This. Human intelligence is very limited and biased by our physical presence and evolution. Not general at all.

In a few years, it will become more obvious to everyone that human intelligence is a very narrow type of intelligence. AGI ≠ Human intelligence #AI

It was lots of fun to give a talk in my hometown (Barcelona) this last week after many years. Thanks @friquifund for organizing and @aperianez for sharing stage with me!

Surprising to realize that even at my age (almost 50) there are many folks who want & need to make new "real" friends. I have many good friends from when I was a kid, but making new strong connections is not something you only do in your youth, it is a life long journey

It was an honor to be invited by @FCBarcelona , my (more than a) club, to talk about #digitalinnovation and #ai . It was a dream come true to watch the 5-0 win from the VIP box.Before entering the box, I was asked to remove my LinkedIn jacket, and borrow a "formal" one.

Really interesting work coming out from MSFT Research. Orca2, a 13B parameter SLM (Small Language Model) that matches (and sometimes outperforms) much larger models including ChatGPT and LlaMa2 at many tasks! How can that be?

I'd love to increase my Following count to 1k. Who should I follow that has interesting things to say in AI/ML or tech in general? +100 for minority representatives, -100 if they're radical right (i.e. Trumpers) or left (i.e. woke luminaries).

Outdoor masking in Japan is still recommended (not required). Compliance by Japanese people ~99%. Compliance by foreigners ~1% 😳

A few improvements and bug fixes to my "Advanced Prompt Engineering" post. Among other things, I added two new methods Dialog-Enabled Resolving Agents (DERA), and Expert Prompting (yeah, the one from the now infamous MIT curriculum preprint)

Also, that is why there are so many opportunities for startups to build interesting AI-first products that beat Goodle

GPT-4's remarkable abilities raise questions about AGI, consciousness, and reasoning. I dive into those, how we got here, and what it means for our future in my latest blog post:

I will say that after spending quite a lot of time with it, I am still VERY impressed. This model is SO much better than what you've seen so far, especially under the right prompting and constraints.

here is GPT-4, our most capable and aligned model yet. it is available today in our API (with a waitlist) and in ChatGPT+. it is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it.

I finally got to read the "From Google Gemini to OpenAI Q* (Q-Star): A Survey of Reshaping the Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Landscape" () that took over my feed a few days back. What a disappointment.

As a male runner on several occasions I've had to help women runners in trails who were being chased or harassed in some way, and then I think of my daughter who also goes out running occasionally 😭. This has got to stop! My hill repeats today were for Eliza #runforeliza
