A former Secretary of State, former Google CEO and Executive Chairman, and an MIT Dean share their very big picture thoughts about the implications of text-based generative #ai. Should be required reading for those thinking about the that future. on.wsj.com/41s5S9e

I'm optimistic about this improving over time as we get more data, more computing, and more discussion of inference. That still won't solve the issue of folks using Bayesian tools with Frequentist interpretations. #Bayes

The version I heard has an engineering student in France: Bad eng school graduates: it doesn't work, and you don't know why. Good practically-oriented eng school grad: it works, but you don't know why. Elite theory-oriented school grad: it doesn't work, but you know why.

"Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work. Practice is when something works, but you don’t know why. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don’t know why." - Unknown

On a Rainy Sunday in the Time of COVID, as news of skyrocketing deaths in New York and around the world, I am reminded of John Donne. Stay safe. Stay connected. Stay engaged.

Pleased to see @NotreDame growing #DataScience from both technical and social perspectives. As I said long ago (LAK13): "Do not think of data science as a set of techniques but as a collection of viewpoints (epistemic positions) and habits of mind."
