Recent Travel

I got back from Amsterdam yesterday after a wonderful (but short) visit to the University of Amsterdam.

Timing

For a while I had a nice daily blogging practice.

No Surprise

Don’t be surprised at OpenAI.

Timelines

We recently had a baby.

New Black Boxes

I’ve mentioned this before but it’s worth revisiting.

You can use the classic reporting questions and apply them to research.

One interesting think about the latest want of AI is the idea that a model can do it all. Typically a new development is evaluated on discrete tasks to evaluate it’s performance.

Seasons

What AI season are we in? Is it an AI winter, AI summer, etc.? Is there incentive for folks to say that the AI spring continues indefinitely as the definition of AI changes?

Slow AI

Slow food, slow productivity, what about slow AI?

Box Check

Waiting for easy things helps build muscle memory when you have to wait for hard things.
