The Ferrari Luce is quickly becoming the most controversial Ferrari ever. Why? "The problem is that we are living in an era where the nostalgic approach is very high. Everybody's looking at the past, not the future..." - Ferrari Chief Designer Flavio Manzoni "It's not that we're taking away something, but we're adding a new choice, which in some dimensions is unambiguously better. And in other dimensions you will understand them in terms of what is lacking. Perhaps it was reckless of us to do that, knowing that we will in some people's eyes be destined for failure. But I think we also love these absurd challenges..." - Jony Ive Full answer here on HUGE* Conversations:

In my new interview with Andy Weir, he clarifies his position on "social commentary": ANDY: “I’m not trying to change society and I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion of anything. I firmly consider myself just an entertainer. I'm just writing stories to entertain. I'm not trying to set your opinion or change your mind on anything. When you're done with one of my books, I want you to put it back on the shelf and say, "That was cool. I enjoyed reading that..." "I'm not here to solve a pessimism epidemic. All I can do is just be me. I'm not pessimistic. I think humans are really awesome. I think technology is really awesome because technology is then put into the hands of humans who are awesome." "People are afraid of AI, but AI can do things no human can. I'm like, "So can a forklift." If I give you a hammer, you could build a house or you could murder someone. There's nothing about the hammer that does it. And most people use hammers to build houses." "So I'm not afraid of technology because I'm not afraid of my fellow humanity. I'm optimistic that way."

There's a telescope at the bottom of the ocean. Nearly 3500 meters under the sea off the coast of Sicily sits 51 strings holding 18 spheres each. They sway in the pitch black water and wait for signals from the universe. Scientists have been building this mysterious observatory since 2015, and in February of 2023 they finally saw something….

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis on "leaving AI in the lab for longer” (full question + answer in the video as I've seen him misquoted). Here's what he said: "For me, the best use case of AI was to improve human health and accelerate scientific discovery..." "Given how important AGI is and how transformative a technology is, maybe the most transformative one in human history, I thought it would be best to approach the sort of latter stages of building it, which we're in now, using the scientific method, very carefully, very precisely, very thoughtfully, and rigorously with all the best scientists, in my ideal world, collaborating on in CERN-like effort, on making sure each step we understood each step each as we got to the final goal of, of building AGI.... "While we're building AGI in this careful scientific way, humanity could benefit from the proceeds of that, like cures for cancer, or maybe new energy sources or new materials… “Looking at this from 20, 30 years ago when I started out on all of this, that would have been the ideal way for it to play out, in my opinion. “Now, it didn't happen like that because technology's unpredictable and in fact, it turns out that things like language were a lot easier than we were all expecting… “We were sort of playing around with that, so were the other leading labs, but of course with ChatGPT and fair play to OpenAI, they scaled it and then they put it out there. “And I think even they say it was kind of a research experiment. They didn't realize it would go so viral. And I think none of us did and we had sort of fairly equivalent systems at the time… “Now, the downside of it is, we're in this sort of ferocious commercial pressure race that everyone's sort of locked into currently. “And then on top of that, there's geopolitical issues like the US-China race and so on. So there's sort of multiple levels of pressure to sort of move fast. So the benefit of that, of course, you get faster progress, obviously. The progress is just at lightning speed these days. So that's good for all the good use cases. The second benefit is that everybody, all of the viewers out there, everyone, you're all getting to use the most cutting edge AI technology, perhaps only three to six months behind what is actually in the labs. So that's kind of mind blowing. “It's also great because I think it gives everyone a feeling for, it's democratizing AI. It's giving everyone a feeling for what it's like to interact with cutting edge AI and what it can do and what it can't do… “So I think there's positives and negatives about the way it's gone. It's not the way I dreamed about years ago where we would be sort of contemplating this philosophically and carefully considering each next step. We're not in that world. And I'm, although I'm a scientist first and foremost, I'm also a pragmatic engineer. So, we have to deal with the world as we find it and make the best of that. And we try to do that by advancing the frontier, but also trying to be as responsible as we can with doing that as we deploy these, you know, very powerful technologies, like Gemini and Alphafold.”

In prep for my interview with Sam Altman, I reached out NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang for a question. Here's what he asked: "Fact is what is. Truth is what it means. Facts are objective. Truths are personal – i.e., depends on perspective, culture, values, beliefs, context. One AI can learn and know the facts. How does one AI know the truth for everyone, in every country, and every background?" Here's the start of Sam's answer (more in the full interview):

The Einstein Test doesn't feel too far away. AI isn't just mimicking human knowledge. It's obvious when you look at AlphaZero. **By creating its own dataset through self-play (not human moves!)** AlphaZero went from: - Breakfast time: Playing chess randomly - Lunch time: Competing with Demis - Dinner time: Better than the world champion (and interesting new moves) Here’s Demis Hassabis explaining it in our HUGE* Conversation and why we need this in new models:

Why make the Ferrari Luce? In 2011, the then-CEO of Ferrari said "you will never see a Ferrari electric." But when he said that, the most popular electric car was the Nissan Leaf. Electric cars as a total share of cars in the world was a rounding error. Today, 25% of new vehicles sold globally are electric cars. In the US it's just 10%, but in China it's over 50% and growing fast. I asked Jony Ive and Ferrari Chief Designer Flavio Manzoni about that...
