“Every #proton and #neutron in every #atom from the tip of your toes to the top of your head is shifting, shuttling, and vibrating in a collective purr within which the entire history of the universe is implicated,” Adam Frank wrote last year. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

#AI could diminish humanity by sapping the ability of human beings to do human things. The fear is that chat models may experience an intelligence explosion: #LLMs might proceed rapidly from AI to #ASI both smarter & more powerful than the smartest human beings. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Languages & The Media 2024, what an intense week with the best academics, professionals (and great friends ♥️) in #AVT I am so grateful as I learned a lot about #artificialintelligence and #chatgpt4 #llm and the state of the art of the AVT industry.
