Bussed to our Lufthansa plane in Frankfurt, our jet was the second most distant one in the whole airport – there was one Condor jet beyond it. I guess that’s what you get for flying to Slovenia. 🇸🇮

Great panel with @aixventureshq’s @shaunbjohnson and @chrmanning speaking with @WisprFlow’s founder @tankots on why voice is poised to be the dominant interface between humans and machine. Full video coming soon.

Excited to sit down with @tankots and @chrmanning to discuss voice and productivity. Have you tried @WisprFlow? I've generally been skeptical about voice for privacy, accuracy, and ux weaknesses. This product has changed my mind. See you there!

This Wednesday, Aug 20th, we will host @tankots of @WisprFlow, @chrmanning, and @shaunbjohnson in our SF office for a fireside chat. Please join in our office (limited capacity) or by Zoom. https://t.co/gDx6km2KDE

Important chart. S&P 490 has had basically no earnings growth since 2022, despite rampant inflation. It’s just 10 companies doing really well, while the broader economy is in contraction in real terms.

estimated drop in new international enrollment to american universities this fall: -30/40% (!) contributing to a 15 percent drop in overall enrollment - nafsa: association of international educators

Excited to share this program #GStar for global talents by @newturing. I personally designed the syllabus with our experienced team at NTI and leading AI experts. This would be an intensive 12-week program to train talents not only in state-of-the-art LLM but also in the research

@david__jurgens @umsi @UMichCSE @stanfordnlp @ang3linawang @cornell_tech @StanfordHAI And Penny Eckert’s third wave sociolinguistics makes it to @aclmeeting in the paper of @NaitianZhou of @BerkeleyISchool

@david__jurgens @umsi @UMichCSE @stanfordnlp Then @ang3linawang of @cornell_tech describes work at @StanfordHAI showing how existing notions of fairness in both datasets & models are strongly based on difference unawareness but in many contexts this is wrong: differences matter and are important but LLMs are unaware of this

.@david__jurgens of @umsi and @UMichCSE – and former .@stanfordnlp postdoc – kicks it off describing a new multilingual and geographically distributed moral reasoning database

But they couldn’t keep me out of the Wednesday session! Plenty of space for all at 9am after last night’s social event!

“Huawei is really good at copying.” This sentence, half-way through “House of Huawei,” may sum up where many may be at when picking up Eva Dou’s book. Those hoping to find the definitive book on the company and its founder Ren Zhengfei will however be disappointed. A Thread.

.@mlapata and I totally failed to be able to learn about Human-Centered NLP at @aclmeeting. 😢 Why do they always put the most interesting sessions in the smallest rooms? (Maybe it’s: Well, there wasn’t a session on this in 2020, so probably no one will turn up this year?)

.@Stanford CS is popular partly due to the rise of tech in society, but the dept also emphasized getting a few fundamentals right: ▪Incredible teachers ▪Rigorous content ▪No enrollment caps ▪(more recently) Modern AI content https://t.co/09wr1VUkmr https://t.co/loJ398GLha

There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The

Some news: We're building the next big thing — the first-ever AI-only social video app, built on a highly expressive human video model. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been testing it in private beta. Now, we’re opening early access: download the iOS app to join the waitlist, or
