Happy to be attending @NVIDIAGTC in Berlin. I started using GPUs for deep learning in 2009 as a prof at CIFAR, together with @geoffreyhinton @ylecun @Yoshua_Bengio and others. I didn’t expect it to be so big 18 years later! Well done @NVIDIAAI

It’s my last day at Microsoft AI. It was a privilege to be part of such a talented team that achieved so much in such a short time. I’m super grateful to the @bing and @Azure teams too. @satyanadella impressed me a lot: A leader that taught us to care not only about Sota, but about delivering value to communities. I believe Microsoft AI is now in a strong place and have the talent and resources to deliver value for their users in many years to come. Thank you, so long, and looking forward to my next AI adventure too, after a precious break with my family in the Argentinian Andes.

Great to see this happening in London 🇬🇧 Congratulations David and @IneffableLabs team!
BREAKING: Sequoia and Lightspeed co-lead Europe's largest seed funding round with $1.1B at $5.1B post for ex-Deepmind David Silver's Ineffable Intelligence. David is committing to giving away 100% of the money he makes from his Ineffable equity via Founders Pledge - the biggest pledge in their history and it is likely to amount to multiple billions.

We are insignificant in our universe, but we could write its most significant story. Catching up, leading LM Arena, the AI Race, competing with China or USA are such little uninspiring stories. Who wants to get out of bed for this? Our AIs will create new knowledge that will empower us through education, health, science breakthroughs, energy solutions, and undreamt technology advances. We can be the ones that spread intelligence and consciousness in our universe. Rise to a bigger story.

When it comes to hiring, I will die on this hill: With the right foundational skills, you can teach a person how to do tasks for a job. You cannot teach someone how to be a good person and a delight to work with.

As someone who emphatically places gaffer tape over just about every branded/labeled item I own, I highly support the name of this new fund.

People tend to either bring positive energy to people around them at work, or require energy from others to stay positive. Aside from specific skills, one of the things founders are desperately looking for is people who can help shoulder the positive energy burden with them.

Open source reporting shows that rather than going toe to toe with the Afghan army, which is 4 times larger, the Taliban appear to have simply told everyone *via WhatsApp* they were in control, and began assuming the functions of government #Afghanistan prestonbyrne.com/2021/08/15/…

“Your job as a leader is to take charge of your own energy and then help to orchestrate the energy of those around you.” In the past 6-weeks, I’ve admired the many facets of Gareth Southgate’s unique approach to leadership. Here are my top takeaways.
