I can't believe they gave my kids a snow day, but at least it made WFH extra challenging! Also it gave me an excuse to listen to some talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist to cool off! (1/10)
First was an incredible conversation with Sanmi Koyejo on the illusion of LLM "emergent behaviors" on the TWIML podcast. Koyejo takes an absolute hammer to the poor statistical framing of these behaviors through a variety of experiments. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTTE8Dp1gNo (2/10) #AI#LLMs
Next was an important talk by Shaolei Ren on designing environmentally responsible AI, explicitly integrating water usage and replenishment into optimization functions at the UC Irvine Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZiCHnGP2yY (3/10) #AI#sustainability
Next was an excellent talk by @ananny with an account of the sociotechnical nature of algorithmic errors and the implications for practitioners and policy makers at UCI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thMQR8I2oyA (5/10) #AIEthics
@bwaber I’m curious how do you build up your playlist/queue of stuff to listen to? And do you watch and listen or are you listening to only the audio of all of the mostly videos you are sharing? (I’m always struck by how many of the stuff you post sound fascinating but I don’t have a good system at the moment to save and queue them up for later viewing (and largely I rarely have time to watch videos - mostly listen to audio while doing chores/errands/exercise)
