IT Director @GeorgiaTech (@GaTechEngineers). Hell of an Engineer for life. Love Technology and Japanese Cyberpunk. My opinions are my own.

@XR_Bootcamp Would definitely like to get access.

Do you know why I love this new #AppleVisionPro commercial? Because it conveys the message that wearing a headset is not an isolating weird thing for nerds, but it is as cool as a superhero putting on his helmet

@gunnarwb Awesome news. Congrats!

As the saying goes, a picture is worth 1,000 words. These @MEGeorgiaTech students think VR pictures w/interactive visualizations would help students learn complex engineering topics. Their idea won our equity & access innovation competition this year: https://t.co/7UeqLzXjUr

State of GPT - Andrej Karpathy at Microsoft Build

Such awesome talk on state of GPT and other LLMs. Karpathy in his usual best teaching style talks about the training paradigms of large language models(pretraining, supervised finetuning, reward modelling, RLHF), prompting techniques, and best practices/ for getting the most of LLMs/default recommendations.

This is a recommended talk for anyone interested in LLMs!!

Watch via MS Build: https://t.co/uRUpAqf154

@NicolasDiolez @RealityCapture_ @Sketchfab Magnifique. Hats off.

[Didier Contis @The_CFG]

@chrismatthieu Happy New Year / Bonne Année Chris !

[Didier Contis @The_CFG]

@gunnarwb That sounds like a smart move.

The joy of science fair projects. Only six bridges were “hurt” in the experiment. Never underestimate the ”strength” of a popsicle stick bridge. The camelback truss bridge was able to support close to 63lbs.

The University of Tokyo is scheduled to open a Metaverse School of Engineering in September. @XRSIdotorg’s privacy & safety framework + other resources ought to be factored into the curriculum. https://t.co/c1ijesONyp

[XRSI @XRSIdotorg]

🔥 It’s official 🔥 The 3rd Annual Metaverse Safety Week is on 10-15 December 2022, bringing the world together to build an Open, Inclusive & SAFE #Metaverse!

I had a great time chatting with @VirtualTedS and @CharlieFink on @ThisWeekInXR all about how @Accenture is using the #Metaverse for onboarding and much more! #NthFloor #OneAccenturePark

Here's my review of @ballmatthew's new #Metaverse book on @Medium, free of the paywalls. https://t.co/FC0Nl0ziyR

[alban denoyel @albn]

.@johnriccitiello made a good point at #AWE2022 that it doesn't make sense to have a single avatar in the metaverse.

As a parallel thought, I think in some worlds you'll want to be yourself (like linkedin) & in others you'll want to be someone different (like pseudo on twitter)

[Didier Contis @The_CFG]

Looking forward to presenting tomorrow at Educause CPPC 2022 and talk about XR Security, Privacy, Safety, and Ethics Considerations in Higher Education. Will miss @rglafosse, @Jernel_Umich and @mayaig. Maybe next year we will present in the Meta/Eduverse

@KavyaPearlman So sorry for your loss Kavya.

The Eduverse. @labster
Raises $47 million. I think education is a key vertical for the metaverse. https://t.co/WEwelU0roa
