@AlfonAmayuelas @Keller @ChipotleTweets Or maybe they did?

@Keller @ChipotleTweets They clearly didn’t ask someone from Spain before naming it that way 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Today, Chipotle announced autonomous burrito delivery. They are calling it “Zipotle”. As someone who spent years living off burrito bowls, I can’t believe I can now get Chipotle delivered by a robot in less than 10 minutes. @ChipotleTweets

@jaredforsyth @rtfeldman interested!

Ok friends, who wants to beta test this series? 🙏 I'd love to get some feedback before I do a general release. Reply here & I'll DM you a link.

@javisantana Casi mejor, al final. A veces se nos olvida que aquí también hay empresas haciendo cosas muy interesantes. Para llenar varios días de charlas.

Por ser 100% transparente, me iba a traer a unos ponentes de una empresa internacional para hablar de un proyecto que me parece espectacular, pero lamentablemente declinaron. Me dio algo de rabia, así que dije "para qué voy a buscar fuera si tenemos proyectazos en casa"

Ayer organizamos (Google Cloud + Tinybird) la segunda edición de BATCH, una conferencia de datos para hablar de problemas reales. No sé si salió bien o no pero fue como quería: - Charlas de cosas reales, con opiniones, se podía ver como cada ponente había dejado un poco de su piel en el proyecto - Los ponentes eran de fuera del círculo de conferenciantes habitual, cosa que trae cierta frescura. - Nada de decoración: al grano, nada de rollo de patrocinadores, nada de azúcar, al grano. - La gente estaba atenta, muy poca gente mirando el móvil. Es difícil buscar una métrica mejor. Además, llenamos Google Campus :) Gracias a todos por acercaos

Me returning to work after New Years

Altman, Hassabis, and Amodei are the ones doing massive corporate lobbying at the moment. They are the ones who are attempting to perform a regulatory capture of the AI industry. You, Geoff, and Yoshua are giving ammunition to those who are lobbying for a ban on open AI R&D. If your fear-mongering campaigns succeed, they will *inevitably* result in what you and I would identify as a catastrophe: a small number of companies will control AI. The vast majority of our academic colleagues are massively in favor of open AI R&D. Very few believe in the doomsday scenarios you have promoted. You, Yoshua, Geoff, and Stuart are the singular-but-vocal exceptions. like many, I very much support open AI platforms because I believe in a combination of forces: people's creativity, democracy, market forces, and product regulations. I also know that producing AI systems that are safe and under our control is possible. I've made concrete proposals to that effect. This will all drive people to do the Right Thing. You write as if AI is just happening, as if it were some natural phenomenon beyond our control. But it's not. It's making progress because of individual people that you and I know. We, and they, have agency in building the Right Things. Asking for regulation of R&D (as opposed to product deployment) implicitly assumes that these people and the organization they work for are incompetent, reckless, self-destructive, or evil. They are not. I have made lots of arguments that the doomsday scenarios you are so afraid of are preposterous. I'm not going to repeat them here. But the main point is that if powerful AI systems are driven by objectives (which include guardrails) they will be safe and controllable because *e* set those guardrails and objectives. (Current Auto-Regressive LLMs are not driven by objectives, so let's not extrapolate from their current weaknesses). Now about open source: your campaign is going to have the exact opposite effect of what you seek. In a future where AI systems are poised to constitute the repository of all human knowledge and culture, we *need* the platforms to be open source and freely available so that everyone can contribute to them. Openness is the only way to make AI platforms reflect the entirety of human knowledge and culture. This requires that contributions to those platforms be crowd-sourced, a bit like Wikipedia. That won't work unless the platforms are open. The alternative, which will *inevitably* happen if open source AI is regulated out of existence, is that a small number of companies from the West Coast of the US and China will control AI platform and hence control people's entire digital diet. What does that mean for democracy? What does that mean for cultural diversity? *THIS* is what keeps me up at night.

This is true. I never wanted to switch. But the people holding management positions haven't fully understood the paradigm shift yet, and tend to judge *you* based on your model perf. From being a getting-s-done individual to someone unsure in this framework is stressful.

@teej_dv I believe they do this for the "just" project: github.com/casey/just

anyone have an example of a rust project that automatically publishes binaries to a github release (so people can just download the binary, rather than having rust as a build step)?

España necesita un @Pantomima_Full de alcalde español de smart city. 😂 Habla de «geovisor smart», «ciudad inteligente» y «enfoque holístico» pero no sabe pronunciar «metacrilato». Se cree todos los flowerpoints en Comic Sans llenos de vaporware que hace su amigo…

The biggest technical trend I've noticed in startups recently is AI. AGI may be far in the future, but in narrower domains ML has gotten good enough that it can be inserted into lots of different things to make them incrementally better.
