Super excited to announce I'll be keynoting this October at #MediaParty 2023 in Buenos Aires in my role as researcher-in-residence at Hacks/Hackers—looking forward to talking media & AI with people from across Latin America! mediaparty.org/home-en

I'm quoted in this month's WIRED! In @vauhinivara's great piece on AI co-writing, wherein she argues GPT-3.5 has "the witless efficiency of a stapler." I agree. For LLMs, words are concepts, and concepts are words—RLHF is linguistic relativity in action. wired.com/story/confessi…

Three days in, nearly 10,000 students enrolled—not a surprise with how the last year has been! Looking forward to meeting everyone!! Journalism Courses by Knight Center

The greatest of landmarks—at the Kennedy Space Center to give a talk for #CommHIT today!

Such a great two days here at the Kennedy Space Center. Thank you CommHIT for hosting the conference—and a big thank you to Jarone Lee, MD MPH & Health Tech Without Borders for inviting me to talk about language models.

Enjoying folks’ creative #journalism & #AI projects at #MediaParty 2023 in Buenos Aires. LLMs are malleable! Great for hackathons—so many untapped use cases.

Threw together a small website on Sunday: it lets you run semantic searches on documents embedded in the browser, privately. Try it out! srhm-ca.github.io/docplot/

DocPlot now supports .pdf and .docx files—I found it surprisingly simple to extract text from them. x.com/srhm_ca/status…

Here in Lithuania to give a talk on North American newsroom policies vis a vis AI—it'll be interesting to get the European perspective! Will report back with what I've learned...

And I’m on my way back to Canada! Lithuania is lovely, and I learned EU media might be less hostile to AI than I’d expect. Write-up forthcoming…

Ecstatic to announce I'll be doing a second course with Journalism Courses by Knight Center on #GenAI for journalists! Learn how to build and run useful agents on your laptop with Jupyter notebooks and LangChain—it starts in just a week! journalismcourses.org/course/generat…

My Journalism Courses by Knight Center class on building useful #genAI newsroom workflows with LangChain starts today—over 210 students! It'll be fun to see what people come up with. Registration is still open for another two weeks: journalismcourses.org/course/generat…

If you take a peek at the ngram viewer for 'think tank' there's a clear dip during the Great Recession... 🤔

AI needs journalism more than journalism needs AI: Computer History Museum has published my article (co-written with Jennifer 8. Lee) on open-source #AI with other great pieces by Google VP Richard Gingras, BIG LOCAL NEWS' Cheryl Phillips, and more! Read here: futureofnews.computerhistory.org/ai-needs-journ…

Tim Dettmers of LLM.int8() fame on quantizing MoE systems. Hoping this means Q2_K will be more competitive! It'd be a blessing for my 32GB system. x.com/Tim_Dettmers/s…

Happy new year! I've written a retrospective on early AI research to finish off the year: srhm.ca/revisiting_the… — writing it brought me to archive.org/details/bitsav… which has a treasure trove of early documents on AI research at MIT. Worth checking!

If you're interested in applying language models to cultural domains this is a great program - highly recommended! x.com/_akpiper/statu…
