@billhd @JoyceLocke Is it enough to understand the implications of making, or do you really think it is imperative to be a maker? Or what counts as making?

@zoltanmajdik Well, then, you would be gathering up all the coins of Goonies sentiments and wishes!

Woke up thinking about how the wishing well scene from The Goonies could be a powerful metaphor for AI trained on large language models. https://t.co/E7EIVWfgEW

[Misti Yang @mistiyang]

@timnitGebru You can simply see Sections 6.1 and 6.2 in the parrots paper. https://t.co/NAiByFfVnQ
We had our careers thrashed (at least in part) for writing it, so it's worth reading...
