If you’re still wearing a mask when you go out, please retweet this tweet. I just want to see how much common sense is still out there.

So, according to @CNNAfrica #Musk has closed the only office in Africa in Accra and provided no severance or next steps as he did in the states. Truly 🗑️ but what else do we expect? #WokeAF

Why are deep learning technologists so overconfident? aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/wh…
Hmm. This is a very good point. I need to modify how I express this. Consequences matter and “mental health” does not excuse real harm. And ABSOLUTELY does not imply harm. But harming others is different than “behaving badly.”

“mental health doesn’t excuse bad behavior” is quite literally an ableist trope that i am tired of you people repeating just bc the internet told you to someone having a disability of the brain ABSOLUTELY excuses their behavior because BEHAVIOR BEGINS IN THE BRAIN, FOOL.

Q: "At some point you'll run out of capacity." I don't get why? You can reset the same node. A: "I don't see why you'd run out of capacity: at some point you might have to forget things. We're always going to have finite agents in this very big world."

Q: More utility measures possible. What about "doing the opposite"? "Spreading the utility across the weights instead of promoting such discrepancy". A: We have more results "ablation study for our utility measure"
