This is partly how OpenAI snagged many of DeepMind’s top LLM engineers in ‘21-‘22. DeepMind instituted far more draconian RTO than Google meanwhile a lot of DMers being from the US had gotten used to the flexibility of being able to spend e

Weird Elon fans are downvoting you for obvious reasons but it’s literally the truth. Twitter was always a business on the precipice and since their other revenue streams have been obliterated this is the only way forward, not to profitabili

Emad is such an obvious grifter it’s honestly mad that he attracted so much VC money. He couldn’t even get his own story straight regarding his education and qualifications which should be a pretty clear disqualifying red flag from the outs

The sense of entitlement is epic. You're offended are you? Are you offended that Photoshop won't let you edit images of money too? Its not your model. You didn't spend literally billions of dollars developing it. So you can

This absolutely has happened in Asian countries, even ones which hand out death sentences for drugs. Duterte who is most famous for causing the extra-judicial murder of thousands for alleged links to the drugs trade is himself connected to

Just because he made a good thing decades ago doesn’t mean he has any clue about what is going on now. Many of us actually work in the field and are tired of the mindless hype and self promotion. LeCun is just upset people aren’t hyping his

In the 90’s and 2000’s we called it unsupervised learning. In fact there is a direct formal equivalence between many so-called self supervised learning techniques and matrix factorization. And literally no one would claim that matrix factor

LeCun is such a hack and is guilty exactly the same hype as OpenAI. Firstly his insistence on “self supervised learning” which is just a wrong and unhelpful rebranding of existing methodologies. Followed by talking about VicREG as if it’s a

Hebbian learning and backprop are not comparable and they don’t have a similar effect in any meaningful sense.

>Backprop doesn't happen in us, but I think our neurones still do gradient descent – synapses that fire together, wire together. No! Hebbian learning is categorically NOT gradient based learning. Hebbian update rules are local and n

Never one to miss a spot of self promotion. Yann is basically the new Schmidthuber at this point: irrelevant old man shouts at clouds about how he totally had an idea before everyone else. Yann is a nobody at Meta (lol at calling FAIR a top

There is nothing friendly or respectful about suggesting that people are becoming slaves to addiction and dying destitute in the streets of the richest goddamn nation on earth because of a lack of shame. I'm simply returning the courte

Its fucking wild that folks are advocating shame as a method for dealing with drug addiction in the year 2023. As if shame isn't one of the major contributing factors to the crippling opioid crisis to begin with. An astonishingly lar

What exactly are “the facts evident in the data”? For example if one were to train an LLM on HN comments aside from just learning the syntax of language, the model might be much more useful if there was a way to somehow weight utter dross l

It’s so refreshing to see someone actually write this about prompt writing. It makes an extremely refreshing change from Twitter AI influencers posting their ridiculous prose as some marvel of harnessing LLMs.

By necessity a huge part of the rendering pipeline is augmented and assisted by ML based approaches. AI models touch >50% of the frames you see in almost every film released and that number is only growing. So yeah, a pretty damn poor de

Ed Catmull is and always has been a scumbag. He was implicated in and unrepentant for his role in the wage-fixing scandal for which Disney paid a $100M settlement. He almost certainly knew about and covered-up/minimized his co-founder
