I guess colleges have really returned to teaching practical skills. #TikTok #education

Want to be famous on TikTok? U.S. colleges are launching classes for influencers as students earn thousands per post https://t.co/PuDGj8gdZQ

Too true @marktenenholtz …

[Mark Tenenholtz @marktenenholtz]

What data scientists think they need for a good solution:

• Bigger servers
• Bigger data
• Bigger models

What they SHOULD be using for a good solution:

• A smaller model
• A deep knowledge of the data
• A debugger

Rapid iteration + solid theory + solid coding = success

Somehow the graphing of the spikes and troughs over time lends a clarity to the last two years which otherwise often seem a blur.

It also puts in starker perspective just how much more sudden & pervasive the Omicrom surge was compared to previous waves. #Datavisualization

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

The US pandemic: We know what a country-wide surge looks like (wave 5). It's clear now that wave 6 (BA.2), yet still in the works, will not resemble that

Big tech equals big moves … as of last Friday, NASDAQ 100 has moved up or down by at least 1% on 73% of trading days this year, highest share since tech bust in early 2000s

The implications warrant consideration I think.

[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

As part of our latest efforts toward ‘textless NLP,’ which aims to break free of reliance on text for training, we’ve achieved a new model that can generate chit-chat with pauses, ‘ums,’ and overlapping speech just from raw audio. Learn more: https://t.co/U0IebF9v5B

Really interesting work.

Indeed. Also one more indication of just how far private company valuations are lagging the trends seen in the public market.

@alexhanna So you will know you have reached a state of maximal work efficiency when there are only video meetings and naps.

[Jim Sanger @JimSanger]

I agree. While I fear we’re entering an era of endless debates over ‘PC’ vs ‘non-PC’ approaches at every conference, encouraging ethical reflection on societal impacts of AI/ML/DS is overdue.

[Deb Raji @rajiinio]

I'm pretty excited to see mainstream ML conferences like NeurIPS and ICLR incorporating some level of ethical reflection in reviews.

This is a step that I don't think even @FAccTConference and @AIESConf have taken yet.

Still an enormous, landmark event. And a tremendous valuation.

Looks like it will be an interesting event this year.

Some super interesting insights about a nifty Python low-code library that helps with an always challenging area of data work: time series data analysis.

@_KarenHao @techreview Well deserved. Your writing is becoming must-read content for the AI and data science community. Keep it going!

Really good post on the most important evaluation metrics. Handy to have all covered in one place.

So @emilymbender @mmitchell_ai did a thing the other day! 😀 Great chat about the ethics and implications of large language models! Thank you both! https://t.co/1ZcfyMzbyK
