Enjoyed discussing #QuantumComputing in the automotive industry at the Bitkom #QuantumSummit24 exploring application areas from material science, simulations, quantum machine learning to optimization. Check out my talk: youtube.com/watch?v=2a-6y1q5… ##AIDAQ

The Transformer is a magnificient neural network architecture because it is a general-purpose differentiable computer. It is simultaneously: 1) expressive (in the forward pass) 2) optimizable (via backpropagation+gradient descent) 3) efficient (high parallelism compute graph)

We don’t fear that horses will outrun us; we use them to go farther. AI is a horse for the mind.

Glad to see this work finally coming out: Together with some 100+ of the best scientists from national labs, universities and companies around the globe, we define a vision for quantum-centric supercomputing in Materials Science. arxiv.org/abs/2312.09733

youtube.com/watch?v=zjkBMFhN… Probably the best 1h introduction to LLMs that I've seen. And after 20mins its not an introduction, its getting into cutting edge research updates updated up to this month. I had not heard of the data exfiltration by prompt injection or the recent finetuning Poisoning attacks.

🪩The @stateofai 2023 is now here. Our 6th installment is one of the most exciting years I can remember. The #stateofai report covers everything you *need* to know, covering research, industry, safety and politics. There’s lots in there, so here’s my director’s cut 🧵

Der Wind der Freiheit weht. Vielleicht auch wieder in der europäischen KI. Regulate the applications not the Research of AI.

However, in a Council's technical meeting on Thursday, 🇫🇷 & 🇩🇪 came out vehemently against ANY rules for foundation models. This opposition results from a strong push from their national champions, Mistral & Aleph Alpha respectively, which have strong political connections. 4/8

1/3 Clarke’s three laws: 1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

2/3 The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

3/3 Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

We’ve lost a giant. An incredible scholar, builder, and just a brilliant, passionate human being, and an amazing friend and advisor. #Heartbroken #RIP
Doug Lenat (1950–2023) passed away yesterday. Doug got a Stanford CS PhD in 1976 for his work at SAIL on AM (Automated Mathematician) and was Stanford faculty 1977–1982. Thereafter, Doug worked until the end on Cyc, his vision of building computers with common sense knowledge.
