Representatives from Comic Republic paid a visit to the Director General National Orientation Agency, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja to discuss potential collaboration opportunities.
The representatives from Comic Republic expressed their interest in working with NOA with the objective of fostering and instilling patriotism within the society, promoting Nigerian heritage, unity, social norms, educating and encouraging Nigerians to uphold national values, and championing a global and national strategy campaign on Nigeria's National Value Charter. They also expressed their interest in serving as ambassadors of the agency to educate young Nigerians on the National Value Charter.
The DG acknowledged the alignment of Comic Republic's objectives with NOA's mission, emphasizing the importance of institutionalizing values rather than mere sloganeering. He highlighted the need to create relatable indigenous characters to counter the dominance of foreign cartoons.

"A Taxonomy of AI Panic Facilitators"
A visualization of leading AI Doomers (X-risk open letters, media interviews & OpEds).
Some AI experts enable them, while others oppose them.
The gender dynamics are fucked up.
It says a lot about the panic itself.
Your thoughts?

Pro tip: if a machine learned model scores 100% on something, the metric is wrong, or the evaluation dataset is not robust, or the evaluation dataset is in the training data, or a combination of all of the above. At least in this point in time.

Ok guys, please listen. LLMs have no memory, no recall of past events, no mutable internal state. They are complicated functions that map input strings to output strings. They are incredible nonetheless, no need to overcomplicate things. And no, humans are not "maybe also that".
I think it's absolutely wild that I can literally run a fully functional AI language model at full speed on my PC with no internet connection and 0 GPU utilisation.
Insane that the same model can literally run on a cellphone.
I have to say I didn't expect this pace of progress.

LLaMA is a new *open-source*, high-performance large language model from Meta AI - FAIR.
Meta is committed to open research and releases all the models the research community under a GPL v3 license.

LLMs are still making sh*t up.
That's fine if you use them as writing assistants.
Not good as question answerers, search engines, etc.
RLHF merely mitigates the most frequent mistakes without actually fixing the problem.

I do not want to hear one more successful person in an elite profession saying "well I'm innumerate and it never harmed meeeee" when there are millions of people out there getting mugged off because they can't do simple financial calculations

Friendly reminder that the "drone army of data-entering robots" (or "people who use maths in their jobs", as I prefer to call them) are the reason you have abundant food, medical treatments that work, warm secure buildings, and the technology that screens your films

Nobody knows how LLMs or Diffusion models work.
We only know how to find them.
We call the finding process "training" because hubris.
When asked how they work, we overcomplicate describing the "training" so they nod, confused, trusting we know what we are doing.
We don't.
