This short ep sees us tallking about data privacy, SB1047 (Californian AI bill), what a new world looks like + more Thanks for joining us were inspired by early bulletin board systems and online communities where a project that's just getting started. But our goal is to make tech more human for the public and to reduce monopolies, you can get in touch with @ thething.co and until next week. Stay curious.

In part two of the series, Victor G delves into various aspects of machine learning, including training models, the significance of data quality, the benefits of GPUs and TPUs for processing, and the concept of fine-tuning models. We also cover quantization, cosmic rays, spam detection. https://join.slack.com/t/unsupervisedl-1dv7569/shared_invite/zt-2f6cjnsw7-PJkw8iqsG26rECzat60a8Q https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrgeislinger/ https://github.com/MrGeislinger www.victorsothervector.com unsupervisedlearning.substack.com www.thething.co

Join us for a 2 part mini-breakdown on common ML terms you may have heard in your AI travels. Whether you're curious about the difference between data analysis and machine learning, want to know more about adversarial attacks, or just looking to demystify AI jargon, this episode's got you covered. Victor's stories and insights promise to light up the sometimes confusing world of AI, making it accessible and fun for everyone watching.

How do those crazy things like GPT and BERT actually work? Beyond the Lab How do we take machine learning models from the lab to real-world impact (that's where MLOps comes in). The Ethics Question Can AI detect your emotions? Should it? We're getting into the tricky territory of bias and fairness in machine learning. The Future is…Weird Where is this tech going?
