From the point of view of a 19th Century farmer, machines have taken over all the jobs in the 21st Century. Jobs that occupied most people in the 19th Century now occupy small amounts of people or have disappeared. Most 21st jobs would be entirely incomprehensible for a 19th Century farmer.

Did you hear of an open-source project built in Europe by Denis Diderot called: Encyclopédie? The “authorities” jailed him for it. He had no permission for safety or a license. This was 1749. The same folks are ready to do this with open-source AI.

We just released our work on robot soccer. I've been working on this for quite some time with my amazing colleagues at DeepMind. It's exciting how deep RL can produce such beautiful behaviors with low-cost robots. Full paper is available at arxiv.org/abs/2304.13653 Enjoy!

@ylecun I agree. AI can assist us tremendously if we learn how to use it well. It is all too easy to scare people because all you need is your imagination, which has no constraint. This is not evidence-based decision-making.

1970s: Let's scare the heck out of people about nuclear energy, so that instead of zero-emission power plants we'll use lung-darkening, climate-warming coal and oil plants, killing millions in the process. 2020s: Let's scare the heck out of people about AI, so that instead of amplifying human intelligence and solving the world's biggest problems, we'll make sure progress slows down to a crawl.
Max Tegmark@tegmark

Let's make #AI like biotech, where companies must demonstrate safety, rather than the civilian nuclear industry, where poor safety standards gave us Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima and a backlash that crushed the industry: bnnbloomberg.ca/video/push-for…

@DanielKral1 It only looks that good because the trend line from from 2010. For Portugal, arguably the stable trend begins from 2013. If so, then Portugal is only getting back to the trend. Still, it is growing rapidly.

There is a new wunder kid on the block: Portugal Economy growing to the moon, while govt runs a large primary surplus and debt-to-GDP ratio drops to lowest in more than a decade. Maybe Portugal can devise an adjustment programme for Germany, which is stuck in limbo since 2018.

Sometimes, the antidote to feeling overwhelmed isn't rest. It's doing something that is fully engaging, that makes you feel alive. Such activities will knock you off of the rut of apathy. And jump start your energy and focus.

UK government borrowed £22bn last month, £13.9 billion more than last November + highest November borrowing since monthly records began in 1993 + way above City forecasts of £13bn.  Interest payments alone = £7.3bn, pushed up by higher inflation .

FBI paid Twitter $3.4m to process requests (aka taking down conservative accounts) in run up to 2020 presidential election. FBI dealt directly and regularly with Twitter execs to block accounts spreading supposed “disinformation”, inc top Twitter lawyer Jim Baker, ex-FBI.

There is a hard ceiling to how much data will ever need to be streamed: retinal resolution at 120 frames per second, compressed, for each eyeball on the planet. The seemingly-exponential growth of streamed data is gonna turn into a sigmoid as we get closer to this ceiling.

Thank you everyone for trying the Galactica model demo. We appreciate the feedback we have received so far from the community, and have paused the demo for now. Our models are available for researchers who want to learn more about the work and reproduce results in the paper.

Too many studies that apply machine learning to science & medicine employ incorrect methodologies. Many make very basic mistakes, such as not having separate training & test sets, using the test set (not a separate validation set) for feature selection, hyperparameter tuning, etc
Arvind Narayanan@random_walker

There’s a reproducibility crisis brewing in almost every scientific field that has adopted machine learning. On July 28, we’re hosting an online workshop featuring a slate of expert speakers to help you diagnose and fix these problems in your own research: sites.google.com/princeton.edu/…

Here are some of my favorite ways to use a foam roller. Hint: it doesn’t involve rolling around on one!
