I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I learned a lot when I started the Google Glass project. A key insight was how important human eye contact is. Removing the ability to see someone's eyes when talking with them negatively changed the entire dynamic. So, while I am impressed with Meta's new glasses, they continue the huge error (imho) of blocking eye-to-eye contact. I don't think any glasses that are dark / block you from seeing another person's eyes will have mainstream, broadly appealing success.

When Larry Page and Eric Schmidt asked me to create a new effort to win developers to Google’s platform efforts in 2007, I laughed out loud. What platform? Android hadn’t been released or disclosed, and Google Search wasn’t a developer platform at all. Eric and Larry were far-sighted in their thinking - and at the heart of their mental model was open source. When we launched Google I/O, we named the conference “I/O” because input/output was the first thing a young programmer learns (think “hello world”), and we loved the double play of the terms I/O also to encapsulate our Google way of open-source thinking. I/O would also stand for Innovation in the Open. I never thought back then that only a few years into the future, humanity would develop software that would provide reasoning and intelligence available to all. We are truly at the foothills of the singularity, as Demis likes to say. Never before has it been so important for us to innovate in the open so all of humanity benefits from this extraordinary technological breakthrough. I could say, “the sky is the limit”. An ancient text, however, says it better: Gen 11:6 “Then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them” @sundarpichai @DavidSacks @Eric_Schmitt

I watched the entire Senate hearing with RFK Jr. I need to set the record straight. And I have a message for the Senators who have presided over the mass poisoning of our children. 🧵

Argentina President Javier Milei Promotes Freedom at Davos 2024 (Full Speech) Yesterday, Milei said he wanted "to plant the ideas of freedom in a forum that is contaminated by the 2030 socialist agenda." Today, he did just that — and more: "The main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism. We're here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause."

The fact that most individual neurons are uninterpretable presents a serious roadblock to a mechanistic understanding of language models. We demonstrate a method for decomposing groups of neurons into interpretable features with the potential to move past that roadblock.

man: thank you God for giving us computers to do the hard thinking for us god: of course my child, this is what I always intended. that’s why I made them so easy to make with just lead and copper man: …you mean silicon right? god: oh no… please, don’t tell me…

I believe OpenAI's ultimate plan is to connect their Whisper voice-to-text model with ChatGPT in order to create a voice-based GPT. With the addition of plugins, we're approaching a future where AI could execute any task right from your airpods.

I gave Bing chat the following prompt: “a Tesla model 3 with a wrap that gives it red white and blue colors” Now I need to find a human artist to make this happen 😂 Great job @yusuf_i_mehdi
