Camping, thats awesome. i love just like sleeping on the ground and doing that. thats so cool. i dont go on tiktok to make friends or have genuine connections. i go on tiktok to see a video of a puppy that i think is cute and smile. i think whats really interesting about tiktok is its not a social network. you dont connect with your friends on it. youre kind of putting things out there for the world, for anyone to see. and tiktok kind of mediates that with its own algorithm. it shows you what it...

To this entertainment viewing, view for pleasure kind of thing. camping, thats awesome. i love just like sleeping on the ground and doing that. thats so cool. i dont go on tiktok to make friends or have genuine connections. i go on tiktok to see a video of a puppy that i think is cute and smile. i think whats really interesting about tiktok is its not a social network. you dont connect with your friends on it. youre kind of putting things out there for the world, for anyone to see. and tiktok ki...

And of course, we need to do more on a whole range of other fronts. so immediately before the election is held in november, they introduced something, which they call internally the nicer newsfeed. [cecilia] twitter and facebook decided to try to slow the spread of disinformation by tweaking the algorithm behind the newsfeed. and they prioritize authoritative news sources. [sheera] places like the new york times, the wall street journal, washington post. suddenly, are surfaced more highly than n...

Algorithm and processing sensor data it seems very useful in this particular application —— ai. i do want to highlight that these are ai algorithms but they are just computers doing computer things. they sound smart when you say ai but generally it isnt something very smart, its a prosaic tool rather than a futuristic one. is doing something very useful and can help accelerate existing strategies for fighting environmental acclimate challenges with you say computers just doing computer thing...

Moved by this moment because the parents tell the story about how they didnt know how to find something that he could connect with, or people he could connect with. he connected with the rubiks cube and as he got a bit older he started connecting with others that did it as well, and they remembered a moment the first time he was receiving an award on stage with his mentor that he -- it was the first real, you know, people connection that he made. and this is his life, and its a really, really sp...

Intelligence, the supremacy of the algorithm, represents one of those transformational moments for humankind? im not sure that it does. but there is a fair chance that it will have transformative effects. it is all commonplace to compare it to the fire, or to the rise of industrial machinery starting in the 18th century. it remains to be seen whether it will be as important for our productivity and our lives, but we are already seeing some of its deep effects on how we organise our democracy, an...

This week’s Throwback Thursday is the result of a friendly algorithm.

Solution. for climate change, you stop burning carbon and it will take a while but youll end up okay and it is politically unpalatable for the oil companies but if you stop burning carbon, you solve the problem. here there isnt anything like that that i know of. the best people could come up with, i think, is that you try and give these things strong ethics. the one advantage that we have is that they didnt evolve. we made them. we evolved and we evolved in small warring tribes of harmonies. we ...

When i suddenly flipped my view. my view had been that im working on trying to make digital intelligence by trying to machke it like the brain and assume the brain is better and were starting to catch up with the brain. i started to realize that maybe the algorithm weve got is better than the brain already and when we scale it up, it will be smarter than us. >> and the fundamental reason for that, i think youve said is that computers learn instantaneously and every computer in the world if its c...

Is bound to happen. if 60,000 songs are being released every day on spotify that comes in at 22 million songs a year. do you think he has got a point? what songs are those? 22 million songs a year? thats what he says. how many have you heard? four? — possibly. so i dont get those numbers. anyone can put something on spotify. but he is saying there are only so many notes, only so many chords... by coincidence it is bound to happen. yes. so he believes that baseless claims are damaging songwriti...
