[Shuyang (Kevin) Sun @Kevin_SSY]

Are we finally witnessing the GPT-3 moment for computer vision? We just dropped Vision Banana 🍌 , a vision foundation model that seamlessly unifies generation and perception by treating all vision tasks as just another image generation problem.

@BillClinton @HillaryClinton @InstituteGC @vonderleyen P.S. almost forgot - of course it wasn't war! It was an "humanitarian intervention", "limited military action", "air/millitary campaign"

[Relja Arandjelović @relja_work]

Unlike the Canadian pm, Serbs knew about the "international law" 27 years ago today when NATO attacked our country [ok, years before that too]. Lead by the likes of @BillClinton (shortly after defining the word "is", @HillaryClinton started talking to him to support bombs) and

[Relja Arandjelović @relja_work]

"we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim."

The emperor is naked. Only took "the west" decades to realize it, the rest of the world laughs (or 🤮) whenever a NATO country mentions "international law"

[Relja Arandjelović @relja_work]

@BillClinton @HillaryClinton @InstituteGC @vonderleyen They even bombed the Chinese embassy. Of course, it was a "mapping error", what a stroke of bad luck! Sounds iranian-girl-school-familiar? Don't worry, the Chinese will never forget, nor will the Serbs. In the mean time, there's a film for us all to watch https://t.co/ZDB6DNn67F

"The Department of War may use the AI System for all lawful .. The AI System will not be used to independently direct autonomous weapons in any case where law, regulation, or Department policy requires human control"

And what happens when the simply change the law and policy? 🤔

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Yesterday we reached an agreement with the Department of War for deploying advanced AI systems in classified environments, which we requested they make available to all AI companies.

We think our deployment has more guardrails than any previous agreement for classified AI deployments, including Anthropic's. Here's why: https://t.co/k1Ge2MqqPr

[Relja Arandjelović @relja_work]

@BillClinton It depends on what the meaning of the word "did" is

[jasmine sun @jasminewsun]

200+ Google and OpenAI staff have signed this petition to share Anthropic's red lines for the Pentagon's use of AI

let's find out if this is a race to the top or the bottom

We're helping AI to see the 3D world in motion as humans do. 🌐

Enter D4RT: a unified model that turns video into 4D representations faster than previous methods - enabling it to understand space and time. This is how it works 🧵

Carney’s speech summary : We the western nations screwed over other nations and lied for decades. Now Trump is screwing us over. It is unfair. I am so sad.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

This speech *is* one for the history books. But that’s less a compliment, than a coda.

Carney has given us the words to mark the end of the ‘rules-based order’…by acknowledging it never really existed.

It was a collective illusion. That now is over.

[Skanda @skandakoppula]

Thrilled to release 🎯 D4RT (Dynamic 4D Reconstruction and Tracking)!

🌟 State-of-the-art results on 4D reconstruction & tracking benchmarks
🚀 Up to 300x faster tracking and 100x faster pose estimation than prior works
📍 A simple, unified interface for tracking, depth, and pose using point-wise decoding

We have a total of 5 positions next year, 1 in Mountain View, 4 in London. If interested in motion and London, definitely reach out to Carl.

[Carl Doersch @CarlDoersch]

I plan to host a student researcher at DeepMind London, roughly May-Nov timeline, focusing on physics/motion understanding from video. Email me (see my webpage) describing what is missing from video models, and that should tell me if we're a match.

[joao carreira @joaocarreira]

I'm looking for a student researcher to work with me at Google DeepMind in London, preferably starting early next year -- topics will be around novel video model architectures / learning from a single video stream / representation learning .
