I never thought a computer scientist could win the Nobel Prize. Our cap is not the Turing Award then. Amazing! This opens so many options. well. Anyways, congrats to Hinton and Hopfield #NobelPrize.

Yes, one day we'll have general artificial intelligence, I don't see any physical limits that would prevent that. And yes, one day the futurist will be right that AGI will arrive in less than ten years. In the meantime, we continue doing the job and decline making such prediction.

So today my question was answered, after less than 3 month, Prof Berk Canberk used ChatGPT as a verb :) I have chatgpted (!) it. Thanks Berk for the great talk on digital twins!

how long until we make a verb out of using chatGTP? can you chatGPT it? To summarise, expand, ELI5. in Spanish it will be "chatgipitéalo".

Did you know that you can use evolution on a robot without simulation? if you are clever about it. New paper and video (bonus: you can see me cosplaying Cow and Chicken parents) @CULLYAntoine @bryanlimwt @hannah_janmo @GeccoConf.

Why does excelling in a particular topic (science) give people the courage to comment as experts in other areas? I'm looking at you AI scientists talking about society, economics, politics, etc., after chatGPT success.

This is one of the overlooked cases for explainability AI (XAI): explain what the deep network is doing so humans can learn from it and exploit it.

Since 1969 Strassen’s algorithm has famously stood as the fastest way to multiply 2 matrices - but with #AlphaTensor we’ve found a new algorithm that’s faster, with potential to improve efficiency by 10-20% across trillions of calculations per day!
