This is one of the most exciting (and intense) projects I've been part of - right up there with building my own startup back in my Graphflow days 13 years ago. So cool that everyone else can now see it in action!

It’s so perfect it feels orchestrated. Can’t wait for the Michael Lewis book and Aaron Sorkin film on this!
Microsoft essentially acquired the best parts of OpenAI for $0 - 2 of the original founders (Sam & Greg), now unshackled & probably with a lot more skin in the game. - A significant amount of OpenAI staff will follow Sam & Greg to the new org, some of the best people in the world. - Access to OpenAI’s existing IP due to current agreement, making it easy for this org to instantly catch up to OpenAI. - The only people left at OpenAI are decel safetyists, whom msft don’t want anyways. Sam & Greg will basically get a blank check to shoot for the moon. Microsoft is already planning >$50B of infra spend over the next few years. Somehow, Satya managed to extract an outcome that actually leaves Microsoft in a BETTER position vs last week. I’m more bullish on Microsoft than ever. What a legendary run.

ML Engineers love to say "matrix factorization for recs? What is this, 2014?" and then spend a few million dollars building something worse

Personal news! I'm joining Hugging Face 🤗. It's a community creating transparent AI models that are now powering both private and public AI, so exactly where I should be to move AI forward from its very foundations. =) Thanks to @dinabass for covering! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

NEW: in the last couple of weeks there have a *lot* of new studies out assessing vaccine efficacy, many of which have touched on the question of waning immunity. Unsurprisingly, these have prompted a *lot* of questions. Time for a thread to summarise what we do and don’t know:
