It seems that people wanting to focus on AI-for-science instead of topping LLM benchmarks don't have a place anymore in DeepMind.

Agree that I would (and do) still place my bet on them for the long term. Maybe the outcome will be a couple of good startups seeded and DeepMind _really_ focusing on LLMs now.

Today I saw one of the most talented engineers I know and worked with leave DeepMind and now I probably know part of the "why". Dark clouds hovering over Google's AI game.

German system supports wealthy individuals who are planning to stay in Germany long-term, but is horrendous for anyone without cash in the bank willing just to try something out.

For a split second there I believed there is a new Distill publication! Their articles were the most inspirational and eye-opening resource on my beginnings of ML journey, the quality of visualizations definitely made lasting impact on my mental models of _what is going on_.

My favourite goes definitely to The Building Blocks of Interpretability (https://distill.pub/2018/building-blocks/), those images landed in a lot of my university presentations and the dog made everyone immediately interested ;-)

Thanks! Although I understand there is still some specialization in each of the hempispheres, which could influence it, but I probably went too strong with my imagination here.

I'd even walk back on just calling it advertising, because we immediately think of the usual ads we see everywhere. The actual thing here might be much more subtle and worrying, you could call it undisclosed influence.

I would be interested in studies into impact of left hemisphere importantce on the right hand usage, possibly the more sophisticated and "logical" usage of our hands pressured it as well.

The rug pull on users is bound to happen and it will involve advertising.

I greatly enjoyed Pope Francis thoughts on relationship with AI, looking forward to Pope Leo publication. https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/docu...
