I just learned an amazing, wonderful word: verschlimmbessern.

But I'm pretty sure I could make it a tad better... https://t.co/Q1wcnheFQ3

@alexrives Congrats, Alex. This is incredibly exciting work!

[Oliver Libaw @oliverlibaw]

@1michaelgray1 @Rigga_Tony Bob is paying an even higher price : )

But, fortunately, you both still seem pretty peppy.

[Oliver Libaw @oliverlibaw]

@tydsh Congrats! Excited to see what you build.

[Oliver Libaw @oliverlibaw]

@ArmenAgha this is really impressive work, Armen. Congrats to your team.

I just tried the demo with a video of my son's soccer game and the model offered very reasonable analysis of the action. (We weren't doing that great and our team lost 0-2... )

@tokufxug amazing work!

@jeremyphoward Why are stories set in higher dimensional spaces more interesting than stories in 1D or 2D space?

Because they're so much tensor.

(Don't blame chatgpt or claude for this. It was my doing. I'll show myself out now.... )

@lauriewired @JeffDean I clicked the link and thought, "well this does seem like an unconventional tech explainer video..."

@venturetwins Hi Justine- I'm curious, too, and would love to try it out!

[Oliver Libaw @oliverlibaw]

@aashishrai3799 @CVPR this is pretty incredible. congrats!

[Oliver Libaw @oliverlibaw]

@alfcnz excited to see what you've cooked up, Alfredo!

@ylecun @elonmusk @farzyness for my money, this is the most exciting and interesting question in AI research today: what's the next step after autoregressive transformers that deliver smarter machines and more efficient learning?

[Oliver Libaw @oliverlibaw]

@measure_plan this is supercool. thanks for sharing it.

[Oliver Libaw @oliverlibaw]

@suchenzang @F_Vaggi I suspect there's also a lot of "LLM benchmarks are flawed metrics and every LLM team is probably trying to game them, so why shouldn't we?" rationalizing.

[Oliver Libaw @oliverlibaw]

@deviparikh @yutori_ai This is an excellent blog post. Please keep 'em coming!

@suchenzang I worked with Susan on a couple projects when I managed the Meta AI blog. Contra these goofballs on Blind, she did indeed know her shit.

We're proud to announce that we've raised $125M in Series C bridge funding to scale sustainable AI compute and accelerate our roadmap.

This brings our total funding to $246 million and will help us meet growing demand from global enterprise customers for our flagship AI chip, RNGD (pronounced “Renegade”).

“LG AI Research's adoption of RNGD has validated our chip’s performance and superior energy efficiency,” said Furiosa CEO June Paik. “Now we are scaling RNGD production globally to meet growing customer demand and applying learnings in the development of our next-generation chip.”

@Noahpinion The "Rabbit Abundance" agenda, despite its fluffy exterior, is a quintessential neoliberal project designed to serve corporate interests.

Though I haven't read @Noahpinion's rabbit-related tweets myself, I can confidently say ...

[Oliver Libaw @oliverlibaw]

@rasbt Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery, Sebastian. Your AI posts are always interesting and helpful. hope to see much more of them soon.

@mnolangray I think crawling along the 10, 5, or 405 are all acceptable options. Also: staring out the airplane window and thinking, “lotta generic-looking sprawl below us; we must be about to land…” when actually you’re only just passing over Rancho Cucamonga.
