Ramon: Experienced Magicians Can Predict Illusions by Reading Subconscious Cues
“So I can watch another magician, ok, I know why he's saying the things he's saying, why he's standing the way he's standing, why he's wearing what he's wearing, why he's choosing to use these specific words, because I can read magic and I can see And just by w…”
Steinberger: AGI can be reduced to an AI that writes code and tests ideas
“If you your end goal is to have a system that can do everything you can reduce that to building a system that can build that system. And so that minimal system is a system that writes code and comes up with ideas and can validate those by writing code and runn…”
Steinberger: Long context windows are fundamentally superior to RAG
“Retrieval selects a subset of data for one completion. Our model sees all the data all the time. Clearly, a subset of data for the whole completion is a subset of all the data all the time. So if retrieval was optimal, our system could learn it. And it just tu…”
Steinberger: Magic is announcing one of the largest compute clusters ever built
“Also in parallel with the release of this, we're going to be announcing what is going to be one of the largest clusters to ever be built.”
Steinberger: Magic skipped launching code completions because next-gen models will obsolete them
“Like, we decided not to launch completions, because it's just obviously going to get killed by the next thing.”
Steinberger: AI coding tool adoption will be a bimodal step-function
“I just genuinely think that there is a gigantic market that gets unlocked in a step function moment where users decide that they're no longer going to use VS code to write code and send it to their colleagues. They're going to use magic or whoever ends up doin…”
Steinberger: Magic will never poach frontier lab staff for training IP
“We're not buying the IP by poaching someone from like a lab who tells us how they train GPT. Never done this. Will not do it.”
Raggl: ROI Ventures Portfolio Company Magic Raised Over $100 Million
“And we've invested two years ago, and it just raised over a hundred million US dollars beginning of this year, so it's quite a success story, and we're quite happy backers of the startup.”
DelGaudio: Magic relies on audience verifying real-time circumstances
“Magic works because you know that it's happening in real time, right in front of you, and the more that you can verify those circumstances, that this is actually happening right here and now, the more effective that moment of astonishment is.”
Gil: Magic Is Building Long Context AI to Ingest Entire Code Repositories
“Magic, for example, is doing that for code. You know, you should be able to dump an entire code repo into a coding model instead of having to do it piecemeal.”
Outdoor Voices produced 200 initial units for $5,000
“After that initial run of 10, I think I paid 5000 dollars to get 200 units, or 200 tops and bottoms made so that I could show up to this trade show.”
