https://ia.samaltman.com/ “The Intelligence Age” tl;dr sam thinks the future is going to be cool
https://team.doubao.com/en/special/seed-music - people working on audio models, I like to see it! This Chinese team have a decent-looking one with various ways to control it.
https://github.blog/news-insights/product-news/openai-o1-in-github-copilot/ - o1 is, predictably, cool for slightly more complex tasks.
https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2024/09/11/bringing-gen-ai-to-video-adobe-firefly-video-model-coming-soon - Firefly video is looking cool, great for B-roll I guess, or realistically pre-viz.

https://blog.eleuther.ai/mutransfer/ - This post is pretty good. It goes into the details of mutransfer as the title suggests. They have a really nice nano GPT implementation that shows the changes in action. I think this is something that should hopefully be picked up by everyone going forward.
https://osf.io/preprints/osf/mtgn7 - “Why Is Anything Conscious?” - Fun to skim, I liked the ’From Rocks To Einstein” section but skipped a lot of the formalisms and silliness.
