Amelia Thurdekoos wrote about the conversation, plus the working habits the team landed on for reviewing AI-generated pull requests.

We are excited to share that Rob Timpe will be speaking at the Santa Cruz PyTorch Meetup on October 6.

Rob works on the front end of torch.compile, known as Dynamo, and he will walk through using and debugging Torch.compile: the common failures, how to fix them, and recent work making errors easier to understand.

This meetup has grown into a real gathering point for engineers, students, and researchers across the Santa Cruz tech scene, and we are glad to be a part of it. If you are in the area, come out for food, good talks, and good people.

Bill Gates wrote today: "AI will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst source of injustice."

For us, the difference comes down to this: who controls the intelligence.

We believe the answer is distributed ownership. Not more centralization.

Every organization that runs on AI needs to own its own intelligence infrastructure. The data. The context. The decisions.

Then tell us: Who should control AI?

Bill Gates explains the risks associated with AI and argues that they are manageable. Innovations often create new risks that need to be controlled.
