A HUGE congrats to Dr.(!) Hanlin Li (Hanlin Li) and Dr.(!) Nick Vincent (Nick Vincent) for their successful thesis defenses last week! Their work on data labor and data leverage truly has tremendous potential to create an AI ecosystem that is more powerful AND more equitable.

A quick break from your AI news to bring some news of natural intelligence: Mina Virginia Hecht was born on Monday! She and her mom (and her dad) are doing well, and her older sister is thrilled to have a new bff.

Finally back to US after nearly two months! While Mexico is a great country to stay, being put under 'administrative processing' for US student visa renewal (so as to attend conferences abroad/go home), get stuck and having no clue about the length of the process is not so fun 🥲
