wake up babe a new doomer narrative just dropped
Humanity is never going to leave the solar system.
It’s much too distant and our bodies are not made for it.
Things made by humanity have left the solar system (arguably) and will continue to.
Those probes will be intelligent. Hopefully they will carry knowledge of us to someone else in some other time.

This is something we call layered autonomy. Ayg can now run autonomously for hours.
I had a PoC of this architecture 6 months ago, and it worked, but nowhere near as well as it does today. The missing piece of the puzzle was Jev.
Jev is the tactical layer in our autonomy stack. In the original PoC, this layer and the modules around it were specialized RL policies.
And to be honest, I still think the long-term solution is to have local, specialized RL policies for the tasks we use Jev for today. But Jev gave us a way to make the architecture work now, and made me much more confident that the original direction was right.
Huge kudos to the @typesafeai team.
The autonomy graph finally feels complete, and the possibilities it opens up are pretty amazing

Sarah Truman In my generation, astronauts already existed when I was a child. But you grew up before people actually went to space – what inspired you to become an astronaut?
Dr. Edgar Mitchell I was a Navy test pilot. In October 1957, while I returned from duty in the Pacific aboard an aircraft carrier, the Soviets launched Sputnik – the first robot spacecraft. I knew then that humans would soon be in space. So I decided to try to qualify to be an astronaut. It took nine years to complete my studies and duties before being selected into the Apollo program.
SET In 1971, as you pulled away from the Moon and made your way back to Earth, what did it feel like to be in the space between worlds?
EM I’ll have to set up the story for you just a little bit. The spacecraft was oriented perpendicular to the plane that contains the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. Not flying perpendicular to that plane – but moving through it back to Earth. The spacecraft was rotating to maintain the thermal balance of the Sun. What that caused to happen was that every two minutes, with every rotation, we saw the Earth, the Moon and the Sun as they passed by the window. The 360-degree panorama of the heavens was awesome and the stars are ten times as bright and, therefore, ten times as numerous than you could ever see on a high mountaintop on a clear night. It was overwhelmingly magnificent.
SET What were you thinking then?
EM I realized that the molecules of my body and the molecules of the spacecraft had been manufactured in an ancient generation of stars. It wasn’t just intellectual knowledge – it was a subjective visceral experience accompanied by ecstasy – a transformational experience.
