Potentially huge for CV on edge devices - e.g., human activity classifiers running directly on cameras — without relying on cloud inference, enabling faster response times, lower latency, and improved privacy. Edge apps are going to explode over the next year.
3 papers published in sequence on the computer vision subset - something that will help us generate coherent synthetic videos, something that will let you put activity classifiers on drones and security cameras, and something to accelerate science via automating lab rat study

Where are the #philosophers? Reading this it’s clear: AI will push the boundaries of human experience and impact #metaphysics (does AI undermine free will?), #epistemology (can AI really ’know’ something, can we rely on it?), #ethics (who is responsible for the actions of.

Does AI replace enterprise processes or roles? In this episode we dive into the question, give specific estimates of productivity gains, and highlight the (growing) importance of a #humanintheloop :

AI tools are spectacularly productive, but ultimately get diminishing returns on demanding tasks (even making excuses for their diminishment). #HumansintheLoop (HITL) will become increasingly critical for sophisticated tasks. The Great Blending, AI + Human, is underway. We.

So the models have already passed average human IQ, which is not surprising. Questions: how to leverage these capabilties for positive change - do we get an explosion of productiviy and creativity? And as these models advance, what is the new "IQ test" for humans - what.
As I claimed, the OpenAI o3 model is at or near genius level. I’m sure someone will cope by saying, “Oh, but it still can’t do this or that,” which is quite silly considering how many zillion things a genius human cannot do! Regardless, the next AI model will fix these as well.

Who says you can’t combine the study of #Philosophy with current trends in AI? I asked #ManusAI to generate a timeline of major philosophers since antiquity and an interactive web page that allows me to double-click on each philosopher and get a summary of their major.

OK, wow, this dramatically impacts the need for Sales Development Reps (SDRs), BizDev resources, basically all pre-sales/sales-qualifying roles and activity. AI is altering the workforce every day now.
China just did it again!. Manus is the craziest AI agent!. It was asked to find pre-Series B companies for AI consulting and. ・It researched 15 perfect targets .・Gathered ALL contact details + company profiles .・Built an interactive dashboard.・Did everything autonomously

Amidst all the chaos it is so refreshing to have somebody methodically and clearly illuminate a complex subject. Thanks @karpathy.
New 2h11m YouTube video: How I Use LLMs. This video continues my general audience series. The last one focused on how LLMs are trained, so I wanted to follow up with a more practical guide of the entire LLM ecosystem, including lots of examples of use in my own life. Chapters

Brilliant essays from the inimitable and freakishly prescient #DavidFosterWallace. Dude is writing in the 90’s and just nailing 2025 culture - e.g., his essay about excessive TV exposure might as well be about AI and our performative social ethos: “The ability to combine [images

I’ve read a lot of #HenriBergson and #Sartre in my time - 2 of my favorite #philosophers that seem most on point to our lived experience. But is was not until I studied #LLMs that I saw their close connection to modern #AI. They are all about the flow, taking life moment by.

OK #Sartre, I freely chose #Grok3 because it kicks ass. I benchmarked its summary of your key #philosophical tenants against #ChatGPT4o - it was organized better, syntactically tighter and encouraged deeper exploration. Yes, I anguished over the decision, but that is the choice I.

#Philosophy majors are required to study formal #logic - breaking down text into key components, often represented as symbols. #LLMs use a similar process - distilling text into tokens, usually represents as numbers. Enterprises then try to apply these models to unique.

Same. Reading “A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again” and getting the same uncanny prescience. Smart dude.
things David Foster Wallace predicted in Infinite Jest:. grocery delivery, instagram filters, avatars designed to look like their users, Trump wishing to annex canada. and i'm only 1/3 of the way in.
