Sam

“Sam just came out with a post, I believe yesterday, saying that actually they're going to slow down the release of some of their frontier models because they felt that their safety stack was not keeping up with the capability.”

“And we've seen basically a hundred and six million kind of smart poly created examples that are SAM one, two, or three powered.”

“We do not have, kind of, we have this kind of decoupled approach, but we do not end-to-end train this model. And we expect definitely kind of, it will be kind of a benefit from kind of end-to-end training.”

“There was a bunch of Lorraine Powell jobs trying to get Johnny to pin down a timeline. And he said, I can't talk about that. You can probably get more out of Sam than me. And then Lorraine said, Then she said, well, is it five years? And he's like, no, no, no,…”

“I think that's a good idea. I think Sam will come up with so much alternative financing. It'll slip into mid 27, but I think that's the straw man today would be my guess. Like that's the plan, but there'll be so much, so many other sources of maybe the governm…”

“Well, we sent the bad letter to Sam. Like stop using the UFC and the WWE and so on.”

“The fact that Sam invested early in Entropic and Curse is astonishing. Right. What a talent, you know, what a willingness to look at new stuff in 21 before the chat GPT moment, you know, when it was just, you know, crazy stuff that, you know, people were sayin…”

“And we actually, we put it on a piece of paper as we were brainstorming and thinking about our aspirations for the business, that our goal was to hit 8000 dollars of monthly recurring revenue. 3000 for him, 3000 for me, a thousand for the servers and a thousan…”

“And Sam from OpenAI said, like, they're going to support it as well”

“SAM for us has saved our users 75 years of labeling time.”

“SAM replaced that with a hierarchical encoder, which gets approximately the same results, but leads to a six times faster inference, which is excellent, especially considering how in a trend of 23 was replacing the VIT with more efficient backbones.”

“And they took the model, Parker, and Sam built that model at Zenefits, and then they reproduced it at Rippling. Massive outbound model.”

“Since then, Sam has told me that he actually wants to go to four orders of magnitude to get to a trillion dollars in you know, sort of spend.”

“Sam was just telling me that he had decommissioned Volta just recently.”

“Actually Sam is having so much impact in medicine, probably more than I could have ever had as a doctor myself.”

“SAM-I model was around six hundred and thirty million parameters, a fraction of the size of these large language models, but very small. Actually SAM-II, the largest model is around two hundred and twenty-four million parameters. There's actually One third the…”

“And in terms of the efficiency compared to SAM, so if we were to run SAM per frame on a video or run SAM two, it's around six times faster to run SAM two versus run SAM per frame.”

“So as you've probably seen with SAM and SAM-II, it's a fairly narrow problem, but we really try to make it a step change in the capability. And so with each Version. We are trying to limit the focus on one thing that we can know we can do really well. And in t…”

“We started with just SAM. We apply SAM per frame. That's like the most basic way of extending SAM to video. Then the most obvious thing to do is to take the output masks from SAM and then provide it as input into a video object segmentation model that takes th…”

“And we find that actually SAM-II is a lot better than SAM when it comes to segmenting objects in video frames, because they actually have a sort of slightly different distribution than images.”

“Sam is the closest thing that we have to an emergent mogul in tech.”

“Not only do I think that Sam really owns open AI through the fig leaf, this foundation, I think he owns a hundred percent of it in the event that the call option is struck.”

“So after the dinner, Ilya leaves Google and signs up to become, as we said, co-founder and chief scientist of a new independent AI non-profit research lab backed by Elon and Sam. OpenAI.”

“And again, this is my personal opinion. I don't think CZ thought he was going to collapse FTX. I think he thought he was brushing Sam back. I think he was sending him a message that what you're doing is unsportsmanlike conduct, and the result of which I'm goin…”

“The most important thing is that you show the definition of what is the market, and what is the TAM, and what is the SAM, and then show the numbers, and I don't necessarily think that the decks should show the calculations.”
