Excited to share our freshly published paper "Skill-driven recommendations for job transition pathways" in @PLOSONE. @SwizzleFish, @andrei_rizoiu and I built a 'Job Transitions Recommender System' using #skills data https://t.co/XC3iGPLflj #futureofwork #economics #DataScience

@paulg The differences between the Liberal and Labor parties is Australia are trivial compared to the differences between the two major parties in the US.

@kayosports do you have a product roadmap for app development? It’s slow, the TV app is difficult to navigate, and search is well below par. Kayo charge the highest subscription fees compared to other streaming services but the Kayo app is the least user-friendly and reliable.

The anger around AI art has little to do with art. It showcases the early impact AI will have on the automation work. If it were sufficiently worse, there would be little concern but it's great & improving rapidly.

AI will likely become a major political issue of this decade.

In 1994, Jeff Bezos famously spotted a stat that made him leave his high-paying PE job to start Amazon:

💡 The Internet was growing 2300% per year.

What are the generation-defining stats of today?

I'll post a few to kick things off...

GPT-3 Embeddings by @OpenAI was announced this week.

📈 I was excited and tested them on 20 datasets
😢 Sadly they are worse than open models that are 1000 x smaller
💰 Running @OpenAI models can be a 1 million times more expensive

Trying to keep objective.
But looking at the numbers around boosters, my main concern is that the results are being absurdly undersold.
Most people are sick of COVID, sick of being told what to do, and are thinking of boosters are a nice-to-have.
They are transformative.

Graph neural networks are driving lots of progress in machine learning by extending deep learning approaches to complex graph data and applications.

Let’s take a look at a few methods ↓

[Sean J. Taylor @seanjtaylor]

<weeping tears of joy> I've been waiting for someone to solve this -- it just makes perfect sense for there to be a neural network that is trained to train neural networks.
