Today I start to give a basic general primer on Software-as-a-Service (Saas) with a little historical context. This is part 1 of a 2 part intro session to establish a common understanding of what we mean by SaaS. #softwareasaservice #software #applications

Today I start to introduce #technology in #FinanceServices. Over the course of a few episodes, I hope to give folks a bit more appreciation of the fundamental role that technology plays in financial markets and how the industry has been a technology pioneer, in many ways.

Today I talk about the somewhat #philosophical concept of 'The Finiteness of Experience' and how it can lead us to think of #creativity as an act of #search - in a very general sense of the word - and then I briefly relate this to an intuition about #AI / #ML. #experience #AiIntuitions

#ImageGeneration #AI is pretty astounding these days. Today I give a very high-level explanation of how #DiffusionModels work to create novel images from text descriptions to try to give curious folks some kind of intuition them. #GenerativeAI #ML

Today I briefly explore the different dimensions of #progress underpinning #GenerativeAI which, when taken together, account for how rapidly we have seen the state of the art move forward. #innovation #ai #ml

Today I talk about how #AdversarialNetworks can be used to help train #GenerativeAI models and also to catch AI-generated content in the wild. #AI #ML

Today I talk about Joseph Weizenbaum's #Eliza program, #anthropomorphism and #pareidolia #ai #ml

In my quest to try to give some simple high-level intuitions about how #AI works, today I draw an analogy between #MachineLearning and a simple exercise of fitting observations (training data) to a distribution (#neuralnetwork weights)

Today I start to explore how #GenerativeAI works to create new content, like explanations, poems and essays, at a simple conceptual level. #AI

Today, in Episode 2 of #insidephilipsbrain, I try to give some intuition about how #MachineLearning in #AI takes place. #learning #ml #herdingcattle

At risk of grossly over-simplifying, I thought I'd lay out some introductory perspectives on what #AI is, at its heart, for the purpose of trying to provide some intuition for what it is and how it works, which I will lay out in small simple chunks over the course of a few posts. Feedback welcome!

Introduction to my new video series

26 June 2020. We ran (50%) and hiked (50%) up to Cottonwood Lake in the Crazy Mountains of south-central Montana. This film was a bit of an experiment since I was using a new gimbal selfie-stick to hold the camera. Nice smooth imagery, but the gimbal made a lot of background noise (humming and creaks). I apologize for the poor audio quality due to that. I know how to use the gimbal better now, ...

21 June 2020. We bushwhacked (hiked off-trail) up Mount Delano in the Absaroka Mountains of southern Montana. I decided to bring the GoPro and make my first-ever home movie about the hike. Thanks to Emily, Leyla, and Grif for not only going on this little adventure together but also for putting up with me filming at regular intervals, slowing us down...
