George Hotz George Hotz George Hotz 3w • Recently seen on X: "I should have sold when the asset had an inflated valuation." Ask yourself, does money make you a better person? I'm not talking about enough for rent and groceries, I'm talking about having millions in the bank. Every day you look at that money and realize you don't have to work. So maybe you don't. Having a job wouldn't increase the pile much anyway. And maybe you couldn't make what you used to make. Best to preserve your ego and not find out. Now extend this logic to companies. When I see a prerevenue company raise huge rounds, I know it's over for them. Cause no revenue will be enough. They will have to promise bigger and bigger things, they can't ship something reasonable. They are scared to act cause it might not justify their valuation. The company is ruined. Winning the lottery is an awful curse. …more 28 comments 7 reposts Like Comment Repost Send

A good that is fundamentally non scarce! Yet, the same antiquated systems of control are trotted out again.

George Hotz George Hotz George Hotz 8mo • The average VC career is 6 years, but everyone knows it takes 10 years to judge the outcome of a company. Both Cruise and comma.ai started at similar times and have been around about 10 years. comma has been steadily growing revenue and valuation, valued at about $1B now. Cruise peaked at $30B valuation, and is now worth 0. The problem, VCs still think Cruise was a better company. They cashed out their bags at that $30B valuation long before the company ever delivered value to anyone. If you are serious about building a company, don't listen to VCs. You can take their money if you don't give them a board seat or majority shares, but you shouldn't ever take their advice. They are not aligned with you, they are not aligned with long term value creation, they are just there to try to use you to pump their bags. VC will probably disappear in 10 years once everyone catches on to this. …more 42 comments 25 reposts Like Comment Repost Send

Self driving is mostly clowns, but here there's respectable competition with Modular, GGML, PyTorch, and JAX. The bounties span a wide gamut, from ML, to systems, to math, to devops.

George Hotz George Hotz George Hotz 2yr • Edited • Bought a OnePlus Open last week. Bricked it the first day by setting the fastboot partition to B. QDL brick, so 5 minutes to fix with the right software. However, OnePlus no longer makes that software available to customers after the OnePlus 9. I wasn't thrilled about that policy change, and the phone felt more sluggish in Chrome than the Samsung Electronics Z Fold 5, so I thought I'd just return it and get that. But here is where it got unreasonable. Despite having a 15 day return policy, OnePlus will not allow me to return the phone because I was honest about what happened. It will take them 5 minutes to restore this phone to 100% factory, but nope, can't be returned. Do not EVER buy anything from the OnePlus store. If you insist on buying their phones, buy them from Amazon where you have a sane return policy. Hey OnePlus, want to make this right? Two options: 1) Release the software so I can fix my phone. 2) At minimum, accept my return. So sad what's happened to this company. …more 37 comments 5 reposts Like Comment Repost Send

George Hotz George Hotz George Hotz 2yr • Edited • There's a deep disease in American business culture. Between AT&T, Qualcomm, and many others, I have interacted with people where it seems like their job is to waste your time. We are shifting more and more of our supply chain to China, as for most Chinese suppliers we have dealt with it has been a more pleasant experience. It seems like they are eager for business, and despite a language barrier, they are easier to work with. If you have power in a US company, consider how you can fix this. If someone has a fake job, their full time job is making sure they keep that fake job. While it may be a short term hit, long term it's absolutely vital for your company to get rid of these people. Imagine you walked into a McDonalds, and instead of having prices on the wall, you had to have a "sales experience." Oh, you want a McChicken. Okay, let me check.

Price discrimination should be illegal. You can help combat it by sharing prices. Trying to say we can't (we can btw) is like telling employees they can't discuss their salary.

George Hotz George Hotz reposted this Toby Tobkin Toby Tobkin • 3rd+ 3rd+ AI x National Security | Google.org Fellow | Founding Solutions Architect of Google CCAI | Startup Founding Engineer AI x National Security | Google.org Fellow | Founding Solutions Architect of Google CCAI | Startup Founding Engineer 2yr • Follow I attended the COMMA_CON self-driving conference on Saturday, hosted by comma.ai and George Hotz. I've worked exclusively in AI since 2017, and Comma remains the most insightful company I've followed -- and I follow many. For the uninitiated, Comma is one of only two profitable self-driving companies I know of and the only open-source one. I've autopiloted over 50,000 miles using the Comma 2 & 3 on my 2019 Toyota RAV4 and built an app for the system. Tesla is the only other with a shipped consumer product. Here are some of my favorite moments: 1. Greg Hogan presented how he built Comma's new air-cooled AI training cluster for only a couple million dollars. Stunned by the petaflop / $ ratio, I asked him if it was the most cost-efficient training cluster in the world. He wasn't sure, but George Hotz chimed in that it was indeed by a factor of 2x. So, with the cost of AI training such a hot problem to solve, is Greg Hogan a seasoned infrastructure engineer? Nope, he's a full-stack web developer that's also pretty handy with construction. 2. Yassine Yousfi demonstrated a novel use of generative video AI to add large amounts of "edge cases," like objects in the road that aren't common enough to train an end-to-end driving model using real-world data alone. So far, this is the most impressive application of generative video I've seen to date. 3. Jason Young gave a tutorial on how to reverse-engineer the network protocol of a new vehicle in just nine engineer-hours. Automotive network reverse engineering used to be a dark art you'd only see at DEFCON, and now the tooling and process are so refined that non-engineers can do it in narrow cases. Indeed, Jason taught himself Python to do this project. 4. Harald Schäfer presented Comma's first real-world self-navigated full self-drive, an approximately 8-minute drive through San Diego to Taco Bell. Sure, Tesla can do this very well already. But this tech works on a used Corolla and sells for $1500. The car and the device can cost less than Tesla autopilot alone. In summary, I believe Comma's profitability and technological success suggest a few things: - AI training costs may be a mirage caused by industry-wide abandonment of on-prem data center operations. High costs certainly will not stay long, and CAPEX ain't dead. - Solving the "hardest" AI problems today may not require massive funding, explosive growth, or specialized talent. - Hardware may not be hard. However, we have exported much of our hardware talent overseas. I enjoyed talking to the Chinese hardware manufacturers who closely follow this project. - The GPT movement of self-driving may be right around the corner. Same waves. Foundational models, fine-tuning, open-source proliferation, emerging solutions architectures, etc. Finally, this has been an exceptionally well-run event two years in a row, thanks to Alex Matzner's emcee skills. …more Play 18 comments 8 reposts Like Comment Repost Send

We have a neural network library tinygrad capable of running (and training) all modern networks. Our ideal client is someone who needs a net to run faster (or run at all) in an embedded environment. Or perhaps a neural network accelerator chip company that taped out a chip, but forgot to write the software. Deployed Raspberry Pi's and now wish you could run a net? Have a net you can't compile for your accelerator because it uses attention or another fancy feature? Just struggling to ship your net at all? The tiny corp can help! No links in the post, but with Google you'll find all you need. If you have trouble finding us, I doubt you'd be a good client. We are looking for well scoped and specified contracts. …more 8 comments 8 reposts Like Comment Repost Send

George Hotz George Hotz George Hotz 3yr • My fellow GOOG shareholders, I think the time has come. The time has come to shut Waymo down! By Q1 2020, Waymo had already spent $3.5B on R&D (cite: The Information). They are not public, so we can't directly see the spend per year, but Google spends $203.5B/186,779 employees (cite: Google) = $1.08M per employee. According to Wikipedia, Waymo still has 2,500 employees, so we estimate $2.7B per year. That checks out with the ~$2.5B they raised in 2020 and 2021 (cite: Crunchbase). In 2022 they raised nothing, so this operating cost is all coming out of Google's pocket. Not only is the division ridiculously unprofitable, it barely makes any revenue! Including cars with physical drivers in them, which are the majority, Waymo did 6,313 trips in 3 months (cite: The Verge). Assuming each trip is ~$25 (cite: amount I pay for Ubers) and multiplying by four for the year, Waymo makes $631k in yearly revenue, enough to afford a single "Senior Staff SWE" (cite: levels fyi) Autonomous vehicles still today remain a research problem, though this is absolutely not how this problem was pitched to investors. And even after the problem is solved, the unit economics will likely not make sense for a long time. Any one being honest will tell you there's little prospect of these kinds of companies turning a profit anytime soon. Shutting something like this down is not unprecedented. Even Ford brought sensible enough people to the table who saw the writing on the wall. After making massive losses every year, Argo AI, their "robotaxi" moonshot, was shut down and written off entirely for $2.7B. Smart choice. Every year, GOOG spends $2.7B to make $631k. In order to just break even, assuming miraculously that operating costs stay the same, Waymo would need 4278x growth. The shareholders say "HELL NO! SHUT DOWN WAYMO!" …more 87 comments 18 reposts Like Comment Repost Send

I guess it's an easy way to screen people out who'd never fit in here, every job I've applied for I'm excited when they give me coding. I love coding, it's very concrete and can be evaluated without bias.
