For the love of god, can robotics companies please stop demoing their robots making coffee?
e.g., physicalintelligence.company/blog/pistar06
You have no idea how privileged and detached this looks.
Also: coffee making is not a technologically unsolved problem anyone should be working on.

To all the AI photo forensics out there that claim AI generated images "have no soul"
Please help me understand why this image is soulless. This is from Midjourney v5.1, no edits or anything.
Can you even tell this isn't a real photo? I don't see any obvious giveaways here.

I told @THR that AI is by definition conservative and therefore can't be truly funny. Why?
All Supervised Learning does, including your ML model-du-jour, is "average" the past to imagine the present, and that's literally what being conservative means.

I am sure we will see the usual performative concern about why there are so few women in computer science. This is why. #WomenInTech

Sad and ironic to see how the organizers of @theofficialacm @FAccTConference (with "Fairness" in its very name) are unwilling to accommodate the schedules of mothers of young children, forcing them to make impossible choices between childcare and career.

@andrei_holanda Sent! I had no idea that the DMs were closed. I don't really use twitter actively anymore. Come join us on Mastodon!

So happy to announce a new chapter written by Belinda Dunstan and myself.
I've wanted to write about this stuff for a long time, and loved working on it with Belinda during my Sabbatical.

@timnitGebru @emilymbender @OpenAI @sama I just (re-)read the thread and fine no answers to my questions about her prediction record, recent updates, or source of confidence.
I'll welcome any pointers to this information that you can provide!

Okay, I read it so you don't have to. Here's a reaction thread to @openAI / @sama 's blog post from Friday "Planning for AGI and beyond":

@vjtraver Thank you, it's a difficult rope to walk...

@guyhoffman I liked your text (was it yours, right?), and I agree. I find critically important to understand that in the educational setting it is the process that matters, not the product. I love this topic and have worked on it when assessing. No silver bullet yet though... I keep trying.

With all of the GPT talk about "the death of writing", can anyone agree with me that we should not care?

תודה לכרמל ווייסמן על אחת השיחות המעניינות שניהלתי לאחרונה על המחקר שלי. אני גם מאד אוהב את הכותרת, ומתכוון לגנוב אותה לכל ההרצאות שלי בנושא!

פרק חדש: ברובוטים האינטראקציה חשובה יותר מהאינטליגנציה. @guyhoffman מביא לרובוטיקה שיעורים מעולמות האנימציה והמשחק, תכנן את שחקן התיאטרון הרובוטי הראשון, רובוט שמאלתר ג'אז בזמן אמת וגם "נהנה" מהמוזיקה, וחקר את ההשפעות הפסיכולוגיות שיש לרובוטים על בני אדם absolutecarmel.com/ep63
