Democratic politicians seem to be incapable of learning from Trump. They should never use the word "tariff". They should always say "federal sales tax". Trump went ballistic when Jeff Bezos suggested listing tariffs as if they were a sales tax. Using the word "tariff" is gross

I did a podcast with Jon Stewart who has always been a hero of mine. It was a lot of fun. He really wanted to understand how AI works. https://t.co/frLBndsW7g

There is a book on Amazon called "Modern AI Revolution" by Geoffrey Hinton. This is a scam. It has nothing to do with me and I wish Amazon would remove it.

Congratulations to @Yoshua_Bengio on launching @LawZero_ — a research effort to advance safe-by-design AI, especially as frontier systems begin to exhibit signs of self-preservation and deceptive behaviour.

AGI is the most important and potentially dangerous technology of our time. OpenAI was right that this technology merits strong structures and incentives to ensure it is developed safely, and is wrong now in attempting to change these structures and incentives. We're urging the

I like OpenAI’s mission of 'ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity”, and I’d like to stop them from completely gutting it. I’ve signed on to a new letter to @AGRobBonta & @DE_DOJ asking them to halt the restructuring. (1/2)

Researchgate sent me a fake paper called "The AI Health Revolution: Personalizing Care through Intelligent Case-based Reasoning" which claims to be by me and Yann LeCun. More than one third of the citations are to Shefiu Yusuf which may mean nothing.

I think Elon Musk should be expelled from the British Royal Society. Not because he peddles conspiracy theories and makes Nazi salutes, but because of the huge damage he is doing to scientific institutions in the US. Now let's see if he really believes in free speech.

I was happy to add my name to this list of employees and alumni of AI companies. These signatories have better insight than almost anyone else into what is coming next with AI and we should heed their warnings.

110+ employees and alums of top-5 AI companies just published an open letter supporting SB 1047, aptly called the "world's most controversial AI bill." 3-dozen+ of these are current employees of companies opposing the bill. Check out my coverage of it in the @sfstandard 🧵

There is a UK company called Profit Crunch Ltd that is fraudulent. They claim i am a director and use my reputation to reassure investors. They are crooks. I have nothing to do with them. They also forged my signature on an insurance certificate.

The way it attends to relevant parts of the visual input seems almost human, though its attending in parallel as well as sequentially.

Interpreting end-to-end trainable autonomy models is crucial for fostering trust and ensuring safety. The use of transformers in Vayu's autonomy model allows us to interpret the model's thought process through attention maps. https://t.co/xOlsZGnO9O #AI #NVIDIARobotics

Someone with access to two boats should be able to recreate this and make a viral video of it. The water needs to be rough enough to disguise the wakes except when they positively interfere.
