Amazing new research by the one and only @ARSaporta accepted to #NeurIPS2024.
Multimodal representation learning works for 2 modalities, but what if you're working with 3+ modalities, like in healthcare, robotics, or video?. 📢 Meet Symile: a model-agnostic contrastive loss for any number of modalities with CLIP's simplicity and superior performance✨. 1/n

Congrats to @mbrendan1 and the team on the official launch of the Cosmos Institute, tackling the most important questions about philosophy x AI.
The world creates moments when philosophy matters. 250 years ago, America's founders turned philosophy into law. Today, our revolutionary AI moment demands translating philosophy into code, to promote human flourishing. The Cosmos Institute launches to tackle this challenge:

Very pleased to have contributed to this important new work on the need for privacy-preserving credentials with a group of amazing researchers and practitioners. Read it!.
Think you can tell if a social media account is a bot? What about as AI gets better?. A new paper—co-authored with researchers from ~20 orgs, & my OpenAI teammates Zoë Hitzig and David Schnurr—asks this question: What are AI-proof ways to tell who’s real online? (1/n)

my only real job today was to get a good soundbite from @wolfejosh and thankfully he delivered.
at Cerebral Valley New York today, @wolfejosh says there are limits to the idea that AI is going to replace nuclear as the new global arms race. though the belief can be self-fulfilling

fully agree. the whole point of technology is to make us *more* human, with more agency and freedom. that is the essence of agentic tech (and also what I'm personally betting on to succeed 🙂 .

Investing in agentic tech
tools that allow anyone to generate interesting art. tools that let anyone generate high quality video. tools that let you send value to anyone or engage in contracts without permission or approval. tools that let you sculpt your environment to your tastes. these are agentic.

How do we build AI agents that actually give us the functionality and control we want? @AnonPlatform is laying the groundwork, setting the standards, and building the infrastructure for *actually* useful AI co-pilots, giving users the control over data and identity they deserve.
