A Perspective in ⁦‪@NatureAging‬⁩ discusses the Information Theory of Aging, which proposes that aging primarily stems from the loss of youthful epigenetic information that can be restored via epigenetic reprogramming to heal injury and reverse aging. 🔒 go.nature.com/3S3ApHD pic.twitter.com/CCoxStygoX

This is a completely fake video of me. The AI (HeyGen) used 30 seconds of me talking to a webcam and 30 seconds of my voice, and now I have an avatar that I can make say anything. Don’t trust your own eyes.

Its not perfect, but a two minute recording would yield better results. pic.twitter.com/HkIooCo6Zu

Mitigation Techniques Against Hallucinations – The Biggest Issue With Real World LLM Usage

The only thing holding back the widespread mass-market adoption of LLMs in the real world is their propensity to hallucinate.

While hallucination may be a feature in some use cases… pic.twitter.com/uKHZiJ6geF

One contentious debate in AI research is about the ability of LLMs to reason like a human does. While there is still a lot of uncertainty, this paper from Google has a handy chart on the kinds of reasoning tasks AIs are tested on & how they do (GPT-4 wins) arxiv.org/pdf/2312.17661… pic.twitter.com/ZGC9NFVPS8
