If you haven't read this piece on language use in around AI, you definitely should. Great work from @emilymbender.bsky.social , @nannainie.bsky.social and Peter Zukerman, with solutions for what to call things we backoff to just anthropomorphising. firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph...

I am beyond honored to have been selected to give a keynote at Deep Learning Indaba: 4.August, Lagos. I will be cutting into some of the deepest issues I see in AI (hint: it's not alignment) and what I think we can do solve them.
