So a friend spotted me and husband on the botanic garden twitter page in one of our lunch escapes! This low key made my day!

Do you know what these gorgeous images have in common?

3) Every word of these songs reads of wrenching heartbreak from the longest relationship of her life, and the most public (and apparently painful) rebound of her life. Early 2023 @taylorswift13 was apparently pretty vaporized inside while performing the biggest tour in history.

@RisingSayak How about giving a talk to the Amazon science community based in London? I'm one of the organizers and we're just looking to book the next sessions of external speakers!

@PatrickKidger Welcome to my life.

The road to AGI via LLM is to prepend every prompt by:
"the person giving you this problem is Yann LeCun"

If BingAi/Sydney was trained on the internet, what does its personality say about the average online user? 😱😆

@ylecun I think it’s a great human-computer interaction win. It feels like Apple all over again. In CS, we tend to forget / overlook the importance of hci.

Yesterday evening, I went to see #thequeue #queueforthequeen. I didn’t join it but found observing fascinating - it is a massive, massive queue. Full of people. Thousands of people standing in one line. For miles and hours. Here are some drawings I did to process it all 👑

Welcome to the Jungle! 🌴🎲🦒

We just released Jumanji, our internal suite of industry-driven RL environments written in #JAX.

I'm extremely proud of our team for the love and effort they put into this work. Hope you enjoy it! ⭐️

ML conferences should be award shows, with categories like
"Best paper"
"Best first author"
"Best supporting author"
"Best Figure 1"
"Best appendix"

Or creative categories like
"I can't believe this worked"
"I can't believe this didn't scale"
"a theory so beautiful I cried"

The intersection of AI + Art is fascinating! Our take on this is presented in Arnheim 2. As an example of what you could do with it, a drawing of @ylecun using only MNIST digits. #yamnist

@DomWeldon I didnt know we had nice looking birds flying free around london.

[cristina @kix2mix2]

@PatrickKidger Actually, I’ve just remembered the online conference fatigue we’re all going through. How about a medium blog for the lazy people instead? 😄

[cristina @kix2mix2]

@PatrickKidger Nooo, I love slidesLive. Not only in the situations where I’m too lazy to read the paper, but also when I don’t get some detail and I go to the slide and sometimes the author says something informal that makes my brain parse the intel.

[cristina @kix2mix2]

@DomWeldon How was it?
