“We think chatbots save us 160,000 hours a day” - alibaba. Of course at that ROI and scale, alibaba are able to invest huge huge resources into developing / scripting their bots to get to that level of coverage. I doubt many other companies are anywhere close to 95%.

The scale that alibaba operates at is insane. But it also means their ROI calculations on AI efforts are not going to be the same as most companies. Their scale mean essentially anything plausibly feasible w a marginal value would be worth investing at any cost. #mkt4intel

Uber self driving adapts driving based on turn signals of other drivers. But it wasn’t taught that turn signals indicate turning intention. It just learned it (and that sometimes people are just listening to music with their signal left on)

According to her, classifying automation of *workers* not work, assuming incremental improvement of each primitive task, no jobs replaced until 2024. But by 2027 the wage bill replaced by automation in US is $7.65T. Interesting - but seems optimistic timeline #mkt4intel #yanggang

Jack Clark from OpenAI talking about how scarily good AI is getting at generating entirely credible, well written but totally Bullshit made up content, with GPT-2. Take a look at this image - with given human generated input at top, the entire rest is artificially generated 😱🤯

Various interesting ethics discussions about AI. but I think the real ethical dilemma is how do we still allow 3D-ball style bullet points to be a thing? #mkt4intel

Fascinating discussion from Jim Keller @ intel ranging from electron leakage to efficiency of cat gif searching. All numbers at Intel are mindblowing. He has 10,000 people on his team. But I like this chart.
