In our whiteboard conversation, we get a sample of Greg's work, which goes under the name "Tensor Programs". The route chosen to compress Tensor Programs into the scope of a conversational video is to place its main concepts under the umbrella of one larger, central, and time-tested idea: that of taking a large N limit. This occurs most famously in the Law of Large Numbers and the Central Limit Theorem, which then play a fundamental role in the branch of mathematics known as Random Matrix Theory (RMT). We review this foundational material and then show how Tensor Programs (TP) generalizes this classical work, offering new proofs of RMT.
The leadership at Grok has refused to limit the creation of AI generated explicit images including that of children. The algorithm has also been repeatedly changed to produce responses that better align with a conservative stance.It looks as if he left university with a Bachelors and went to work for Microsoft Research, subsequently head-hunted to xAI by Musk. I would assume he has nothing to do with the well-described negatives of Grok/X specifically. Probably in a similar way to the architects of the Internet and WWW (eg Sir Tim) giving the world many good things (like this forum), while at the same time others have used that to make "the dark web", propaganda and social manipulation.
