Optimist: AI has achieved human-level performance! Realist: “AI” is a collection of brittle hacks that, under very specific circumstances, mimic the surface appearance of intelligence. Pessimist: AI has achieved human-level performance.

This is big. Nvidia is probably ahead a generation on chips, but CUDA is the moat
Now you can use bitsandbytes on AMD GPUs and Intel hardware. This is a big milestone and was a huge undertaking. @Titus_vK did an amazing job here. Eager to hear feedback! Let us know how it works for you.

More evidence Tech companies’ spending on GPUs and electricity is crowding out hiring. Hardware vs HR. H100s will become e-waste, interns will become CEOs.
Last week, the WSJ reported on the decline of tech jobs, particularly entry-level and recruiting roles, suggesting they might be gone for good. I initially thought it was exaggerated, but then saw a UC Berkeley CS professor mention that even his top students are struggling to get job offers. That’s concerning. My kid is far from college, but I’m curious—how are parents of high schoolers approaching career guidance for their kids in light of this?

I have a very particular set of skills. Skills that I have developed over a long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for 11-page pdfs like you. If you go down to 8 pages now, that will be the end of it.

Open “source” is a relic of the 90s era separation between code and executable. Retrofitting it is hopeless. The Creative Commons license family is a better model: describe aspects like open weights, protocol, data with succinct codes.
Thoughts on OSI’s *draft* open-source AI definition v0.0.9: Key question: how much information about the data needs to be disclosed to get the open-source stamp? My initial reaction was that the entire dataset must be released, but now I think this is neither sufficient nor necessary.

@thechrisperry Colab is so valuable as a teaching tool! Especially for students who can’t get anaconda to work or don’t have disk space

@arthur_spirling Moving towards that, sure, but I want them to have a base familiarity that allows them to evaluate what they’re being given
