Research scientist @DeepMind, here to see what's going on in the world and what @samuelpepys is up to



I sat down with Daniele Perito to talk about his new company @depthfirstlabs. He was previously on the founding team of Cash App and cofounder of Faire. We talked about the future of software security in the age of AI and what becomes possible for both attackers and defenders, what he learned from Cash App and Faire, and what's the same and different across these companies. Hope you enjoy.

This Islamist has dodged prison despite attacking a man with a knife for burning a Quran. I challenge anyone to watch the video and tell me he shouldn’t be locked up.


Thanks @TechCrunch for covering our $11.3M seed round, bringing next gen(AI) analytics to biopharma and beyond. techcrunch.com/2024/08/20/rel… Happy to have great investors on board with Tola Capital, @inovia and @mavolpi in additon to our amazing Angels from before.


A dear filmmaker friend of mine recently congratulated me & said "you have achieved what 95% of filmmakers never achieve - you have actually made a film." My directorial debut The Battle for Kyiv premieres in London in less than 48 hours, and I can't wait to share it with you.

Our paper on using RL for tokamak magnetic control has been recently published on the Fusion Engineering and Design journal. And while this is not about the latest LLMs, there are quite a few lessons learned on how to make RL work in applied domains sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Tomorrow in the reading group: @geisler_si will present his "Transformers Meet Directed Graphs" arxiv.org/abs/2302.00049 👌 Excellent for understanding Graph Transofmers better (and GT for DAGs :3) Join on zoom at 11am EDT / 3pm UTC: m2d2.io/talks/logg/abo…

The transformer architecture powers recent AI tools like #ChatGPT or #GoogleBard. In our @DeepMind #ICML2023 paper Transformers Meet Directed Graphs, we generalize transformers to more general inputs, namely directed graphs. Here’s how we did it. 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2302.00049
