Longer does not always equal better. The quality of the extended lifespan is key. But, if you could guarantee quality of life, there is still a bimodal distribution I find among my peers - "Why would you want to live forever?" and

When I worked in the office, I thought I could never work at home because I'd be too distracted. Once I started working at home, I realized that WFH is really good for me and that I'd never want to go back to the office. I suspect

I use Chromecast with Prime. Mine's from 2016 so I don't know if they stopped supporting it on newer models. Everything else though, I agree with. Big tech, like any monopoly, does not play fair.

The really awesome part about Dawn (and musicality) was how open she was to the beat and the sound. One of my favorite videos is of her dancing to Bhangra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwsTIp2KDfc

I highly recommend The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert if you like this topic. A great read that tells you about the extinction-level event that we are currently part of and, is most likely, caused by us (i.e., h

Does it matter? I'm no theologian but if the robots take over, isn't that God's will? I'd rather put my faith (and money) in ethics research and really hope that we gradually become sentient robots (by replacing parts of

Setting aside whether Deep Learning can do everything, would you want to do everything with deep learning? We don't use Quantum Physics for mechanical engineering, we use Newtonian Physics because it is at the right abstraction level f

With the improvements in speech recognition, NLP, speech generation, I wonder how long before we can quickly spin up a network of false personas simply to provide "witnesses" or verify false information, or even provide alibis.

If people using the tool come up with the same designs/artwork, it's pretty clear the tool is responsible. If people have very different outcomes using the tool, then the people are responsible. What makes it difficult is that we

A lot of people talk about minima because thats the language we have for analyzing optimization techniques. Deep Learning is still new enough that there is lots of low hanging fruit to explore including empirical approaches and applying exi

The most useful part of AI is the ETL and feature engineering. Those are also the parts that are now mostly commoditized. ML plays a minor role for most legacy companies. These companies should (and do) just white-label startup solutions as
