Provisional ERA5 global temperature for 17th November from @CopernicusECMWF was 1.17°C above 1991-2020 - the warmest on record. Our best estimate is that this was the first day when global temperature was more than 2°C above 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial) levels, at 2.06°C.

🌎🌡📈 ΔT +2.06 °C !! This is what uncharted territory looks like. The first time that the global temperature anomaly has broken through +2.0 °C, for a single day in observational history. Much more to come in the months ahead.

Humans. Limited in intelligence, unbounded in hubris.
if you value intelligence above all other human qualities, you’re gonna have a bad time

You can tell when engineers with a passion for computer science are working on ML. This is really inspiring. Great job @AdeptAILabs time for me to wrap the C++ code in Julia :) adept.ai/blog/fuyu-8b

GPT4 is completely unable to write in iambic pentameter without rhyming couplets :)

I sometimes play with the constraints of building a big AI cluster out of consumer hardware in case datacenter regulatory oversight got silly, but I am consciously LARPing as a rebel, to contrast with the AI doomers LARPing as imperials.

LLMs will be training themselves soon because, just like with PvNP, validating that an answer is good is much easier than producing a good answer.

2023 - people start torrenting Neural Network weights like we used to torrent movies and games.

It was actually me who insisted on including such a clause into my record deals. Hail Satan.
Alex Jones says that everyone who is offered a television show or a record deal is first required to "reject Jesus Christ and pledge yourself to Lucifer."

Hotter take: ML would have advanced faster if another front-end language had been available and widely adopted instead of Python. One that is interactive yet fast & compilable, multithreaded (no GIL), isn't bloated, doesn't care about white spaces,... E.g. Julia or some Lisp.
Hot take: Machine Learning would not have been nearly as advanced now were it not for Python. Python’s two main virtues in the context of ML: 1. Lowering barriers to entry. 2. As a scripting language, it encourages and enables experimental workflow.

Whether an AI can be "factual" is an epistemological question, not a technical question.

Graph neutral networks are still in their infancy. Here's a great paper about capturing "long range" features. arxiv.org/abs/2205.12454

Yesterday, Errol (aka the rainmaker) and I premiered our video autobiography on YouTube and at the DAIR awards. Our biopic chronicles a journey that spans 360 no-scopes, compiler autodiff hints, and business value that can barely be contained. youtu.be/nuC3dfhCjIw
