Was having a chat with a friend and this came up. What’s the real reason the major voice assistants aren’t hooked up to LLMs yet? My guess is liability and safety, but maybe computational cost?

Professional update: Earlier this month, I joined @SnorkelAI as a senior applied machine learning engineer. Snorkel is a company built on technology closely related to the topics I was researching. It’s a great fit for me, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we'll do together!

@Timmyqkdwkwjs All this is shocking to me. I'm so sorry my health issues began all this. Let me follow up with the department to fully understand the situation. This doesn't seem like how I'd expect them to treat a PhD student whose advisor got sick.

Sooo... what is a good place I can find work as someone who knows how to artificial intelligence?

The energy use for training large pretrained models is worth the investment of environmental costs because they can be reused everywhere

is what I would say if there wasn’t a new giant model out every two weeks and also if we ever make one that’s not racist.

The universal challenge in machine learning research is to create a table of numbers where a new number is bold and slightly higher than the other numbers.
