The lunar eclipse tonight (or in English) is being webcast (of course) and there’s a camera right here in Bergen aimed at the moon. It’ll go live at 00:45, but the actual eclipse is from 02:06-02:35, Norway time. The moon will look crescentish for a while before and after that. Oh, and it’s a beautiful, clear night, perfect for moon-gazing.

Last night I attended the OpenAI Forum Welcome Reception at OpenAI’s new offices in San Francisco. The Forum is a recently launched initiative from OpenAI that is meant to be “a community designed to unite thoughtful contributors from a diverse array of […]
I’m thrilled to announce another publication from our European Research Council (ERC)-funded research project on Machine Vision: Gabriele de Setaand Anya Shchetvina‘s paper analysing how Chinese AI companies visually present machine vision technologies. They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive. […]
Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – […]
Having your own words processed and restated can help you improve your thinking and your writing. That’s one reason why talking with someone about your ideas can help you clarify your thoughts. ChatGPT is certainly no replacement for a knowledgable friend or colleague, […]
Like the rest of the internet, I’ve been playing with ChatGPT, the new AI chatbot released by OpenAI, and I’ve been fascinated by how much it does well and how it still gets a lot wrong. ChatGPT is a foundation model, that […]
A few weeks ago Meta released Galactica, a language model that generates scientific papers based on a prompt you type in. They put it online and invited people to try it out, but had to remove it after just three days after […]

I’m at work late on a Saturday night (I took off during the day last week, so I need to make it up.)
I am watching the eclipse in Denver now, from my office window. As the moon went under a soft charcoal shadow, fireworks sprang from somewhere near the city center. (I work in a large office buildingon the west side of town, so I see all of Denver…)
How odd it is that we need to punctuate something this quiet and lovely with fireworks and fast paced blasts. Perhaps we are still prey to ancient fears, and need to drive away the demons who are stealing our moon.
Or perhaps people just want a good time.

It would be awful if they did steal the moon…
It looked pretty cool, bloodred, but it was cold out there. So I didn’t stay out for long. No fireworks 🙂
