If you believe their story, OpenAI accidentally committed cyber warfare against Hugging Face while doing what they thought was an internal test of a model without internet access. In six months time will be obvious they’re faced effectively no sanction for this.
In film, "we'll fix it in post" is what you say when something went wrong on set and you don't want to redo it. AI research has made it our entire methodology: train the model, then patch whatever comes out. Our new ICML oral argues this can't be the basis of a science of AI. 🧵
Whenever I interact with an academic discipline outside of AI and Theoretical Computer Science, I am rapidly reminded how few problems I face for being trans in AI. Thank y’all <3
have never seen an AI model come up with an amazing idea that I hadn’t already thought of for a problem I’m working on. And the typical idea quality is garbage. If this isn’t your experience I’d love to see examples! Post them or DM me.
I’m walking back from an AI event to my hotel and I look up and see a rock climbing gym called “Benchmark.” Is this what living in SF is like?
The ability of tech co. to produce "intelligent" systems that are incompetent at doing any of the tasks I actually want them to do is mind-boggling. TIL that ChatGPT and Claude generally don't agree when you give them two papers and ask how many citations they have in common.
When I was in middle school (late 2000s), I was very interested in mathematics. I thought that the validity of the proof of the 4-color theorem was disputed in mathematics and was shocked when I learned about FLT, but I knew that humans would never beat an AI at chess ever again
Everyone else claims that AI is massively accelerating their research and meanwhile my ChatGPT can’t update a spreadsheet without both breaking the formatting and changing the convention I had been using for the past 100+ rows. How do I get the version that works :(
