I’m in Barbados having a blast listening to @lawrennd talk about the atomic human — every time machine can do something that was once uniquely human, it cuts away a part of us. In the end, will there be anything left of us that is indivisible? Excited to read the book!

For years I’ve been interviewing data annotation workers who are the lifeblood of the AI industry. For years I’ve heard the same story: the platforms they work for wield total power, leaving them precarious & vulnerable to exploitation. A horrible example of this just happened 1/

WhisperKit-v0.6.0 dropped yesterday! In the demo, 200 audio files (~26 minutes) are transcribed in ~13 seconds on an M2 Ultra Mac using whisper-base. WhisperKit harnesses all available compute, roughly 60 TFlops on Mac (GPU + 2xANE). This release is our first step towards…

Really proud of our continued commitment across @cohere @cohereForAI to release state-of-art weights for research use. ✨ Excited we get to share a state-of-art model which I hope will power exciting research and critical safety work across the ecosystem. 🔥
Announcing C4AI Command R+ open weights, a state-of-the-art 104B LLM with RAG, tooling and multilingual in 10 languages. This release builds on our 35B and is a part of our commitment to make AI breakthroughs accessible to the research community. 🎉 huggingface.co/CohereForAI/c4…
I barely got to explore the limits of cmd-R and @cohere is already pushing a massive upgrade and in the open! Cohere is probably the most underrated of LLM technology providers.
⌘R+ Welcoming Command R+, our latest model focused on scalability, RAG, and Tool Use. Like last time, we're releasing the weights for research use, we hope they're useful to everyone! txt.cohere.com/command-r-plus…

This thread by Karen Hao reminds us of how we marvel at high-quality models trained on massive annotation data the same way we marvel at monuments built on slave labor and exploitation. Paying abundant wages and severance to data workers would've been a rounding error for…

@davidwhogg @soumithchintala @iaifi_news Agree, but can go further: Machine learning is IID, real life is OOD.
Simon Batzner (DeepMind), speaking @iaifi_news two days ago; “Machine learning is IID; science is OOD.” I couldn’t agree more.
💯 Scientific discovery is about at the tails of existing knowledge/data, machine learning is about the bulk of the existing data. Doesn't mean the latter cannot assist with the former, but it's highly non trivial.

Why IT Failures are endemic: Précis: Software becomes too complex for one author so it is decomposed into parts for many authors (i.e. the 'separation of concerns') but the side effect is that no-one understands how the whole system works. inverseprobability.com/2024/02/09/the… @lawrennd
Open source is one of the biggest drivers of progress in software - AI would be unrecognizable without it. However, it is under existential threat from both regulation and well-funded lobby groups. The community needs to defend it vigorously. 🧵
“Open source is indisputably one of the biggest drivers of progress in software and by extension AI. But it is under existential threat from regulation that will advantage entrenched interests. We believe that open AI is vital for research, innovation, competition, and safety.”
