These AI avatars are arguably the best in the world. Which do you think is actually me: A or B? Please answer the poll below. I’m curious what percentage are fooled! Was in NYC to interview Synthesia 🎥 CEO/cofounder Victor Riparbelli and had fun making this avatar. — 👋 Hi, I’m Harper, AI educator, engineer and advisor. I have two degrees in Computer Science specializing in Artificial Intelligence from Stanford, experience teaching PhD-level AI courses there, and 4+ years building AI at Facebook / Meta

CLAWDBOT. Open-source always-on assistant. You don’t need a Mac Mini - you can run it on AWS free tier. Can confirm. First video about this. More to come ! To be clear, I’m anti-hype. Last year I didn’t report on a LOT of AI releases that were making headlines - including major ones that I got early access to - because I sensed they were overhyped, and to be honest, I was right. Claude Code feels different. Because of how phenomenal Claude Code has been, I jumped to try Clawdbot. Will report back! What do you want me to try out?

Ever wondered what neural networks are and how they work? Systems like ChatGPT use neural networks to work as well as they do. Neural networks are composed of "layers" of neurons, layers with different functions; connections between layers called "weights"; and mathematical functions called "activation functions". If you’re interested in learning about these systems, check the comments. Ultimately, the neural network structure of the model serves to visually demonstrate that it is, in fact, a complex mathematical equation. When companies release the model's weights, they are releasing a key component needed to run the model's complete equation. Without the weights, the equation is incomplete. For the math-minded: the weights of a model are the learned numbers (they are variables during training) that are then used as constants in the mathematical functions that make up the model. Neural networks are ultimately just one big, hyper-complex mathematical function, and when a model is trained, it learns the constants associated with the high-dimensional input.

Scammers and con artists are nothing new, but they are now using AI to prey on innocent people in ways that are increasingly difficult to detect. I’ve teamed up with poker champion and risk expert Liv Boeree to create this series to help educate and protect yourselves and your loved ones (share this with them!) in this rapidly-changing new world.

STANFORD AI PROFESSOR Mykel Kochenderfer: Al is *technically* a probabilistic machine, but the fact that it works as well as it does is mystifying - even to the Stanford Al profs. - - I had the best time teaching a lecture on Al ML at the HAI (Stanford Human-Centered Al Stanford HAI) Advanced Al Leadership Executive Program this week! Met some exceptional people - really enjoyed the conversations.
