It was great to speak to @chronphilanthropy.bsky.social about AI research and how it's challenging yet necessary for non-profits to work in the LLM space. Many think we should leave the field to companies, but non-profits have different values and goals and those are important. shorturl.at/8IlmF

Proud to be at the AI Action Summit representing @eleutherai.bsky.social and the open source community. The focus on AI for the public good is exciting! DM me or @aviya.bsky.social to talk about centering openness, transparency, and public good in the AI ecosystem.

update on the trip to Paris

submitted 21 days ago • 0 comments

Excited to share I’ll be in Paris Feb 5-13. Feb 6-7 I’m presenting a poster at the inaugural conference of the International Association for Safe and Ethical AI. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss open source & AI, or meet up at Rue Saint-Éleuthère (yes this is a real street).

earlier this year someone recommended Hostile Epistemology by C. Thi Nguyen to me — thank you so much! (We are probably mutuals and I'm so sorry I forgot where or with whom this interaction happened.)

“Reconciling that it’s our duty to acknowledge reality and that saving face by fooling ourselves keeps the world spinning” is a great description of what it’s like to do policy at @eleutherai.bsky.social :P Not on accident — this is already how IP law operated in tech before “genAI” became popular

follow @lu.is and you too may learn fascinating (and sometimes horrifying) ways laws already on the books shape current tech policy issues (Threads has different Mastodon interop for EU because of GDPR?!)

Here is a list of ML OSS & Open Source / Science enthusiasts I found on Bluesky 🦋 go.bsky.app/8MFcfXd Let me know if you find such people here! I'm still new here and probably the list misses many must-add people, so let's built it together💪
