"Can everyone read the code on the slide?" "Not really." <enlarges text> "Better?" "No, it's still Scala."

This is also why @huggingface does not have an "ethical AI team". It's critical IMO to build up a coalition of people across the company, horizontally, who want to think about ethical AI issues + apply in their teams.
@hardmaru I think this is probably a good thing — after working on a responsible AI team, they end up being the police, and an afterthought where people just want to get their “responsible AI” stamp. Integrating the teams allows the product builders to gain trust in them, and there’s a

Lamento profundamente el fallecimiento de Jesús Ociel Baena. Perdimos una voz potente por la igualdad y los derechos de las personas LGBTI+. Le magistrade luchó con arrojo por una sociedad más igualitaria, en la que la diversidad sea celebrada y todes puedan encontrar la

Given my post on the importance of open source AI - https://t.co/vLwy0vB0kF ... I'm loving the definition of an AI system by OECD, particularly as the diagram makes clear that data is part of the system - https://t.co/owi4qbQwUg - and that means training data

The holiday was once about remembering the costs of war. The change in language around it is pervasive and pernicious.
This weekend is a time for the country to stop, reflect, and remember our armed forces who have kept and continue to keep us safe. We say thank you to everyone who has served, those who continue to serve, and their families, who sacrifice so much.

@taylorswift13 just a thought, U should go in & re-record all the songs that U don’t own the masters on exactly how U did them but put brand new art & some kind of incentive so fans will no longer buy the old versions. I’d buy all of the new versions just to prove a point 💁🏼♀️

A good reason why "model transparency" isn't as meaningful as it seems. Give us ways of evaluating systems, don't bury us in details of how individual pieces function.
Gentle reminder that ChatGPT is not a "model" ("foundation" or otherwise). It's a larger system, likely composed of multiple different models and traditional coded rules. Terminology is important, and breakdowns like these can happen when we lose clarity.

I'm appalled by how many otherwise decent people see nothing wrong with this mediaeval slaughter of a trapped and penned civilian population- even as both the IDF and the Biden administration say that the actual casualties are likely far higher than the 10,000+ dead posted by the
2 million people are meeting the fate of inmates of a sieged city or a concentration camp but one under constant bombardment. This happens not in a forgotten corner of the world but under everyone’s eyes and with the cheerful support of the most respected and civilised opinion

Biggest misconceptions in AI: 1. Confusing skill and intelligence. They are orthogonal. General intelligence can be converted into skill at many tasks, but in reverse, you can achieve arbitrary levels of skill at arbitrary tasks without requiring any intelligence at all.

What we need is companies to be held to account to release the ingredient lists and "may contain traces of nuts" of AI systems.
