Everything that is not forbidden by the laws of nature is achievable, given the right knowledge. David Deutsch

Enjoyed discussing #QuantumComputing in the automotive industry at the Bitkom #QuantumSummit24 exploring application areas from material science, simulations, quantum machine learning to optimization. Check out my talk: https://t.co/5SDKYPsk36 ##AIDAQ

The Transformer is a magnificient neural network architecture because it is a general-purpose differentiable computer. It is simultaneously:
1) expressive (in the forward pass)
2) optimizable (via backpropagation+gradient descent)
3) efficient (high parallelism compute graph)

We don’t fear that horses will outrun us; we use them to go farther. AI is a horse for the mind.

[Antonio Mezzacapo @A_Mezzacapo]

Glad to see this work finally coming out: Together with some 100+ of the best scientists from national labs, universities and companies around the globe, we define a vision for quantum-centric supercomputing in Materials Science.

Probably the best 1h introduction to LLMs that I've seen. And after 20mins its not an introduction, its getting into cutting edge research updates updated up to this month. I had not heard of the data exfiltration by prompt injection or the recent finetuning Poisoning attacks.

🪩The @stateofai 2023 is now here.

Our 6th installment is one of the most exciting years I can remember. The #stateofai report covers everything you *need* to know, covering research, industry, safety and politics.

There’s lots in there, so here’s my director’s cut 🧵

Der Wind der Freiheit weht. Vielleicht auch wieder in der europäischen KI.
Regulate the applications not the Research of AI.

1/3 Clarke’s three laws: 1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

[Andre Luckow @drelu]

2/3 The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

[Andre Luckow @drelu]

3/3 Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

We’ve lost a giant. An incredible scholar, builder, and just a brilliant, passionate human being, and an amazing friend and advisor. #Heartbroken #RIP

If you cannot be corrected without being offended, then you’ll never truly grow in life.

For some reason, I needed xkcd formatting to convince my brain what Large means.

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 15 years, since 21 May 2008 (via @twi_age).

Just released! The #AIIndex2023 rounds up the latest trends in AI. This year’s report introduces more original data than any previous edition, a new chapter on AI public opinion, and more. Here are the top takeaways: ↘️ https://t.co/3qpNc2aOG9
