Didn't expect AI girls to show up in the LK-99's true believers X thread... Wow.
So interesting to hear about your perspectives at the conference and being reminded of the ubiquitous ‘We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.’ Such an important point when thinking about the impacts of our research but also our purpose & goals as scientists
