"The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think." -- A. Einstein (1879 - 1955)

To better enable the community to build on our work — and contribute to the responsible development of LLMs — we've published further details about the architecture, training compute, approach to fine-tuning & more for Llama 2 in a new paper. Full paper➡️ bit.ly/44JAELQ

New data confirm cruel paradox: Although US has world's best psychiatric research, we are among world's worst in providing decent mental health care. Gandhi: "True measure of any society is how it treats its most vulnerable members." We flunk- badly. cnn.com/2023/07/29/hea…

"Can mixed feelings have distinct neural signatures?" For a long time, affective science said 'no,' slowing down research about ambivalence in awe. With recent findings saying 'yes' and our unique VR-EEG-deep learning technologies, we explored this issue: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Phenomenal and incredibly cool work on the neuroscience of mixed feelings!! Film, VR, mixed feelings, brains, literally what more could you want?1

Junghoon from Connectome Lab presented his Quantum Reinforcement Learning model at IEEE Quantum Week! It learns like our brains, but uses quantum mechanics for even better decision making.🤯 He even uses new quantum measurements to unlock its full potential! #QuantumComputing

“I'd also like to acknowledge my students (…) they've gone on to do many great things. I'm particularly proud of the fact that one of my students fired Sam Altman.“ 😳🫡

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Wow. Google is cleaning up at the Nobels this year. Yesterday's prize recognized the old Google Brain and today's goes to Google DeepMind! The torch has been passed from Bell Labs.
