Audiobookworm. Working on drone regulation for the Swiss gov. since 2019. I might accidentally represent an official position but don't look for one here.

Answering by approximate retrieval or by understanding reasoning are two ends of a spectrum.
Humans are at various places on this spectrum, depending on the task, experience, and depth of understanding.
We see this in physics or math students: some will study very hard, do lots of problems, learn solution templates, and get a passing grade. Others will barely study and get top grades. The difference? Mental models that enable reasoning.
The same is true for AI. Current LLMs are pretty close to the "retrieval" end of the spectrum. They don't have good mental models.
That's what we need to work on to get to the next level in AI: mental models that can be used for reasoning.

Unfortunately , too few people understand the distinction between memorization and understanding. It's not some lofty question like "does the system have an internal world model?", it's a very pragmatic behavior distinction: "is the system capable of broad generalization, or is it limited to local generalization?"

Testing out @HeyGen_Official translation on French and German. I don’t speak either language so let me know if it sounds natural if you do.
I hope if you pay you can turn off the color correction.
It didn’t work on my phone so I had to upload on my pc.

In this Silicon Valley Bank situation, it might be worth giving a little credit to the #FDIC. Most people are talking about #SVB as a once-in-a-lifetime event. But, FDIC has gone through this 562 times in the last 22 years. Bank failures are not that rare.

All right, it's been awhile. For those still around, can you recommend anyone to follow on the topic Deep tech & Regulation? I mean no GDPR experts but from companies and regulators actively working on ML, crypto, gene editing, fusion, ... Any language, any location. 🙏🫂

If, like me, you had never heard of this concept, it is well worth investing 30 minutes to listen to this episode. This is a very powerful framework to guide our actions.

So our unit has launched a podcast. I had the privilege of being @iamaneye's first guest. The episode might be a bit technical but it's a great way to understand how a federal office can actively support innovation: anchor.fm/foca-admin

What we are living is not a black swan, unfortunately. It was expected by many epidemiologists. This book helped me understand why: goodreads.com/book/show/4018…

Good news for those thinking of buying oil on the cheap. This old story about my attempt to buy a barrel of crude is now free to read so you can learn exactly why that's a bad idea.
