The older I get the more Stewart Brand's quote 'Science is the only news' resonates with me. It's like in all other areas of life we just go around in circles and say the same thing over and over again using different words.

The heretofore silent majority of AI scientists and engineers who
- do not believe in AI extinction scenarios or
- believe we have agency in making AI powerful, reliable, and safe and
- think the best way to do so is through open source AI platforms
NEED TO SPEAK UP !

I’ve settled on using my iPhone 15 Pro Max’s action button for flashlight.

It’s nice to be able to toggle on and off in the dark by touch only and it allows me to refer to my new iPhone as my $1,500 amateur flashlight. 👍🏻

'While Altman and Musk have stoked fears of the dangers of superintelligent AI, fears that experts have dismissed as pseudoscience, Montgomery thinks regulatory effort to rein in AI ought to focus on actionable harms, rather than unlikely hypotheticals.' thestreet.com/technology/ibm…

Great study from Harvard and Columbia for all the VCs and policy-makers out there. Even more true in AI where it's incredibly hard to start without open models & datasets.

.Elon Musk Consider following Auschwitz Memorial
where every day we commemorate the victims & educate about the tragic human history of #Auschwitz .

Auschwitz is an extremely important place where we learn what hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man and human rights…

Prediction: Getting Indian food at the mall, five minutes prior to closing, will not go down as one of my top-ten life decisions.

I've said it and will say it again:

#1 Smaller, cheaper, faster, more customized models will cover 99% of use-cases. You don't need a million dollar formula 1 to get to work everyday and you don't need a banking customer success chatbot to tell you the meaning of life!

#2 All…

I think I need to establish a new rule that I won’t do remote talks using Microsoft Teams.

It’s too stressful when it screws up, as it does often.

I read this book. Dr. Mann’s message gets more important with each passing day.

Gentle reminder that org values are expressed via promotion.

You cannot say you value something and not speak aloud that positive impact in promo.

Likewise, you can’t say “we don’t do x here” and let it slide in promo.

Promo is an extension of values.

Time to first drop of iPhone 15 Pro Max:

3 days, 6 hours.

I may be getting older, but I still got it. 📱💪🏻

Murat Beshtoev Al Gore Big Tech is not the problem.
Closed and proprietary is the problem.
Meta, IBM are Big Tech and open.
Google, Apple are Big Tech and closed.
OpenAI, Anthropic are Small Tech and closed.
Hugging Face, Mistral are Small Tech and open.

Really happy to see this IBM watsonx ad in the New York Times, celebrating our strong commitment to open source AI and our excellent Hugging Face 🤗partnership. 🙌🏻🌟

One step closer to subsidized time. Well done Harvard University 👍🏻

So impressed and grateful for Mr. Yann LeCun’s leadership on open innovation in the realm of AI.

I did not have it on my career bingo card that IBM and Meta would become critical strategic partners, but we sure are grateful for the partnership.

I’m more excited about Poolside than any tech startup right now.

Great thread by Eiso Kant 🇺🇦🕊️ on their evolving strategy for Europe/Paris as a center of gravity.

I am excited to share that I’ll be leading a career design workshop at @The New Club’s fall #WomeninEngineering Retreat in the Hudson River Valley, October 20-22! The retreat is a fully in-person, 3-day and 2-night immersive experience. 🧵

The Battle of the Sexes was played 50 years ago today.

More than a tennis match, it was a catalyst for social change & one of the most important days of my life.

We have come a long way since 1973, but we are not done yet.

Let's keep going for it.
