I am very very jealous that this family on Prince Edward Island (Canada) had a small meteor hit their sidewalk and managed to catch it on their door cam in what is likely the first audio and visual recording of a meteor strike!

I desperately want an AI that submits travel reports for me so I can get reimbursed for my $12 breakfast without spending way more of my time than that $12 is worth to do it.
Is that what's being built or what I'm being offered? Of course not.

I had exactly the same experience
Making outlines is how you study. I once had a professor in a heavily technical subject who said we could each bring one sheet of paper with notes into the final exam. I spent weeks on multiple drafts of my one sheet. By the time I finished it, I didn't need to look at it.

Amazing that google included code to let it's AI generate correctly formatted math, but not enough to generate actually correct math.

I've had really bad job luck (shortlisted numerous times but never quite getting anything) so if anyone has any spare funding for ~6-12 months for a postdoc then let me know 🔭
I'm very experienced with machine learning, software development, and working with large surveys! My CV: cv.emily.space

You know there was once a famous carpenter with long hair and some crazy ideas that turned out to be wise teachings. His name was John Carpenter and he taught us it's more fun to be stoned and play video games than work.

that ep of TNG where Data’s chest gets a crack in it from an accident on an away team and he discovers a much tinier Data that lives in his abdomen built by Dr Soong and begins to understand this smaller Data is what he conceived of as his “conscious self” and it drives a man-sized Data suit around
