Daniel Lieu, Ph.D.

we are launching a new thing today—images in chatgpt! two things to say about it: 1. it's an incredible technology/product. i remember seeing some of the first images come out of this model and having a hard time they were really made by AI. we think people will love it, and we are excited to see the resulting creativity. congrats to our researchers @gabeeegoooh @prafdhar @ajabri @eliza_luth @kenjihata @dmed256 2. this represents a new high-water mark for us in allowing creative freedom. people are going to create some really amazing stuff and some stuff that may offend people; what we'd like to aim for is that the tool doesn't create offensive stuff unless you want it to, in which case within reason it does. as we talk about in our model spec, we think putting this intellectual freedom and control in the hands of users is the right thing to do, but we will observe how it goes and listen to society. we think respecting the very wide bounds society will eventually choose to set for AI is the right thing to do, and increasingly important as we get closer to AGI. thanks in advance for the understanding as we work through this.

Sunset at yesterday’s football game!

Good Day LA Visits the MACC! The Good Day LA morning show visited the Magnolia Agriscience Community Center on the Magnolia High School campus and interviewed student interns for a segment in the show. youtu.be/pE0IZVDwdBI

Also to keep in mind the history during the Cold War in fears that we were behind: "The Advanced Placement Program was designed for high-achieving students at high-status schools in the US as part of an effort to create an academic elite." Full text: researchgate.net/publication/24…

A reminder for HS students looking at their #AP scores that a 2-3 hour test does not define the amount of work and dedication that you put into that class. Proud of you anyways!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate our freedom, our resilience, and our progress. Today we're honoring all the Black folks who came before us – who helped build our country with their bare hands – who marched and fought to do everything they could to build a better future for us all. This Juneteenth, let's pledge to keep using our voices and our votes to create the change we want to see in our country.

Last day in this classroom and in this school site before moving to my next role 😭 #thankful #bittersweet

As #teachers, it's important to learn how to integrate #AI in the classroom. At the very least, becoming familiar with how AI can transform how we engage at work, learn, the world, so that we can hold discussions on AI ethics with our kids because this is their future

@Liv_Lanes 😂

Show me the worst picture you took of the eclipse.

@Rothmus Just because things have always been done doesn't mean that it's the best thing to do, especially as research and data grows & evolves. educationnext.org/time-to-pull-p…

Dear lord.

Week 294. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike #ClimateJusticeNow

@RyanDSmithEdD @chriscfore This is an amazing idea! 😯

@chriscfore Feed it your school’s mission, vision, and values and ask it if it thinks your SPSA aligns well with those things and why or why not. 🤯

Using Chat GPT to help the SPSA look and sound much better! Principals, if you haven't tried this hack yet, get on it!

Had a blast at @NSTA! Thankful for the opportunity to present and share knowledge of the amazing things happening in my district and the learnings from our research in collaboration with UCI!

Student loan journey is all done 😎 Good bye forever!

Check out some of the moments and sounds from yesterday's Day 1 of the 2024 AI Summit! youtu.be/NxZynaWmo_w

It was a spectacular evening at Magnolia High School's International Show! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined in celebrating Magnolia's biggest annual event.

I’ll be presenting at @NSTA! If you’re going, looking forward to seeing you in Denver! 😁
