Finally done with my first blog post "The Future of Artificial Intelligence is Self-Organizing and Self-Assembling"!

Covering work from our group and others on the combination of ideas from deep learning and self-organizing systems.
Using PyTorch + NumPy? A bug that plagues thousands of open-source ML projects https://t.co/piVdQidmZH
hah yes, a favorite super common super subtle bug 🐛. Bugs in deep learning silently make results slightly worse, pays to be v distrusting & defensive: https://t.co/5lBy4J77aS
Farewell to mathematician John Conway. For us, complexity scientists, he will be remembered by the invention of the cellular automaton called the Game of Life, that inspired so many ideas about complexity, computation and life itself. @sfiscience@svalver
Happy to see @blaiseaguera and @rodneyabrooks both commenting on renewed relevance of ALife ideas for AI. Hope to see many AI people at @ALifeConf 2020 in Montreal next year!!
A few years ago, Sydney Brenner received an Honoris Causa from my University @UPFBarcelona and gave a beautiful speech, filled with good humour, on evolution, Crick, politics, religion, humanity, education, our future & the beauty of science @IBE_Barcelona https://t.co/1OS5a0c38z
I am very excited to read @stevenstrogatz's new book "Infinite Powers" and to give it to my two budding-mathematician kids as well! Steve has an amazing talent for explaining math and why it matters. Also, if you haven't read his book "Sync", you should. https://t.co/K6mKTuuy1I
“I’m taking a permanent vacation from being Benevolent Dictator for Life” - @gvanrossum. Curious to see how the community takes it from here https://t.co/J5PNaUNVqv
Releasing gradient checkpointing - a package for fitting bigger Tensorflow models onto your GPU. By trading off memory usage against a 20% increase in computation time, we’ve used this to train 10X larger models: https://t.co/MCbRWcr1bp
This is to AI as prestidigitation is to real magic.
Perhaps we should call this "Cargo Cult AI" or "Potemkin AI" or "Wizard-of-Oz AI".
In other words, it's complete bullsh*t (pardon my French).
