That's about 2.2*10^13 km. The last crash was on Feb 12, 2009. https://ourworldindata.org/us-airline-travel02 Dec 2024 22:20 +0000at://did:plc:c2mjfv2a7judclufinscuyid/app.bsky.feed.post/3lce5u5fzqk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/yann-lecun.bsky.social/post/3lc4mte5uyc2bAnother thing to be thankful for: the use of AI to help improve climate change models.

More accurate detection of cancers (breast, prostate, skin, brain), faster diagnosis of strokes, sepsis, heart attacks, faster MRIs, full-body in 40 minutes. Much more to come over the next years. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/11/27/ai-medicine-health-care-thanksgiving/28 Nov 2024 19:54 +0000at://did:plc:c2mjfv2a7judclufinscuyid/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbzttqchv22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/yann-lecun.bsky.social/post/3lbxoao2sy22lVideo of my chat with Gaurav Agarwal on the future of AI, world models, planning/reasoning, the limitations of LLMs, AI as an empirical science, why neural net were shunned. And how countries could jumpstart their AI ecosystem by creating top industry research labs. https://youtu.be/4V_cJX8sVeM?si=c18I_tbvlEi9B1eL27 Nov 2024 23:09 +0000at://did:plc:c2mjfv2a7judclufinscuyid/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbxoao2sy22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/yann-lecun.bsky.social/post/3lbpy4dsre42pAuto-Regressive LLMs (auto-encoders with causal transformer architectures) and BERT-style models (denoising auto-encoders with transformer archis) are smashing demonstrations of the power of self-supervised (pre-)training. But they only work for sequences of discrete symbols: language, proteins...
