#christmaslectures — Public Fediverse posts

The first lecture was ok, had some nice ideas. The teenage girl who gave a short presentation re why space billionaires are the best thing ever was quite scary though. Any more of that and I would have turned off. #science #astrobiology #ChristmasLectures #RI

Watching the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures on AI.

They're doing a good job of explaining AI/ML for kids and non-techies and not getting too sensationalist.

But they are following the modern trend of "an algorithm with data is AI". I wish we could still distinguish "machine learning algorithm" from "more generalisable intelligence".

LOVING that the #RoyalInstitution #ChristmasLectures have a mockup of #WOPR called #BrodeRick

An interesting game professor. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

This week’s Royal Institution Christmas Lecture is presented by one of the academics from work. He’s very effectively explaining what AI is and what its uses are. Great stuff from the Royal Institution, as always. #ChristmasLectures #AI

I'm hoping this year's RI Christmas Lecture will be interesting and not filled with nonsense 😕
