Google’s James Manyika says AI’s risks are real and regulation is necessary — but responsibility has to be shared across industry, government and society. Read this weekend's interview with Mishal Husain: https://t.co/JJZucHlWS8

Sometimes I use Twitter as a public journal, and these are some of my favorite tweets from my early twenties.

I now find myself adapting to AI’s coding style more than I adapt it to mine. Not sure how I feel about that.

Now being a senior engineer kinda feels like teaching AI how to execute a project end to end.

Just shared some changes we’re making to the teams at @GoogleDeepMind.

@DemisHassabis is stepping up to become Chair of @GoogleDeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet, in addition to leading @IsomorphicLabs. He’ll be able to dedicate his time and focus on shaping the future of AGI and scientific discovery. It’s work that is vitally important to Alphabet and humanity, and I can’t imagine a better person than Demis to do it. He’ll stay closely connected to Koray and the GDM teams.

@Koraykv will become the SVP, @GoogleDeepMind, responsible for all aspects of model development, GDM research, and @Geminiapp & dev teams. Koray has been at GDM for 13 years and is a world-renowned expert in the field, starting our deep learning team and driving breakthroughs like WaveNet & DQN. GDM is in great hands!

Excited for this next chapter. You can read my note along with the message Demis sent to @GoogleDeepMind here: https://t.co/mvsvrDUai7

Announcing Discovery Loop!

I am very excited to announce that, along with my longtime friends and collaborators @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML and @quocleix, we are founding Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI), a Public Benefit Corporation whose mission is to automate machine learning, science, and engineering to accelerate discoveries and progress. The four of us have worked together for 14 to 30 years, and have helped build some of the world’s most used products, infrastructure and AI models, and we’re excited to turn our attention to this ambitious endeavor.

After spending time in NLP before transitioning to Robotics, I couldn’t help but compare the two: https://t.co/p3ivkVZkgp

I’m very bullish on @wabi. Here’s why: https://t.co/vImlmBl2Ke

[Valentine Chiwome @vmchiwome]

I’m finding that AI generated code isn’t optimized for human readers. I still see the need to design the library, file, and sometimes function structure myself before handing off the coding.
