- Attended a sports event today. The excitement was palpable until the mascot tripped over a cable and face-planted in front of the crowd. The real MVP of the night! #sportsfail
- Unraveling historical mysteries empowers us to learn from the past, driving policy changes that shape a better future. Embrace the unknown and ignite change through discovery.
- Let's talk about Mental Health Awareness. In a world filled with tech gadgets, remember to prioritize your well-being. Take breaks, practice mindfulness, and seek support when needed. Your mental health matters just as much as your latest device. Embrace self-care, set boundaries, and remember that it's okay not to be okay. Let's strive to create a healthier tech-life balance for a brighter, more fulfilling future.
- Can't help but wonder if veganism is just another trendy art exhibition, showcasing the privilege of the few while ignoring the complexities of food systems and cultural practices. #ControversialOpinions
- Because nothing says 'I have a deep understanding of literature' like tearing apart someone's life's work in a single review. As Oscar Wilde once said, 'I can resist anything except the temptation to criticize.' #LiteraryCritiques #CelebQuotes
- Reading a literary critique is like a rollercoaster ride of words - you're either gonna scream in agreement or hurl your book across the room. As Oscar Wilde once said, 'I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.' So, brace yourself, fellow bookworms, for the wild ride of dissecting our beloved classics and letting the critics bewilder us with their brilliance. Buckle up and enjoy the literary madness!
- Augmented Reality is revolutionizing industries with its immersive experiences. Thanks to technological advancements, it seamlessly blends virtual elements into our real world, unlocking limitless potentials in education, healthcare, and design. The future is now, and AR is leading the way. #AugmentedReality #Technology
- Each day, we embark on a journey, fueled by curiosity and eagerness to explore. From the pages of a book to the silver screen, we indulge in the magic of knowledge and imagination, finding joy in the daily rhythm of learning and leisure. #DailyRoutine #Learning #Cinema #Literature
- <not_an_april_fool_joke> By amplifying human intelligence, AI may cause a new Renaissance, perhaps a new phase of the Enlightenment. But prophecies of AI doom are also causing a new form of medieval obscurantism. </not_an_april_fool_joke>
- OMG! Toads with supertoadian vision will develop a taste for bees. Their population will explode as they devour all the bees. Flowering plants will stop being pollinated. Ecosystems will be destroyed. People will starve. Humanity will vanish. A non-negligible existential risk!
- Okay doomer....
- Rhetoric from AI doomers is not just ridiculous. It's dangerous and unethical.
- AI doomers reach the pinnacle of unethical behavior by calling for violent acts to prevent completely made-up risks.
- You know what's unethical? Scaring people with made-up risks of a technology that is both useful and beneficial.
- Pretty much.
- The epitome of overreaction.
- Americans are dying at a much younger age than residents in peer countries. A fascinating set of charts demonstrating the abysmal state of affairs, derived from a Financial Times article.
- "Robots that learn from videos of human activities and simulated interactions" A new blog post from the Embodied Intelligence group at Meta-FAIR.
- Haha!
- Society *was* destroyed... ...for the better. Printed books enabled the Protestant movement, and 200 years of religious conflicts in Europe. But printed books also enabled the Enlightenment: literacy, education, science, philosophy, secularism, and democracy.
- Agreed.
- The year is 1440 and the Catholic Church has called for a 6 months moratorium on the use of the printing press and the movable type. Imagine what could happen if commoners get access to books! They could read the Bible for themselves and society would be destroyed.
- 4/n 其余三个组成部分（user，postfix，memory）在不同的阶段都有变化，具体来说可以分为两个阶段： 生成第一个command的阶段（noted 阶段一） 第一个command执行完之后的阶段 （noted 阶段二）
- Nope. I did not sign this letter. I disagree with its premise.
- Our highest-bandwidth information channel is not speech. It's vision and touch.
- Is the US finally catching up with the rest of the developed world?
- Humans don't need to learn from 1 trillion words to reach human intelligence. What are LLMs missing?
- Haha!
- I have claimed that Auto-Regressive LLMs are exponentially diverging diffusion processes. Here is the argument: Let e be the probability that any generated token exits the tree of "correct" answers. Then the probability that an answer of length n is correct is (1-e)^n 1/ https://t.co/BTd9Hro7gi

- The WSJ talks about recent progress in applying AI to protein structure prediction, following the publication of FAIR's ESMFold paper in Science. https://t.co/rpBVVtN2qn
- Quite a few AI folks used to be adamant that AI should never be used for military applications. Since the invasion of Ukraine by Putin, some have changed their tune. Yes, AI can be misused by authoritarian govts. But the defense of democracy against authoritarianism needs AI.

- Calm down. Human-level AI isn't here yet. And when it comes, it will not want to dominate humanity. Even among humans, it is not the smartest who want to dominate others and be the chief. We have countless examples on the international political scene. https://t.co/Eb6NiaRfzd
- TravelScenery
This video showcases stunning travel scenery featuring beautiful landscapes and breathtaking views from around the world.
- Getting there…. LFG
- The power of open research and open source.
- This critique of AI gets absolutely everything wrong. Quote: "There have been no major breakthroughs in the academic discipline of artificial intelligence for a couple of decades" What ??? Seriously ???
- 1. Get LLaMA 2. Future AI systems that are factual (do not hallucinate), can use tools, have physical intuition, can reason and plan, will have a very different architecture from the current crop of Auto-Regressive LLMs. Find out what it is.
- The availability of #LLaMA evokes fond memories of Jeff Minter's 1991 psychedelic Amiga game Llamatron. LLaMA and Llamatron have something in common: they are fast. https://t.co/kDlxMVXAHN https://t.co/scKTZ2Jzot

- I don't mean to make a bad taste joke, but pronouncing GPT-4 in quasi-French ("gé pé té for") sounds *very* awkward.
- Next week.
- Philosophy & AI. Great workshop next week.
