@RestPoliticsUS Why can't "Caddy" @KattyKay_ and "Antony" @Scaramucci pronounce each others' names correctly?

Please welcome Chris Ford @ctford to our panel of Speakers for @Lambda_World 24!

Chris will hilariously decode birdsong into Clojure, proving once and for all that even birds are better coders than us!

"Can everyone read the code on the slide?"
"Not really."
<enlarges text> "Better?"
"No, it's still Scala."

@debasishg Depends how human vs mathematical the ideas are.

[codebar @codebar]

We've had the best time over the last week. Running our famous unconference - uncodebar - in Barcelona and Glasgow.

We absolutely loved meeting and learning from you all ❤️❤️❤️

@lastpositivist Deal.

This is also why @huggingface does not have an "ethical AI team". It's critical IMO to build up a coalition of people across the company, horizontally, who want to think about ethical AI issues + apply in their teams.

Lamento profundamente el fallecimiento de Jesús Ociel Baena. Perdimos una voz potente por la igualdad y los derechos de las personas LGBTI+.
Le magistrade luchó con arrojo por una sociedad más igualitaria, en la que la diversidad sea celebrada y todes puedan encontrar la felicidad.
Me uno a la exigencia porque se esclarezcan los hechos a cabalidad.

Given my post on the importance of open source AI - https://t.co/vLwy0vB0kF ... I'm loving the definition of an AI system by OECD, particularly as the diagram makes clear that data is part of the system - https://t.co/owi4qbQwUg - and that means training data

Even numbered product versions are better than odd numbered product versions, the opposite rule than for children.

I'm glad he managed to get through the crisis without harm to anyone.

This is one of those cases where the explanation is worse than the original problem. https://t.co/hQdUYwiXlz

[Liam Bright @lastpositivist]

The holiday was once about remembering the costs of war. The change in language around it is pervasive and pernicious.

[Kelly Clarkson @kellyclarkson]

@taylorswift13 just a thought, U should go in & re-record all the songs that U don’t own the masters on exactly how U did them but put brand new art & some kind of incentive so fans will no longer buy the old versions. I’d buy all of the new versions just to prove a point 💁🏼‍♀️

@tastapod @hmemcpy I think they're known as semilettuces.

[Chris Ford @ctford]

A good reason why "model transparency" isn't as meaningful as it seems. Give us ways of evaluating systems, don't bury us in details of how individual pieces function.

[MMitchell @mmitchell_ai]

Gentle reminder that ChatGPT is not a "model" ("foundation" or otherwise). It's a larger system, likely composed of multiple different models and traditional coded rules. Terminology is important, and breakdowns like these can happen when we lose clarity.
