(Spanish) Un placer compartir esta conversación sobre la posibilidad de emoción en IAs con Ángel Rodríguez. Gracias por invitarme a este programa!

Extremely true from @tylercowen. Not just for books, but for almost everything. Music, movies, Netflix documentaries, essays, even Twitter threads, codebases and strategy docs, PRDs, the marginal benefit to asking more questions has increased dramatically even as the cost fell.

I'll never get used to this...
if you tell claude sonnet to "ignore what you've heard and rely only on your own judgement and logic," its accuracy at counting the number of R's in "strawberry" almost triples 🤭 (and even more with a friendly introduction!)

A really cool article and video highlighting the collaboration between OpenAI and BBVA. I've said it many times but I'm still amazed by the kind of use cases that people (many of whom without technical backgrounds) are coming up with

Two things that both evolution and neural networks share in common is they both thrive on scale, and they were both once dismissed as obsolete to AI. The deep evolution moment is awaiting.
Replying to @fchollet
Similarly, there are several research directions today seen as long-abandoned failures, that are only waiting for the right amount of attention and the right level of compute scale to shine. Genetic algorithms are one of them.

Check out my latest article: How to Talk to the Business: A Brief Guide for Data Scientists and Other Animals So many AI projects never even get off the ground, not because the tech isn’t there, but because the business and tech teams just aren’t on the same wavelength. The best Data Science teams know that nailing these conversations can make all the difference. It’s not just about being a technical wizard; it’s about getting people on board and speaking their language. I pulled together some thoughts (using, as always, obscure movie references because, why not) on how to keep those conversations from derailing. Check it out. It might just help you out in your next meeting! linkedin.com/pulse/how-talk-…

There are two ways AI impacts organizations: 1) The usual way, which will take a decade to play out as organizations adjust to AI & integrate into systems 2) Via apotheosis, where AGI creates a parallel organizational ecosystem instantly Most people betting on #1. Labs bet on #2

We now have the full connectome of the fruit fly. It has 140K neurons and 50M synapses. You can explore the connectome in 3D with an online tool. This is auditory circuitry.
