Computer Science is a confusing name, especially when you're deciding what to study. If Astronomy was called Telescope Science, most of us wouldn't know it deals with some of the most profound questions about the universe. Similarly, CS has little to do with actual computers.

In 2016, Pharrell Williams visited an N.Y.U. music production class to critique student songs. After he listened to a song called “Alaska” by a student named Maggie Rogers, he explained why “I have zero, zero, zero notes for that:” https://t.co/tuaZCI9X3h

Kinda insane that this entire debacle was potentially caused by @ByrneHobart's newsletter. Here's how the butterfly effect happened. 1) Byrne posts this article/Tweet calling out SVB's risk. 2) Pretty much every VC I know reads this newsletter 3) They all start to pay very,… https://t.co/fvEeP5WpKu

You can't make this stuff up: a new museum is exhibiting a post-apocalyptic world where AGI goes rogue. It's called "Misalignment Museum", and located only 8 blocks from OpenAI's office 😅 The cultural & scientific references, the witty satire, and the brilliance in the act… https://t.co/f2xpsH2Uap

We traveled to East Kalimantan to work on a few stories about Indonesia's new capital. There, we met the Indigenous Balik people, who say they are being forced from their homes to make way for the development. https://t.co/iIrab7daM2

If you spend much time on AI twitter, you might have seen this tentacle monster hanging around. But what is it, and what does it have to do with ChatGPT? It's kind of a long story. But it's worth it! It even ends with cake 🍰 THREAD: https://t.co/4KJiBCgmp3

I made a list of 10 things I know I’d regret on my deathbed. It was illuminating and inspiring. Here’s my list (and why everyone should make one):

The scientific method isn’t a ‘western’ concept. It’s universal. Indigenous, mythological, cultural or religious knowledge shouldn’t be conflated with science. Medicine or technology derived from this knowledge can work, *if* scientifically proven.

“Capitalism is artificial intelligence production. And artificial intelligence can only come from a self-propelling capitalism. You’re not understanding either if you don’t see that they’re ultimately identical.” — @Outsideness

I'm speechless. Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper. The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion. In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people's minds. Source 👇 https://t.co/sne2LhF8wZ

So many of the study techniques we learned in school were actually ineffective. Here are the result of a large meta-analysis of study techniques. You should skip highlighting, summarizing, and rereading. Instead, practice, quiz & explain. https://t.co/lTCDSLscZg AI can help! 1/ https://t.co/SkOhkZnP4p

OpenAI's leaked Foundry pricing says a lot – if you know how to read it – about GPT4, The Great Implementation, a move from Generative to Productive AI, OpenAI's safety & growth strategies, and the future of work. Another AI-obsessive megathread on what to expect in 2023 🧵 https://t.co/OUfgryMQ3z

People who mock the decline of universities in the US have no idea how bad it really is. I'm on the inside, and I can tell you the next 20 years will be more wild than you can possibly imagine. The academy is currently peeling away from reality and will be fully detached soon.
