I'm moving to @wzuidema. Hopefully the migration will go as smoothly as promised.

SiThis literature clock is the most wonderful thing I’ve seen in a long time. Checking the time becomes a moment of pure joy 😍
1/ Excited to share our new paper "Labor advantages drive the greater productivity of faculty at elite universities" in @[email protected] with @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]: https://scim.ag/AV
Why do faculty publication rates increase so much with prestige? Let’s go:🧵
“Any manager who falsely claims that someone reporting to them is doing excellent work or that a given role is essential, whether remote or not, will be exited from the company,” he wrote.".
What a twisted world view. Power is unhealthy for the mind...

Carl T. BergstromI've figured out what pisses me off so much about Facebook's Galactica demo.
It's not because people can use to to write bad essays for their homework. There are plenty of large language models that can do that. It's because Facebook is presenting it as something that it most definitely is not.
Facebook is selling it as a knowledge engine, a "new interface to access and manipulate what we know about the universe."
Actually it's just a random bullshit generator.
Curious about what will come out of this lawsuit about Copilot and other LLMs trained with crawled code.
"The lawsuit that could rewrite the rules of AI copyright"

And also about whether the BigCode approach (with its opt-outs) does address the main legal and ethical issues.

The lawsuit against Microsoft, GitHub and OpenAI that could change the rules of AI copyright
Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI are being sued for allegedly violating copyright law in the creation of GitHub Copilot — an AI coding assistant trained on open-source code. In an interview with The Verge, the lawyers filing the suit explain their motivations and the future of AI copyright.
This is a nice argument about Ai4Science. But I'd say it's already a very common perspective in the #DL/#NLProc/#Linguistics space.

We recently put out a position paper titled "Neurosymbolic Programming for Science"
https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.05050
... Because scientists reason more readily in symbolic terms, it is important to develop frameworks that natively inherit the both the flexibility of neural networks and the rich semantics of symbolic models.
Neurosymbolic Programming for Science
Neurosymbolic Programming (NP) techniques have the potential to accelerate scientific discovery. These models combine neural and symbolic components to learn complex patterns and representations from data, using high-level concepts or known constraints. NP techniques can interface with symbolic domain knowledge from scientists, such as prior knowledge and experimental context, to produce interpretable outputs. We identify opportunities and challenges between current NP models and scientific workflows, with real-world examples from behavior analysis in science: to enable the use of NP broadly for workflows across the natural and social sciences.

Vicki BoykisI am dead, I can’t believe this AI intro text I just got. If you thumb through it, there are all the usual suspects like breadth-first search and probability.
Then you open the first chapter and it goes HARD on the current state of things.
Then it’s back to mathematical notation like nothing happened.
