@zerotomasteryio @AndreiNeagoie I’ve done five courses so far… have literally changed my life and career path… from DJ to data science director!

1/ In 2014, I (@AndreiNeagoie) was in your shoes 👟.
I wanted a career change.
I wanted to get into tech.
So I taught myself to code using only free resources and got hired in 5 months.
You can too.
This is how I'd do it if I had to start from scratch in 2024.
Let's go 👇🧵

New on @huggingface — CoTracker simultaneously tracks the movement of multiple points in videos using a flexible design based on a transformer network — it models correlation of the points in time via specialized attention layers.

To be clear, at this time and for the foreseeable future, there does not exist any AI model or technique that could represent an extinction risk for humanity. Not even in nascent form, and not even if you extrapolate capabilities far into the future via scaling laws.

Give me your top case studies for generative AI..besides the obvious

And no, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger do not listen to your microphone unless you are actively using a feature that requires a microphone, like a call.
From here: facebook.com/privacy/dialog…
¨Are Facebook and Instagram listening to your conversations?
No. We understand that sometimes ads can be so specific, it seems like we must be listening to your conversations through your microphone, but we're not. We only use your microphone if you've given us permission and are actively using a feature that requires the microphone.¨
If you believe Meta could be lying about this, you grossly under-estimate two things:
1. the kind of legal liability risk a large company is willing to take by lying.
2. the level of government scrutiny Meta is under right now, particularly when it comes to data privacy.

If some ill-intentioned person can produce an evil AGI, then large groups of well-intentioned, well-funded, and well-organized people can produce AI systems that are specialized in taking down evil AGIs.
Call it the AGI police.
No need to bomb data centers.

@fchollet this and the diagrams in the replies seem related to what you’re looking for!

To make neural networks as modular as brains, We propose brain-inspired modular training, resulting in modular and interpretable networks! The ability to directly see modules with naked eyes can facilitate mechanistic interpretability. It’s nice to see how a “brain” grows in NN!

If you are worried about "AI causing mass unemployment" listen to economists who have studied the impact of technological revolutions on the labor market, like @erikbryn .
DO NOT listen to computer scientists who are concerned by the social consequences of their work.

I've been genuinely impressed with sophistication of ChatGPT users, and the depth to which they explore the technology. Easy to underappreciate.
Sam Altman@sama
common pattern: ChatGPT users demonstrate that they understand the limitations and weaknesses of the product *extremely well*; experts in the field continue to worry it’s just too complicated and the users won’t be able to understand

- @lexfridman is uniquely qualified to do this in a way that truly serves the world. His ability to host people from across a wide range of stances & to press important issues, and get to truth, is remarkable. Red ties, blue ties, black ties… I would love to see this happen.

Looks like it'll be Biden vs Trump again in 2024. I hope to interview both.

Announced by Mark Zuckerberg this morning — today we're releasing DINOv2, the first method for training computer vision models that uses self-supervised learning to achieve results matching or exceeding industry standards.
