BREAKING: The future of object detection is here! Meet YOLO-NAS, open-sourced YOLO-based architecture redefining state-of-the-art in object detection.
@robsek My guess would be that @geoffreyhinton is concerned by the unexpected set of abilities exhibited by latest chatgpt (e.g. passing “theory of mind” tests) which is shocking given the architecture.

By far the best discussion I have read -- shows how to really test GPT-3,4: On Artifice and Intelligence by Shlomi Sher link.medium.com/Di4ChhP0czb

I described some of the most beautiful and famous mathematical theorems to Midjourney. Here is how it imagined them: 1. "The set of real numbers is uncountably infinite."
@patrickmineault So GPT4 is less consistent than people are at judging if grandmothers are more similar to wednesdays or to thermostats? Is that task really probing common sense or our ability to answer a stupid question?

FrACT (Freiburg Vision Tests) now also as a WebApp. This magically avoids installing, yet you get a full app. (Nearly) all platforms! And remains free. michaelbach.de/fract/#webApp
@neuralengine Science here has been chronically under-funded compared to the UK/US - this is amazing (and quite unexpected) news.

I kind of assumed that a big driver of @elonmusk’s recent behaviour was generation of public engagement in issues relating to twitter. Banning journos stifles debate and indicates that this not so. #byebyetwitter @[email protected]
