Happy birthday to Mike Joyce, born in Manchester on this day in 1963. He would go out tonight but he hasn't got a stitch to wear.

So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career. Along with @maciejwolczyk we've been training a neural network that learns how to play NetHack, an old roguelike game, that looks like in the screenshot. Recenlty, something unexpected happened.

I get what he’s saying, but… hear me out on this… what if all the people who lose their jobs due to AI, what if we gave them new jobs in some kind of pod that could harvest their energy to run more GPUs for more AI? youtu.be/i-o5YbNfmh0?si=AdCU…

The First Fleet arrived on 18 January 1788. Governor Arthur Phillip rejected Botany Bay because the Woolies there didn’t sell any Australia Day merch, choosing instead Port Jackson, which had a Coles, as the site for the new colony. They arrived there on 26 January 1788

Message to @TheSun - the “ill fan” has passed away. On behalf of Iain’s family and friends, my fellow @OfficialBWFC supporters, and football generally, I would request issue of a formal apology for this insensitive, provocative and sensationalist headline. RIP Iain 💔 @CGreenUK

🧵 The historic NYT v. @OpenAI lawsuit filed this morning, as broken down by me, an IP and AI lawyer, general counsel, and longtime tech person and enthusiast. Tl;dr - It's the best case yet alleging that generative AI is copyright infringement. Thread. 👇
