Maybe on behalf of people with abundance who'd have been economically irrational actors regardless, but for people in scarcity, I don't see it (but maybe I just don't want to)
AI agents will soon graduate to fully-fledged economic actors that buy services, compute, and even data in the course of accomplishing high-level goals. 1-2 years before we start seeing this at scale.
I saw a tweet about the OAuth outage this morning and immediately forwarded it to my team with the message "how do we use this."
They did not respond for six minutes.
I sent a follow up that said "this is urgent."
They got on a call.
I told them I needed to walk into the executive meeting at 2pm looking like I had been thinking about cognitive infrastructure failover strategy for YEARS. Not hours. Years.
My head of strategy, God bless him, said "what is a cognitive infrastructure failover."
I said I don't know but the guy on Twitter seemed very upset about it so it must be important.
We spent 90 minutes building a deck.
I walked into that boardroom and I told those executives that the planet was losing IQ points every time frontier AI stuttered and that we needed a plan.
Our CEO looked at me for a long time.
Then he said "put together a task force."
I have never felt more powerful in my life.
I do not know what the task force will do.
Neither does anyone else.
That's the point.
If you're not turning random tweets into executive strategy by 9am you are already behind. 🔄
@saranormous Hah, nice! Spotted this immediately after going through the effort of searching for the podcast episode via Spotify app and adding it to my library. 😅
@burny_tech@GaryMarcus AlphaFold is 🔥 if you read Gary Marcus on AI, you would see that he repeatedly praises DeepMind for this type of work. Regarding DL: he does not "make it so" as you wrote. He advocates for higher diversity of ideas/exploration/investment around DL (neurosymbolic etc). Read first
@codeprada@svpino this. never made a search within SO, always came from a Google search results page. + given that we already have GitHub Copilot Chat (in beta but still) integrated in VS Code, this might be an uphill battle, but these 2 could land as highly complementary if done well. Let's hope.
@svpino @MrOizizo @antonioetayo +1 and Adding to @MrOizizo: The Ad should be 1) at the bottom 2) shorter 3) more visually segregated from the post (e.g. ---) 4) more targeted to the topic of the post.
Irrelevant / non-targeted Ads are the most disturbing and annoying. Made me look for an Unfollow button too.
My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user"
Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby
Can we get one step closer to more human-friendly explanations for music classifiers?
We investigated this in our latest work (w/ Francesco Foscarin, @veroamilbe, Arthur Flexer and Gerhard Widmer), accepted at #ismir2022 🥳

This is a thread about my mental health and PhD experience so far and about how I crawled out of a very deep pit of mental suffering. This is just my experience and not medical advice, but I hope it can help you or simply increase awareness.

“Jazz is about the notes you DON’T play.” He tells me.
And now I lie awake at night, tormented.
Bombarded by the ceaseless, silent melodies.
I am my own undoing.
The quiet makes it louder.
Thus I remain, forever cursed by this knowledge: I am never not playing jazz.

"My own personal axe to grind is the lack of appreciation of the skills and character traits that a conservatoire-trained musician is likely to have developed". Oh yes. This. So much this👇 https://t.co/zimDcmrl7s (h/t @sandervanmaas)
