I'm gone for 12 hours and OpenAI just tossed the whole world upside down again 🤯 Even though I'm keeping up with all the Generative AI progress, Sora is such a big jump in video generation capabilities that it feels unreal. Time for a mega thread 🔽

I had so much fun preparing this talk. Per request, here are the slides: huyenchip.com/2023/06/07/gen… The idea came from many conversations I’ve had recently with friends who need to figure out their generative AI strategy. I’d love to hear about your experience through this process.

An opinion piece by Canadian writer Stephen Marche in the Guardian against AI doomerism. He makes a few points I've made before, such as: 1. "I have heard geniuses – bona fide geniuses – declare that medical schools should no longer teach radiology because it would all be automated soon." 2. "Many of the most important engineers in the field indulge in AI doomerism [...]. But one of the defining features of our time is that the engineers [...] simply have no idea how their inventions interact with the world" 3. "The biggest anxiety – that an artificial general intelligence is about to take over the world – doesn’t even qualify as science fiction. That fear is religious." 4. "AI might well make it slightly easier to generate fake content, but the problem of misinformation has never been generation but dissemination. The political space is already saturated with fraud and it’s hard to see how AI could make it much worse." theguardian.com/commentisfre…

AI Twitter is flooded with low-quality stuff recently. No, GPT is not “dethroned”. And thin wrapper apps are not “insane”. At all. I feel obligated to surface some quality posts I bookmarked. Every one of them should've been promoted 10x, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In no particular order:

From the horse's mouth. AI will cause disruption in the labor market, but will *not* cause mass unemployment.
Yann is right. AI isn't about to cause mass unemployment. But it is about to boost productivity causing disruptions to the labor market, with winners and losers. Policymakers, managers, technologist and the rest of us need to manage this transition to create shared prosperity.

Ich fordere die verantwortlichen Politiker der Nationen dringend auf, alles in ihrer Macht stehende zu tun, um den Krieg in der #Ukraine zu beenden, ohne sich auf die Gefahr einer Eskalation einzulassen, und um den Dialog zu fördern und zu unterstützen. #Russland #Frieden

On of the methods for obtaining an illusory, apparent motion is the use of flashing colors and lights. Nothing moves in this scene.
