This paper is one of the most astonishing feats of sustained data wizardry I have ever seen. Using data from Uber, they are able to estimate the roughness of every road in America and precisely estimate the value people place on it, and so much more. 1/

wtf.. this is mindblowing..

GoogleDeepMind just dropped Genie 3

you can generate interactive 3D world with text, navigate with keys and.. interact in real time.. AI is crazy

10 examples:

1. navigate to a car and open the door.. omg

Caved and got o1 Pro.

I asked it my favorite question to ask these models, and it gave much more interesting answers than either o1 preview or Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

They're not quite as mind-bending as I'd want -- I've seen a version of all of them except #7 -- but still better:

Ongoing thread of: Why am I working on https://t.co/Ludq1a7c4l?

🎶 We have polished, optimized, & standardized the life out of the internet, & it doesn’t feel quite as fun and alive anymore. A kind of nowhere-suburbification. 🎶

I'm not having as much fun here anymore.

This is a CT scan of Heinz’s new ketchup cap. It represents a $1.2 million engineering investment over 8 years. Here’s why it’s significant… 🧵

We've released annotated slides for a talk titled "Evaluating LLMs is a minefield". Current ways of evaluating chatbots/LLMs don't work well, especially for questions about societal impact. There are no quick fixes. More research is needed. w/ @sayashk 🧵https://t.co/6ZUh850wx3

ML-based science is facing a reproducibility crisis. We think clear reporting standards for researchers can help.

Today, we're introducing REFORMS, a consensus-based checklist authored by 19 researchers across many disciplines.

Experimenting with ChatGPT and WebAR. I was able to build this AR scene by talking to a chatbot 🤩🤩.

OK so @OpenAI's new #ChatGPT can basically just generate #AIart prompts. I asked a one-line question, and typed the answers verbatim straight into MidJourney and boom. Times are getting weird...🤯

This is one of the 🤯🤯🤯 experiments we ran on the Duolingo Retention team :

I’ve installed a projector on the ceiling above my gaming table.
Painting dynamic lighting using @Procreate onto the game or layout.
I use this for grid overlays, stats, fog of war, area of effect simulations, and for some dramatic lighting. #boardgames #conceptart #3Dprinting

Tested using #dalle for texture fixing and texturing. It is going to save us so much time, if we streamline the workflow.

[Karen X. Cheng @karenxcheng]

I used @OpenAI #dalle2 to create the first ever AI-generated magazine cover for @Cosmopolitan!! The prompt I used is at the end of the video #dalle

I recently learned a lot about mixed effects models, and since I can’t share the (confidential, boring) details of the model I built for work, I made a silly hockey example instead! A beginner’s intro to mixed effects models and running them in #rstats: https://t.co/1g5ZyfKd41

It's Valentine's Day!💖

To celebrate our love for learning, we're launching FOUR new Learners conferences today: #UXRConf, #ReOpsConf, #DesignConf and #GoodResearch.

All of these events will be hosted as hybrid experiences this June in #NYC with FREE remote viewing!🎉

23/ @FBRealityLabs Research has a poster at #IEEEVR2021 where they can estimate your eye gaze in a VR scene based on your head & hand pose.
This is just the beginning of this type of sensor fusion + ML in FB's mission to know what you're looking at for their contextually-aware AI
