I think its easy to say "Simulation is a new scaling law" and treat it as marketing hyperbole, but midway along this interview you can hear me go from somewhat shitposting to very very serious.

I am 2 years late to this but finally understand why @karpathy and @drfeifei backed @joon_s_pk @msbernst @percyliang et al - Smallville at the time had zero commercial applications, but if you take RSI seriously, from models automating increasingly large parts of ML research and AI engineering, the last* barrier is simulating humans and human feedback, and Simile is obviously the team to do this and already finding PMF at Fortune 100s even at this early stage.

I've never been so happy to be so wrong.

*or second last ! :) more soon on the Science pod
