Cool article! I think Prof. @lawrennd.bsky.social has a crucial point here that I've been making myself. "The big worry is that we're so drawn in to big tech's narratives about AGI that we're missing the ways in which we need to make things better for people." But that's not what e/acc want.

That was incredibly relieving to me to read “motivation was problem-solving, machine learning as a means to an end” in @lawrennd.bsky.social “Atomic human”. I always felt as an impostor among colleagues who want to solve intelligence, while I just enjoy working on cool stuff.

Great FT interview with @adalovelaceinst.bsky.social’s Gaia Marcus. Love the focus on the point that government mustn’t simply leave people at the mercy of dangerous tech, forced to fend off AI harms on their own. That’s a dereliction of duty.

📢 New blog! Find our how Dr Sam Ip from @dphpc.bsky.social and @ccge-cambridge.bsky.social used funding from Accelerate and @cambridgec2d3.bsky.social to convene researchers to talk about distribution shifts in early cancer detection. Find out more: bit.ly/3YZcw7f

We test our model on the ERA5 dataset – interpolating wind on the globe from a set of points on a satellite trajectory. Our model outperforms baselines, yielding accurate and interpretable uncertainty estimates. An example predictive mean and variance is shown below. 7/n

Excited to share our ICLR 2025 oral "Residual Deep Gaussian Processes on Manifolds"! With @vabor112.bsky.social & @arkrause.bsky.social, we introduce manifold-to-manifold GPs that can be composed together, generalising deep GPs to manifolds. Applications include wind prediction & Bayes opt! 1/n

Rather like @lawrennd.bsky.social's analogy of policymaking as different forms of football. Don't just chase the ball! @bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk / @oecd-ocde.bsky.social
