From the point of view of a 19th Century farmer, machines have taken over all the jobs in the 21st Century. Jobs that occupied most people in the 19th Century now occupy small amounts of people or have disappeared. Most 21st jobs would be entirely incomprehensible for a 19th

Did you hear of an open-source project built in Europe by Denis Diderot called: Encyclopédie? The “authorities” jailed him for it. He had no permission for safety or a license. This was 1749. The same folks are ready to do this with open-source AI. https://t.co/jjeoXVQL50

This was a tremendous interview, the most insightful I have seen on the subject. Fascinating. Well worth setting aside the time to watch it all.

In this 3 hour magnum opus conversation @jordanbpeterson and myself explore just about every element of AI including the frontiers. One is the profound creativity we discovered. Join us with this late night conversation, https://t.co/wxynbDQ1Vu It is my hope—it is useful.

We just released our work on robot soccer. I've been working on this for quite some time with my amazing colleagues at DeepMind. It's exciting how deep RL can produce such beautiful behaviors with low-cost robots. Full paper is available at https://t.co/A65rPLL7UD Enjoy!

Sometimes, the antidote to feeling overwhelmed isn't rest. It's doing something that is fully engaging, that makes you feel alive. Such activities will knock you off of the rut of apathy. And jump start your energy and focus.

UK government borrowed £22bn last month, £13.9 billion more than last November + highest November borrowing since monthly records began in 1993 + way above City forecasts of £13bn.  Interest payments alone = £7.3bn, pushed up by higher inflation .

FBI paid Twitter $3.4m to process requests (aka taking down conservative accounts) in run up to 2020 presidential election. FBI dealt directly and regularly with Twitter execs to block accounts spreading supposed “disinformation”, inc top Twitter lawyer Jim Baker, ex-FBI.

There is a hard ceiling to how much data will ever need to be streamed: retinal resolution at 120 frames per second, compressed, for each eyeball on the planet. The seemingly-exponential growth of streamed data is gonna turn into a sigmoid as we get closer to this ceiling.

If you're looking for a @MATLAB version of Jim Ramsay's code library for functional data analysis, I've made it available here https://t.co/PVphLFBI7W. It's no longer available at https://t.co/uhTtRQYhMg which has been the only available source for @MATLAB.

Thank you everyone for trying the Galactica model demo. We appreciate the feedback we have received so far from the community, and have paused the demo for now. Our models are available for researchers who want to learn more about the work and reproduce results in the paper.

Too many studies that apply machine learning to science & medicine employ incorrect methodologies. Many make very basic mistakes, such as not having separate training & test sets, using the test set (not a separate validation set) for feature selection, hyperparameter tuning, etc

There’s a reproducibility crisis brewing in almost every scientific field that has adopted machine learning. On July 28, we’re hosting an online workshop featuring a slate of expert speakers to help you diagnose and fix these problems in your own research: https://t.co/zexYmhkttp
