C'est le début de mon #calendrierdelavent des #fractals ! Pour fêter cela, voici un zoom de l'ensemble de #Mandelbrot coloré avec une fonction d'inégalité triangulaire moyenne. N'hésitez pas à RT mon #DecembreFractal, ça me fera aussi chaud au coeur qu'un chocolat chaud ❤️

Introducing Breaking Books, a tool to bring books to the social sphere. It is a game changer to read non-fiction books AND hang out with friends. We used AI to turn an epub into a beautiful deck of cards. The goal is to piece back the book together into a coherent mind map.

The time for AI self-regulation is over. 200 Nobel laureates, former heads of state, and industry experts just signed a statement: "We urgently call for international red lines to prevent unacceptable AI risks" The call was presented at the UN General Assembly today by Maria

When you leave OpenAI, you get an unpleasant surprise: a departure deal where if you don't sign a lifelong nondisparagement commitment, you lose all of your vested equity:

I’m super excited to release our 100+ page collaborative agenda - led by @usmananwar391 - on “Foundational Challenges In Assuring Alignment and Safety of LLMs” alongside 35+ co-authors from NLP, ML, and AI Safety communities! Some highlights below...

Le "champion européen", porté par le Président Français et utilisé pour affaiblir la régulation des IA...

I would recommend applying, both for the topics of great importance and for the nice people that I met during my summer internship there.

Addressing the long-term risks of AI doesn't mean we can ignore its present harms — and vice versa. In our @TIME op-ed, @achan96 and I argue that we need to break away from the false "present vs. future" harms dichotomy. https://t.co/y80CXDnMMI

The grand finale: congratulations to the winning teams 🏆 for presenting a 3-minute pitch as #honestbrokers during the #Science4policy workshop by @LetiMonte1 and @VeroCasartelli.

Note that I was not in this classroom, and I don't know who had this slide in their lecture. Though I'd love to talk with them to understand why we see the world so differently

Feels strange to be studying at @EPFL... If "non-linear regression" is all it takes to build highly capable systems, we should definitely take the matter seriously. What will "non-linear regression" do in a few years? New sources of power are emerging, we need to adapt.

I've worried AI could lead to human extinction ever since I heard about Deep Learning from Hinton's Coursera course, >10 years ago. So it's great to see so many AI researchers advocating for AI x-safety as a global priority. Let's stop arguing over it and figure out what to do!

Why the best outcome is never as good as it seems. And the worst is never as bad as it seems. A thread on a surprisingly little known but really important concept: regression to the mean. /1

This is one of the more hopeful processes happening on Earth right now - because it may give rise to a culture of people with something like security mindset, who try to break things, instead of imagining how wonderfully they'll work. https://t.co/boP2HW2JQg

Ugh @Google will "recalibrate" the level of risk it is willing to take when releasing AI tools, due to competitive pressure from @OpenAI. This is the kind of market-driven arms race we do NOT need when it comes to tech that could drastically reshape society, for better and worse.

Thanks so much everyone for your love and concern, but by far the best part of today was being with the best people in the world: the everyday + extraordinary heroes & activists of @Renovate_CH . I want to share with you some pictures & ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎 for them. A 🧵. 1/

Quand une climatologue du GIEC participe à des actions de désobéissance civile parce que les gouvernements n’agissent pas assez vite. Si des scientifiques de ce niveau s’y mettent c’est que ça chauffe. Et pas qu’un peu

Venez participer au grand hackathon d'EffiSciences sur la sûreté de l'IA, ce week-end, à 42 Paris @42born2code @42Network Un chercheur du domaine fera une présentation de la thématique 🤫 Dépêchez vous, il ne reste plus beaucoup de place ! ⌛️ ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/2nD0TeaYIA

The computation used to train AIs is doubling every 3.4 months. That's 11.5× each year What will AIs look like in 10 years? We don't know. But if we don't solve *the alignment problem* we won't be there to talk about it. Learn about what you can do: https://t.co/NNntAzhwDm 👈

Aujourd'hui est un jour spécial ! C'est le J1 de ML4Good, le 1e camp en France visant à former des chercheurs et chercheuses spécifiquement sur les aspects techniques de la sûreté de l'IA, pour qu'elle profite à la société.👇
