Our work to bring the power of LLMs into non-linguistic modalities. We tokenize images using frozen LLM translating them into lexical words which carry both rich semantics and fine details. This tokenization enables a diverse set of image understanding and generation tasks.

Fascinating research by Google reveals the power of Language Models (LLMs) like PaLM or GPT in tackling visual tasks using in-context learning. This novel method enables LLMs to perform image generation tasks without requiring any parameter updates. #palm #GPT4 #LLMs

Leading researchers - make sure they have agency unshackled from immediate business needs. Enable them to pursue their intrinsic motivations: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Innovation requires deep thought and reflection. h/t (Drive by @DanielPink)

@a_yakovlev @artofyakshaving @TurnerNovak 👆this. All startups are hard & need long term commitment. Working on "problem worth solving" strengthens the will to persevere. It also attracts passionate talent - increasing the probability of success @sama wrote a great blogpost about the paradox blog.samaltman.com/hard-startups

@benedictevans Matthew Claudel @MIT showed that spatial relations mater more than departmental & institutions. Researchers located in the same workspace are > 3x likely to collaborate when compared to those who are 400m apart. Collaboration further halves at 800m. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28640829/

Breaks my heart. In January 2020 we learned about the new coronavirus and didn't pay attention to the consequences. We had time to prepare and we squandered it.
