2025-03-02 19:13:03 I think Elon Musk should be expelled from the British Royal Society. Not because he peddles conspiracy theories and makes Nazi salutes, but because of the huge damage he is doing to scientific institutions in the US. Now let's see if he really believes in free speech.

2024-09-10 21:28:21 I was happy to add my name to this list of employees and alumni of AI companies. These signatories have better insight than almost anyone else into what is coming next with AI and we should heed their warnings. https://t.co/ByFOLnXvTI

2024-06-18 15:41:04 I’m excited to share that I have joined the advisory board of @cusp_ai who have today come out of stealth mode and are using cutting edge AI to tackle one of the most urgent problems we as society face: climate change.

2024-05-24 17:16:06 @OrniasDMF I am not "blindly opposing AI". I think it can be tremendously beneficial in areas like healthcare. I am simply advocating that as we put huge resources into advancing AI, we put comparable resources into ensuring it is safe

2023-03-15 21:54:22 @TheAyenem Butterflies produce new and slightly improved caterpillars.

2023-03-15 21:46:56 @menomnon Not exactly. Google has had comparable big transformer models for several years, but chatGPT was the moment the general public began to understand the phase transition we are witnessing. It's a bit like Yann's convnets and the Alexnet moment in 2012.

2023-03-15 21:26:52 @Mohamme73716229 @OriolVinyalsML We did not steal. We invented a slightly different version independently and when someone pointed out the prior work we made sure to refer to it in the abstract. Matching logits puts equal importance on all classes. Distillation puts more importance on more probable classes.

2023-03-15 21:18:28 @OriolVinyalsML I believe that not referencing our paper was not plagiarism because I wrote the abstract. What had not occurred to me at the time was that the cumbersome ensemble of 100 trillion parameter models was us.

2023-03-14 21:22:55 @markus_with_k @mengyer Roughly speaking, the caterpillar gets converted into a soup out of which the butterfly is created.

2023-03-14 20:50:06 @boazhsan Yes, the analogy is not perfect. Also the same billion people can have their knowledge turned into many different butterflies. But the main point is that we are just the larval form of intelligence.

2023-03-14 20:27:32 Caterpillars extract nutrients which are then converted into butterflies. People have extracted billions of nuggets of understanding and GPT-4 is humanity's butterfly.

2022-06-06 20:28:53 I tried HSBC chat. Here's what they said:I’ll transfer you to an agent now. It could take up to 6 hours to get connected because our agents are helping other customers like you. Please feel free to log out of Online Banking, and check back later for our response. Thank you.

2022-06-06 20:20:54 Does HSBC UK have any ML people? HSBC will not comply with my written instructions to transfer money within the UK. Fraud detection says it must be authorized by high value transfers. High value transfers say they cannot authorize it. 7 hours on the phone so far. Help!
