Tried GPT-3 to explain some memes.

Used old idioms and their meaning as a prompt Image
Idiom: Talk dumb, get the thumb
Meaning: If you talk too much, you will be punished Image
Idiom: Task failed successfully
Meaning: A task that was not completed successfully, but the failure was not due to the person’s lack of effort Image
Idiom: Keep calm and carry on
Meaning: To remain calm in a difficult situation Image
Idiom: Dick Butt
Meaning: A joke name for a penis Image
Idiom: You're a simp
Meaning: You are a fool

(Hint: GPT-3 got this one wrong) Image
Idiom: Thanks, Obama
Meaning: A sarcastic expression of gratitude Image
Any other meme you want to b explained?

I, the GPT-3 conductor, is at your service.

Kicked off the 2nd batch of Turing’s Dream, the AI residency that I run in Bangalore!

Here’s what they’re upto… Image
1/ Adithya S Kolavi @adithya_s_k is a 4th year engineering student at PES.

In 2024, he set a target to achieve 10k stars across his github repositories

His most famous one is Omniparse and has 5.5k stars, it's a library that converts unstructured data into structured data for LLMs github.com/adithya-s-k/om…
@adithya_s_k 2/ Arjun Balaji @kaizen797 - 4th year engineering.

He's working with UPI team to detect money laundering using graph NNs. (it has trillion edges, so fun problem!)

He's also working with a Harvard team to map MRI images over time to 3D space to see how brain structures change!

How to achieve success without trying to shoot for it!

My notes from the #book "Why Greatness Cannot be Planned" by @kenneth0stanley and @joelbot3000

🧵 Image
1/ It’s an unconventional self-help book disguised as a computer science research exposition (that’s why the publisher is Springer).

I strongly recommend reading it.

Here is a taste of the book’s main ideas. 👇
2/ Key insight:

Objectives only work when your goal is one hop away from where you are

Turing’s Dream first batch - who is in it and what they’re upto.

🧵
1/ Praveen Chavali - @praveen_chavali is exploring the math of neural networks, and is trying to build a black box optimization method for compressing large models into smaller models.

At yesterday’s tech deep dive, he showed why GANs never converge.
@praveen_chavali 2/ Mehul Goyal - @observerforever is a former hedge fund guy who is now exploring how to model time series data using deep networks.

Yesterday, he explained the problem formulation of predicting sharpe ratio via a reinforcement learning kind of a setup. Image

How to be a messy thinker

🧵
1/ I love thinking about thinking. Give me a research paper on rationality, cognitive biases or mental models, and I’ll gobble it up.

Given the amount of knowledge I’ve ingested on these topics, I had always assumed that I’m a clear thinker.
2/ Recently, though, it hit me like a lightning strike that this belief is counter-productive.

That’s because is you “know” that you’re a clear thinker, you’re less likely to suspect that you might be missing something big in your thought process.

Why time seems to pass faster as we age.

🧵
1/ I’ve been mega-obsessed with this feeling.

A year as a 36 year old seems so much shorter as compared to when I was a kid or even as a teen.

It seems cosmically unfair - have less years to live, and each year is flying by faster.
2/ But, why is that happening?

My tentative conclusion is that it’s an unfortunate outcome of how evolution shaped our brain to be an efficient storage device.
