David Cope: Composer, computer scientist, and pioneer of computer generated music https://buff.ly/SDkXUKc
"Cope’s work on EMI and related systems was truly original, visionary, and enormously impactful. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing." -- #MelanieMitchell

Podcast on "The Nature of Intelligence"
https://aiguide.substack.com/p/podcast-on-the-nature-of-intelligence
"Abha and I (and our producer Katherine Moncore) have put together the second season, on “The Nature of Intelligence”. I have to say that it’s been a challenge like none I’ve done before, but I’m excited about the results." -- #MelanieMitchell
I never thought I would be a podcast host, but…Abha Eli Phoboo, the director of communications at the Santa Fe Institute, recently relaunched SFI’s official podcast, Complexity, and proposed that each season, an SFI faculty member co-host the podcast with her for six episodes on a topic of their choice.
The Turing Test and our shifting conceptions of intelligence
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq9356
"Surprisingly, given the Turing Test’s broad cultural importance, there’s little agreement in the AI community on the criteria for passing, and much doubt about whether having conversational skills that can fool a human reveals anything about a system’s underlying intelligence or 'thinking status.'" -- #MelanieMitchell
On the “ARC-AGI” $1 Million Reasoning Challenge
https://aiguide.substack.com/p/on-the-arc-agi-1-million-reasoning
"ARC is a set of analogy puzzles in which the solver must infer the abstract rule underlying a small set of grid transformations, and apply that rule to a new grid." -- #MelanieMitchell #subStack
Evaluating Large Language Models Using “Counterfactual Tasks”
"In [the counterfactual task] paradigm, models are evaluated on pairs of tasks that require the same types of abstraction and reasoning, but for each pair, the content of the first task is likely to be similar to training data, whereas the content of the second task (a “counterfactual task”) is designed to be unlikely to be similar to training data." -- #MelanieMitchell
The Future of Artificial Intelligence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAiXT1mGTXc
"In this lecture, AI expert Melanie Mitchell will demystify how current-day AI works, how “intelligent” it really is, and what our expectations—and concerns—about its near-term and long-term prospects should be."
Having read (and mostly enjoyed) books by Max Tegmark, Stuart Russell, Ray Kurzweil, Brian Christian, Ajay Agrawal and Nick Bostrom in recent months, its been Melanie Mitchell (AI: a guide for thinking humans), D'Iganzio & Klein (Data Feminism) and Erica Thompson (Escape from Model Land) that I think have provided some of the most balanced and insightful perspectives on AI and data science.
