New blog: A reflection on finding joy in research.
My first New Year's post, and my first Mastodon post!

It’s hard to remember what machine learning conferences were like in person, but I think that I liked them a lot better when the field was smaller. It was easier to meet new people, to talk about new ideas in small groups of talented people who were really excited by them. The culture of the field has changed from back then, in intellectual ways that you know already, but the social ways are worth reflecting on, too. Romanticizing the past is a sorry hobby for old men. I will not do that. All research communities have a callous system at their core — I’ve written about the toxic forces that drive and derail research careers — that’s always been the case.

1/ Re academic vs. industrial research. While I think that it's important that state of the art research on large models is done also in Academia, it's not because industry is "bad".
I know great people in all these companies (and also was at MSR myself).
Sometimes, events conspire to tell a story.
First, the article by @[email protected] on how covid-related surveillance tech turned into "cop shit". https://apnews.com/article/technology-police-government-surveillance-covid-19-3f3f348d176bc7152a8cb2dbab2e4cc4
Then the article about how "cop shit" surveillance tech became corporate surveillance tech: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/face-recognition-tech-gets-girl-scout-mom-booted-from-rockettes-show-due-to-her-employer/4004677/ 1/3
