Dario is wrong.
He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market.
Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic.
Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor
@NMC_BHARAT Hi, it is practically impossible to collect original documents for NEET SS reporting from many colleges in such short notice, especially with holidays and the weekend. Is there any way to resolve this issue?
@ChrisMurphyCT You're being played by people who want regulatory capture.
They are scaring everyone with dubious studies so that open source models are regulated out of existence.
A hospital in race against time to erase and tamper with evidence of a brutal rape and murder of its own student. The state of women's workplace safety in India!
No matter how loud women scream, their voices remain not just unheard but also deviously suppressed even after death

4 बार की World Champion और मौजूदा ओलंपिक चैंपियन को हराया

मगर एक बात बताऊं,
ये लड़की अपने देश में लातों से कुचली गई थी
ये लड़की अपने देश में सड़कों पर घसीटी गई थी
ये लड़की दुनिया जीतने वाली है मगर इस देश में सिस्टम से हार गई थी 😢

The performance/memory sections are not done yet, but everything else is as much hard won debugging knowledge that I could write down from Meta's deployments of PT2. Feedback welcome!
What is an interpretable model? This term, appearing in many regulatory frameworks on AI, lacks a commonly accepted definition.
In a paper to be presented at #COLT2024 this week, we address this problem from a learning-theoretic angle.

My opinion of @elonmusk
I like his cars (I own a 2015 S, and 2023 S), his rockets, his solar energy systems, and his satellite communication system.
I also like his positions on open source and patents.
But I very much disagree with him on a number of issues.
I disagree with how he treats his scientists.
Technology/product development may not need openness and publications to advance, but forward-looking *research* sure does, whether it's in AI, neural interfaces, material science, or whatever.
Secrecy hampers progress and discourages talents from joining the effort.
I also disagree with the hype. I mean, expressing an ambitious vision for the future is great.
But telling the public blatantly false prediction ("AGI next year", "1 million robotaxis by 2020", "AGI will kill us all, let'spause",...) is very counterproductive (also illegal in some cases).
More importantly, I think his public positions on many political issues, journalism, the media and the press, and academia, are not just wrong but dangerous for democracy, civilization, and human wellfare.
Say what you want about "traditional media" but you can't really have reliable information without professional journalists working for a free and diverse press. Democracy can't exist without it, which is why only authoritarian ennemies of democracy rail against the media.
Finally he doesn't seem to hesitate to disseminate batshit-crazy conspiracy theories as long as they serve his interests (e.g. boosting "PizzaGate", "illegal immigrants corrupt elections in the US", "person X is a pedo",...).
One would expect a technological visionary to be a rationalist. Rationalism doesn't work without Truth.
This has become particularly concerning since he bought himself a platform to disseminate his dangerous political opinions, conspiracy theories, and hype.
He has been quite naïve about the difficulties of running a social network and the (legal) necessity of doing content moderation. One can claim to be a 1st Amendment absolutist, but a lot of content *must* be taken down by law, e.g. terrorist propaganda, child exploitation, blatant hate speech (in the EU and other regions).
Then, there is dangerous disinformation that puts public health in danger or corrupts the democratic process. You have to moderate that too.
Content moderation is a complicated problem whose best answer is not an attitude of total laissez-faire but a complex trade-off.
The Doomer's Delusion:
1. AI is likely to kill us all
2. Hence AI must be monopolized by a small number of companies under tight regulatory control.
3. Hence AI systems must have a remote kill switch.
4. Hence foundation model builders must be eternally liable for bad uses of their models and derived versions of it.
5. Hence open source AI must be banned.
6. But open source is popular, so we're just going to say that we are pro open source but also say we need some sort of regulatory agency to oversee it.
7. We're going to scare the hell out of the public and their representatives with prophecies of doom.
8. But we'll make sure to appear much more respectable than the most extreme doomers.
9. To look even more respectable, we'll create a one-person institute to promote AI safety.
10. We'll get insane levels of funding from well-intentioned but clueless billionaires who are scared sh*tless of catastrophe scenarios, got too rich too quickly, have too much time on their hands, but should know better.
11. We'll claim that the majority of prominent scientists agree with us, even though said scientists are an infinitesimal minority in the AI community.
We have had 400 students following the "Programming Parallel Computers" course at @AaltoUniversity@CSAalto this year, the final lecture is on Monday! If you missed the course, no worries, there will be a self-study version of the course in June!

Absolutely disgraceful. It is critical to the health of our research community that we loudly shame terrible reviewers. I don't care how good your papers might be, if you wrote this review your net contribution to science is negative and you should find a new line of work.
