'A contributing factor.' -@michellebrush

[Andrew Ng @AndrewYNg]

Had an insightful conversation with @geoffreyhinton about AI and catastrophic risks. Two thoughts we want to share:
(i) It's important that AI scientists reach consensus on risks-similar to climate scientists, who have rough consensus on climate change-to shape good policy.
(ii) Do AI models understand the world? We think they do. If we list out and develop a shared view on key technical questions like this, it will help move us toward consensus on risks.

I learned a lot speaking with Geoff. Let’s all of us in AI keep having conversations to learn from each other!

Some folks reached out with opportunities for engineering and related roles in health tech in case I was impacted by layoffs. Fortunately for me I was not, but wanted to pass it along. If you were impacted and are looking for a new spot, let me know and I'll make connections.

[François Chollet @fchollet]

What a difficult day. My thoughts are with all of my colleagues at Google who are impacted by the layoffs.

[Ryan Brush @ryanbrush]

@mkwhit @michellebrush Yes, in one of the finest Pizza Huts the greater Des Moines area had to offer.

You know you're with someone special when they prominently display your greatest achievement in the newly renovated home office. Love you @michellebrush!

@michellebrush @QConSF Updating my job title to "a contributing factor" now.

[Michelle Brush @michellebrush]

The night before my @QConSF talk my biggest fear is folks won't find my duck cake fail images funny.

That being said, if you want a discussion of blame, accountability, motivation, and legibility interspersed with some duck cakes, here's my talk:

Everyone at #qconsf needs to go see @michellebrush's session and talk. It'll be mind-blowing and change your life and I'm totally not trolling my spouse by posting this.

@Saboo_Shubham_ Love this quote. Here's the original since a citation seems needed here:

[Michelle Brush @michellebrush]

Some people wake up every morning and choose chaos.

You know it's going to be a good show when the band breaks out the light-up sousaphone, and DeVotchKa did not disappoint.

@VNeilley @Google Congrats and well deserved, Vivian!

@mkwhit @michellebrush BRB, commissioning an opera about how everyone should call Micah and ask him to help move stuff with his truck.

[Ryan Brush @ryanbrush]

Slightly worried about the opera @michellebrush might commission about some code I wrote 20 years ago that she had to maintain for a while...and still reminds me about.

[Dr Kate Compton @GalaxyKate]

Sure, you could post on Stack Overflow,

OR

pay 10% of your salary for a 20 person off-broadway production of "cryptodaddy47, You Are Wrong About C Pointers (and Everything Else)"

[Dr Kate Compton @GalaxyKate]

Sometimes I get frustrated when I compare arts and tech salaries, but

look

tech people

I'm not saying you are the problem
I'm saying the exchange rate is in our favor
and someone with a FAANG salary could literally commission their own opera once per year

so we should do that
