NYU Professor FORBIDDEN From Teaching About Current Propaganda!

NYU professor Mark Crispin Miller has for many years taught a course on propaganda without incident. But when he began asking students to investigate modern-day propaganda they experienced...

This rabbit hole may lead to the nullification of defamation lawsuits.

An #NYU professor with 560,000 followers says he's been locked out of his X account for over 2 weeks after declining to meet with Elon #Musk

Three #headstones of the Bragaw #family in the Reformed #church of Newtown in #elmhurst #queens #nyc The Bragaws were a prominent family in the #newyorkcity area. Some of their papers are in the #collection of #NYU. I could not get closer to the headstones as the #cemetery was fenced and locked. #TombTuesday

Un chip è stato realizzato utilizzando ChatGPT. I limiti delle AI li stiamo appena assaporando

I #ricercatori della New York University (#NYU) hanno #progettato e prodotto un #chip semiconduttore senza utilizzare il linguaggio di descrizione #HDL.

Hanno parlato con #ChatGPT in un inglese semplice, spiegandogli come sarebbe dovuto funzionare un processore a semiconduttore. ChatGPT, a sua volta, li ha aiutati a definire #geometria e il #layout degli elementi del chip.

Next was an excellent panel on how the law will handle #GenerativeAI at the #NYU School of #Law with Amy Adler, Esha Bhandari, Annie Dorsen, Andy Gass, @dreamword, and Kristina Kashtanova. This is pre-Warhol decision, but the varied perspectives on how existing law applies to these systems and how the law should evolve are still vital. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxJXPWFoYoc (8/9) #AI

Next was a fantastic panel on the state of arbitration in employment and consumer contracts at the #NYU School of #Law with Maria Glover, Travis Lenkner, and Judith Resnick. The discussion on mass arbitration in the gig economy was particularly fascinating, highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNrS18MoAr0 (6/9) #GigWorkers #labor

The Guardian listaa Sanna Marinin NYU-puheen yhdeksi tämän vuoden parhaista valmistujaispuheista.

New York City Moves to Regulate How #AI Is Used in #Hiring

“Until you try to regulate, you won’t learn how,” said Julia Stoyanovich, director of the Center for Responsible A.I. at New York University.

Onneksi ei käytä #SuomiTwitter iä.

Voi vaan kuvitella sen eilisen mölinän ja öyhötyksen siitä, että Marin sai #NYU:n kunniatohtoriuden, ja heti perään tämä:

#SannaMarin osallistuu #Bilderberg-tapaamiseen.

Puhumattakaan #Orpo n ahistuksesta, kun tietää, ettei pääse lähellekään niitä tasoja, suosioita ja arvostuksia, jotka #Marin on kansainvälisesti viime vuosina saanut. Ja sitten #hallitusneuvottelut rinnalla tapahtuu koko ajan kaikki tämä.

First was a fantastic talk by Alison Taylor on the past, present, and future of #ESG at the #NYU SPS Center for Global Affairs. As always, Alison incisively points out the potential of ESG as well as how most companies and investors don't understand about the approach. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJgcwHBHqjE (2/7)

Students have often asked @janna and me to create ASL courses and even an ASL Major.

Today, I asked ChatGPT-4 Plus to create a proposal -- specific to NYU and NYC -- for the creation of a major in American Sign Language, and here is the result.

MIND BLOWING!

In 3 minutes, ChatGPT-4 Plus not only created a lengthy proposal, but also created a list of courses over a four year tenure.

THE WORLD HAS CHANGED!

We are not enough.

Learning a new language can be a challenge – or it can be a bunch of fun! Janna Sweenie will teach you American Sign Language the fun way this Summer at NYU! You can register as a special student if you are not an NYU student. ASL 1 and 2 in NYC! #Deaf #ASL #SignLanguage #NYU #NYC #AI #Midjourney

Hey there, @janna is, once again, teaching American Sign Language Levels 1 and 2 this Summer at NYU!

So, if you're in the City, and you want to learn ASL fast and quick -- but never dirty! -- let me know, and I'll help you get registered as a "visiting/special student" if you are not currently an NYU student!

It's been a while since I've done an #Introduction #FollowFriday #TwitterMigration post, where I use my large follower count to more closely connect the #Fediverse :fediverse:

Please meet:

@lucianofloridi is a #Professor and #Academic in #STS #science and #technology studies, where he researches #privacy, #agency etc. One of his favourite papers of mine is where he casts "privacy as friction" - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10676-006-0001-7

@Mer__edith is President of @signalapp, formerly of @ainowinstitute@twitter.com, founded with @Katecrawford and #NYU

@lessig is also a hero of mine - a #Professor, #lawyer and political activist, proponent of #CreativeCommons licensing, and #FOSS #OpenSource advocate 🙇

@jgcarpenter is a #researcher and #scholar of #robotics #HCI and the relationships humans have with machines (check her out on the latest ep of @algfutures podcast!)

The Free Software Foundation is new to #Mastodon at @fsf - and they advocate for #FOSS, #FLOSS and #Opensource.

@PERN is #Platform Economies #Research Network, and inquires into #STS and #sociotechnical systems - they have a talk coming up soon from @xiaochang@twitter.com from #Stanford:

That's all for tonight, don't forget to post your own #ConnectionList ❤️

How can we understand often uninterpretable #DeepLearning systems like artificial neural networks?

@Neurograce (#NYU) suggested we use #neuroscience tools!

- dimensionality reduction
- latent factor modeling
- representational similarity analyses
- representation geometry
- network analyses
- encoding models
- [more]

Dr. Lindsay proposed guidelines for and side benefits of using these tools to study #AI.

Here's the #OpenAccess paper that much of the talk was based on: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2202.07035

Ida Momennejad (#Microsoft Research) presents "A rubric for human-like agents and NeuroAI"

The main take-away reinforces a recurring message at the #Philosophy of #DeepLearning #conference at #nyu

What #AI needs to be more like humans is
- #system2
- #attention
- #control

In this case, the claim is that it #LLMs need a #prefrontalCortex (https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2021.0446).

#Baby's eye-view of the world trains #AI to l#earn #English language?

In Wai Keen Vong's poster, "Grounded language acquisition through the eyes and ears of a single child", we learned how a multimodal #neuralNetwork model learned words——sometimes multiple senses of a word (like "button": the one that secures clothes and the one you press)!

Another standout poster at the #Philosophy of #DeepLearning #conference at #NYU.

#ComputerScience #ComputerVision #ContrastiveLearning #MachineLearning

Back to the #Philosophy of #DeepLearning #conference at @nyuniversity that started last night with a #debate:

Do large language models (like #GPT) require sensory grounding for meaning and understanding?

Yes: Yann LeCun (#NYU / #Meta AI), Brenden Lake (NYU), Jacob Browning (NYU)

No: David Chalmers (NYU), Ellie Pavlick (Brown / #Google AI), Gary Lupyan (Wisconsin)

I’ll be posting about the talks I can attend.
