Looking forward to finally seeing my edition of one of the landmark texts of Jesuit scholarship on Asian languages (the first comparative grammar of two Indian vernaculars) in print over the summer: hup.harvard.edu/books/978067…

A team led by former PhD advisee, Stuart McManus (CUHK), is creating a giant LLM of early modern European printed books, with the aim of permitting comprehensive access to Euro writing about China. McManus is a pioneer in the field of cross-cultural analytics. The age of impresssionism is over. @StuartMcmanus @ufhamilton

This 2 hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT & Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
Bookmark this & give 2 hours today, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you do this week.
