Robert is one of the most talented architecture scientists I've worked with. If you are hanging out in San Diego this week you should absolutely go catch him—you won't regret it :)
Attending @NeurIPSConf? Stop by our poster "Do Language Models Use Their Depth Efficiently?" with @chrmanning and @ChrisGPotts today at poster #4011 in Exhibit Hall C, D, E from 4:30pm.

Thrilled to share that @annadgoldie and I are launching @RicursiveAI, a frontier lab enabling recursive self-improvement through AIs that design their own chips. Our vision for transforming chip design began with AlphaChip, an AI for layout optimization used to design four

Excited to announce that @Azaliamirh and I are launching @RicursiveAI, a frontier AI lab creating a recursive self-improving loop between AI and the hardware that fuels it. Today, chip design takes 2-3 years and requires thousands of human experts. We will reduce that to weeks.

ImpactRank says we’re #1 🥇 in #NLProc — so we think their methodology is sound! 😆 https://t.co/W0BK1AldtO
CSRankings counts publication in top conferences to rank professors/universities. But this encourages researchers to pursue quantity rather than quality. We propose https://t.co/ajtH10DbWQ, a new university ranking system that tries to measure quality instead of quantity of

I tend to think of this as a key part of NLP mindset that dramatically differs from the ML mindset of NeurIPS/ICML.
a key lesson from this is that looking at the data should be the first thing you do, not a last resort after you try to debug some surprising low scores. it really amazes me how many people neglect to do this very obvious thing, and how unintuitive this advice is to them.

Very excited to see this AI for Science Executive Order—the Genesis Mission. The Administration has appropriately ambitious goals here; we may be on the verge of world-changing breakthroughs. Congratulations to all involved!

so there's a huge fleet of unmarked nissan-badged cars with mounted LiDARs that have been rolling through the bay for a few months now, and they seem to all be emerging from the warehouse on 700 Indiana St dm me if you know who's running it and why

pretraining is an elegant science, done by mathematicians who sit in cold rooms writing optimization theory on blackboards, engineers with total absorb of distributed systems of titanic scale posttraining is hair raising cowboy research where people drinking a lot of diet coke

@neuralink caught slacking barring massive cultural change, non-invasive BCI is the only avenue for widespread adoption of human cybernetics
Did you know we can make you smell things now without actually having things? well now you do. Congrats to the unbelievably cracked team (@ennucore, @exr0n_finally , @thomas_rribeiro and @yush_G). We are one more step closer to an absolutely sick cyberpunk society.

Can ultrasound make you smell things that aren’t there? Turns out, yes! We reliably triggered distinct scents like a campfire burn or a garbage truck by targeting our brains with ultrasound. To our knowledge, this has never been done before, even in animals. This may be a
