I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)

I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

@elonmusk Hard disagree.
X merely tells you that someone, somewhere, noticed something.

But then, one needs to know if this something is true or false, where it came from, what the context is, and whether it is, indeed, propaganda.

Figuring this out is what good journalists do.

Amazing use of text-to-image models like #stablediffusion to tell stories. ✨

[Björn Schiffler @bcschiffler]

Great tool!

Insights from an open source influencer

I'm often asked how I get my content, over the years I've built an unusual technology stack for it

This is really interesting. A great step towards a fully open publishing/review process. Presumably authors will also upload the final peer-reviewed version to the preprint server. At that point, the primary role of the journal is to manage the review process. #OpenScience

Swarm #AI learning, beyond federating learning, could make a big difference in #healthcare. Nice demonstration of how it can be used for #COVID19 detection

Tabular Data: Deep Learning is Not All You Need. Nice comparison betw XGBoost & recent DNNs for tabular data. Surprise?! XGboost comes out on top for most datasets (esp. those not incl in the DNN papers). What's even better? An ensemble of XGBoost & DNNs https://t.co/GOeH3XxqV4

Reading 50 years old AI books I always find cute how people back then thought they were close to figuring out AI comparing LISP/PLANNER programs to brain/consciousness

and then I look at us now & can already feel the tender looks of 2040's AI researchers on our current DL models

A small randomized trial (N=146) of inhaled steroids for mild covid showed a significant reduction of clinical deterioration [1° endpoint (10)14% vs (1)1%]
