We Live in an Emergent Compute World

We are moving from a world of deterministic computing (where everything is scripted) to a world of emergent computing (where we discover the capabilities of systems)—none of us are really ready

I’ve been thinking a lot about how models are emergent. They surprise us. I’ll be showing a new emergent prompting technique tomorrow. And today I have an extra video about an emergent capability transformer architectures have—the ability to learn from payments as sequences with semantic meaning. This has profound implications for a wide range of industries, because it strongly implies that a lot more of the world than we thought is learnable—and no one really expected that.

These models have emergent capabilities that continue to surprise us.
