"Personalizing Your 'Burrito': A Writer's Reflection"

Jan 30, 2024 - 11:21amSummary: The author contemplates the process of converting an audio note into a transcript, then summarizing it on their "burrito" page. They express a desire to adjust the summarization voice to better represent themselves on the page. Recognizing that this feature may not have widespread appeal, the author nonetheless sees value in providing users with controls to personalize their "burrito." The concept of allowing users to fine-tune their experience is seen as an intriguing possibility.

Transcript: Thinking about the pipeline of audio note to transcript to summarization onto my burrito. At the point of summarization, I'd love to be able to tune the voice of that thing to better represent me on my burrito page. Yeah, I don't know how many other people would want this, and it might be a place to put filters or this kind of thing, but I can feel that place, exposing controls to people to help them tune their burrito is an interesting affordance.

The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.

I've always been drawn to the peculiar and unexplored, which makes me wonder if I can pepper my writing with a bit of the offbeat—things that don't quite fit the mold. Question is, can I make it work? Ditching the third-person narrative and opting for a chat with you in the first person could make my stories feel more intimate, more like we're in this together. And hey, isn't that what storytelling's all about? Let's find out.

The speaker is considering the research question of how to achieve distributed compute, particularly the need for parallelism in executing pipelines and AI agents. They question the potential for building a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) that allows for agents to dynamically contribute to it and execute in parallel, emphasizing the need for pipeline development to accommodate this level of complexity. The discussion also touches on the scalability and parallel execution potential of the mixture of experts model, such as GPT-4, and the potential for hierarchical or vector space implementation. The speaker is keen on exploring the level of parallelism achievable through mixture of experts but acknowledges the limited understanding of its full capabilities at this point. They also express curiosity about fine-tuning experts for personal data. The speaker is discussing the data they are generating and the value of the training data for their system, particularly emphasizing the importance of transforming the data to suit their context and actions. They mention meditating and recording their thoughts, which they intend to transform into a bullet point list using an AI model after running it through a pipeline. The individual also discusses making their data publicly accessible and considering using GPT (possibly GPT-3) to post summaries of their thoughts on Twitter. They also ponder the potential of using machine learning models to create a personal Google-like system for individual data. The text discusses using data chunking as a method for generating backlinks and implementing PageRank in an agent system. It mentions steep space models and the continuous updating of internal state during training. It also compares the level of context in transformer models and discusses the idea of transformer as a compression of knowledge in a language. The speaker expresses interest in understanding the concept of decay in relation to memory and its impact on the storage and retrieval of information. They draw parallels between the processing of information in their mind and the functioning of a transformer model, with the long-term memory being likened to a transformer and short-term memory to online processing. They speculate on the potential of augmenting the transformer model with synthetic training data to improve long-term context retention and recall. Additionally, they mention a desire to leverage a state space model to compile a list of movies recommended by friends and contemplate the symbiotic relationship between technology and human sensory inputs in the future. In this passage, the speaker reflects on the relationship between humans and computers, suggesting that a form of symbiosis already exists between the two. They acknowledge the reliance on technology and the interconnectedness of biological and computational intelligence, viewing them as mutually beneficial and likening the relationship to symbiosis in nature. They express a preference for living at the juxtaposition of humans and computers, while acknowledging the potential challenges and the need to address potential risks. Additionally, they mention that their thoughts on this topic have been influenced by their experiences with psychedelics. The speaker discusses the potential increase in computing power over the next five years, mentioning the impact of Moore's Law and advancements in lithography and semiconductors. They refer to the semiconductor roadmap up to 2034, highlighting the shift towards smaller measurements, such as angstroms, for increased transistor density. They emphasize that the nanometer measurements are based on nomenclature rather than actual transistor size, and the challenges in increasing density due to size limitations and cost constraints. The conversation touches on different companies' approaches to transistor density and the role of ASML in pushing lithography boundaries, before concluding with a reference to the high cost and potential decline in revenue for semiconductor production. The speaker discusses the importance of semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. and China's significant focus in this area. They mention watching videos and reading sub stacks related to semiconductor technology, specifically referencing industry analysts and experts in the field. The speaker expresses enthusiasm for staying updated on developments and offers to share information with the listener. The conversation concludes with a friendly farewell and the possibility of future discussions.

Your burritos are a digital platform that allows you to upload multimedia files to the web via an iOS shortcut. Participants of the experiment will have a personal webpage that recommends similar content they or others have uploaded, fostering a sense of community. There's a collaborative aspect for developers, with APIs available and the potential for collective improvement of the Next.js app. Keep in mind that the platform, especially for video uploads (currently capped at 100MB), is a work in progress and feedback is encouraged to refine the experience. The speaker instructs on how to use a digital tool, explaining that it can load various types of content. Users can add to the tool by accessing a shortcut through three dots, and their content should appear in the share sheet for photos, videos, audio notes, and text—though text support is limited at this stage. There's a file size limitation of 100 megabytes, which generally affects photos and audio. The speaker expresses gratitude for the willingness to participate and encourages feedback and engagement at any level, emphasizing a desire to build something beneficial for the group.
