggests that Murree is the last resting place of Mary, mother of Jesus. There is a significant and old Church presence here; The Church of the Holy Trinity, established in 1857, and The Convent of Jesus and Mary. (2/x)
@Zaib_Husain’s mother went to boarding school at the convent, my father studied at Lawrence College in Murree and both of us grew up having summer homes here. It was our magical escape during the mid-year holidays… (3/x)

Where does “Himalayan salt” come from? A photo thread. Enroute to Islamabad, Pakistan, I stopped to visit the mines in the Khewra salt range; the second largest salt mine in the world. It was discovered when Alexander the Great came through this region in ~330 BC. (1/x)
At that time, salt was highly valued and was even used as currency by the Phoenicians. Interestingly, Alexander’s favorite warhorse, Bucephalus, is buried a few miles from here. (2/x)
This salt mine served the Mughal Empire, and of course the British operated it during their period of colonial rule. It has been actively mined with relatively modern methods since the 1870s. (3/x)
