This is both funny as fuck and sad as fuck

Obsessed with the new “make it more” trend on ChatGPT. You generate an image of something, and then keep asking for it to be MORE. For example - spicy ramen getting progressively spicier 🔥 (from u/dulipat)

Google Search gotten… bad? OpenAI may self destruct in a fit of sci-fi fanaticism, but not before they opened the door to a world where Google isn’t the single portal to content discovery on the internet. machinesonpaper.com/mop-newsletter…

I attended a Google-hosted workshop today. Workshops like these are a great chance to spread their work. I enjoyed the talks immensely. However, for whatever reason, this was the gender breakdown. I'm posting because I think it's important that people know these statistics.

@srush_nlp Please do not bet the apartment on this

Three years remaining... I know it's not the most important question, but it's definitely the most fun. isattentionallyouneed.com

I ended up spending Sunday down a rabbit hole on AI safety and wrote some thoughts on how the government is so far resisting the doomsday super nerds. machinesonpaper.com/mop-2-some-reg…

It's infuriating that you can now generate either generate near perfect text or images, but that it is impossible to generate passable text and images. (w/ @ericagreene)

I wrote about the big questions facing teachers in the age of AI. Like, what happens to homework...? machinesonpaper.com/taking-ai-to-s…

Noticing that it's getting really, really hard to keep up with the latest in AI, even though we LITERALLY WORK IN AI. So, me + @ericagreene started working together to try and make sense of it all. Sign up for our coffee shop convos and email threads! machinesonpaper.com

Introducing COLM (colmweb.org) the Conference on Language Modeling. A new research venue dedicated to the theory, practice, and applications of language models. Submissions: March 15 (it's pronounced "collum" 🕊️)

This was a blast! Thanks to all the women who came out and to @terroirNY for hosting us. Networking is so much more pleasant with good wine.

Yes, they were from SF

Met someone tonight who proudly declared that they’ve been “news sober” for 8 years. Is this a thing?

Tip for vegetarians visiting Paris in a warm month: go for the gazpacho

My grandma and lifelong MN resident before we told her Garrison Keillor was sitting behind her. We shouldn’t have worried, she played it cool.

@skamille I’m curious if you think in-person after work networking events are valuable? Particular for people from underrepresented groups in tech. Many of these communities are not active anymore and I’m torn on the importance of bringing them back.

@maascamp @datadoghq @opentelemetry Welcome! I joined a few months ago. Get ready for some eye rolling canine puns (and lots of interesting problems!).

Today was my last day at Meta. On Monday I'll start my new role as an Eng Director @datadoghq working on APM and figuring out our plans for @opentelemetry. Excited to try my hand on the product side of the business.

I found a wine bar I love; 60s vibe, warm lighting, live music. But the wine tastes like juice. Do I say something? Anyone want to buy out a high potential wine bar?
