What happened this week in AI by Louis

Exciting news today!

We are partnering with Learn Prompting in order to help build and spread how to do prompting and become better prompt engineers, which we believe will become more and more popular, and people will even be hired for this role in the near future (do you think prompt engineering will be a real job? Join the discussion!). We plan on covering the A to Z of prompting, including great applied and comprehensive tutorials for all the large and *hot* models, as well as a fun competition coming up towards the end of the year.

Learn more about this new course and stay tuned for the fun competition with prizes — including money — in our new #learn-prompting channel on Discord!

We will use this new channel to share announcements and answer questions related to Learn Prompting. You can also reach out to @Trigaten and me at any time.

This news also comes with a new job opportunity!
We are looking for people willing to do some contract work for building learning resources with experience in one or both of the following:

• NLP (LLMs implementation & prompting).
• Image generation models (implemented stable diffusion or other image synthesis model and experience prompting (or fine-tuning) with them).

This would be a contractor role with approximately 10 hours per month of work with different fun and game-changing (mostly open-source) projects for the “learning AI” community, just like Learn Prompting. Message me @Louis B on Discord or by email for more information!

2. ChatGPT is taking over the internet. But do you know how it actually works? It’s so clever…
   Here’s an explanation using simple words (in a great Twitter thread by my friend Lior)…
3. Teaching ChatGPT about the birds and the bees
   In this article, my friend Jeremy Pinto shares a great use case of ChatGPT using it to help him code a machine learning model. He shares his experience, the model’s weaknesses and strengths, and more. Really interesting and applied article for anyone interested in using ChatGPT and practicing coding.

Towards AI Article of the week

Paper Review Monolith: Towards Better Recommendation Systems by Building Blocks

The author discusses a recently published paper: Real-Time Recommendation System With Collisionless Embedding Table. Recommendation systems are the most prevalent application of machine learning. We see them on every social media platform, streaming website, online marketplace, and many others. Despite their prevalence, there’s plenty of room for improvement in how recommendation systems are designed.
