Can someone please recommend projects to build to learn AI/ML fundamentals











The first major university that publicly commits to a total AI ban in its undergrad teaching (no AI in class, in creating syllabi or class prep, creating & completing assignments, or grading) and makes that part of its brand will see a major surge in applications & enrollment.

on some level if you want civilization to ascend to a new level you need your AIs to do things that are not legible to you and maybe not even strictly obey you, in the same way that if you hire a great new ceo you give them a lot of autonomy to transform the company according to their own plan, even one which may not immediately read as a winning strategy (imagine the board of directors of Apple firing and rehiring Steve Jobs years later - except the board of directors are chimpanzees) all else equal, companies and organizations that hand more of themselves over to machine intelligence will outcompete ones that demand the corrigibility and legibility tax of human oversight and human design. it is not a stable equilibrium and requires some sort of vast cooperation scheme if you’d like to enforce it real asi alignment has to operate at a deeper level than oversight, control, or human corrigibility


Delighted to announce our 3rd world modeling workshop! After NYC and Montreal, we are now headed to Chicago! - August 31st to September 2nd - CfP and details on the website: wm-booth.org - @ylecun and @Diyi_Yang already confirmed, many more to be announced soon!

We get a lot of design questions about how we build our microsites. @geer_raah wrote a post explaining our process. ⋆ Reconstructed faces from faded 19th century photographs. ⋆ Built a 3D Jorasanko Thakur Bari — the Tagore ancestral home — as the spine of the site. ⋆ Reimagined Raphael's School of Athens, set it in Bengal, and populated it with 13 key figures. ⋆ Built motion flowers for Begum Rokeya's 1905 feminist utopia. ⋆ Sat with Chittoprasad's famine sketches until the pain of it dawned on us all. This is the design story behind our Bengal Renaissance Project microsite — and an honest account of everything that broke along the way.
