You are, by far, the most comprehensive, accurate and realistic visionary in the field. Of course, there are other 'luminaries' like Yann LeCun, Ray Kurzweil, Alberto Romero (The Algorithmic Bridge) etc. But no one comes close to your systematic and lucid tracking of the whole gestalt of AI! I get bombarded with calls, emails and newsletters from special interests and salesmen, and thus get quite lost by the competing claims of eminent knowledge. You are the lighthouse in the maelstrom.

The three peoples who’s words I trust most in AI:

Ray Kurzwell - a futurist who’s been in AI longer than any other person.

@dralandthompson - a scientist of intelligence, he’s data driven, and very inquisitive

And

@sama - read what he says, he’s direct, thinks way ahead

Dr Alan is the goat, his work with Leta AI is amazing. Clearest AI POV on the web

Thank you Alan. It is people like you that fuel my ongoing excitement and interest in learning all I can in relation to AI. Your passion for this research shines through unlike a lot of my academic friends who are extremely dry. It never is amazing to these sorts until it really is. Keep up the amazing work.

All signal and no noise. Great work Alan!

Si alguien se pregunta como rinde una IA respecto un humano a la hora de resolver exámenes y tests de inteligencia. Este vídeo del @dralandthompson es una pequeña joya.

これって全大学の入試もパスして医者で弁護士で会計士でもある画家っていう全部入りさんの登場だよね。
こんな秘書を皆が持ってディレクションするが仕事の今年からの未来。

qué alimenta la caja negra de IAs como el famosísimo Chat GPT?

TLDR: entradas de wikipedia, libros, revistas académicas, posts en reddit, más...

en qué porcentajes? cómo varían según modelos de lenguaje?

gracias @dralandthompson!

very very good job as usual, sharing such top notch curated quality content, so quickly, makes Alan a major actor in the quest of AI democratization. Thank you !

The highly anticipated AI roundup from Dr Alan D. Thompson (@dralandthompson) just came out. You may know him from his @synthesiaIO powered videos where he speaks to GPT3 (Must Watch!)

Also a Former Chairman of Mensa AND Former Head of Sound to Andrew Lloyd Webber

My fav parts:

Phenomenal work by @dralandthompson in cataloguing and describing the large language models produced by the #AI community so far.

thanks for introducing me to text to prompt ai on your YouTube channel. I am an artist who uses photoshop in unique ways. But I feel, as if a child again, a new medium.

In a few hours …

Thx brother! Dennis

Dear Alan,

I am absolutely fascinated by what is going on in AI right now. You have restored my sense of wonder and faith in a bright and exciting future.

I am Vlad, a neuroscience graduate from Romania. I am still trying to make the right next step, and I am more convinced by the day that whatever that step may be, it should involve AI. I am just beginning to grasp this field and would appreciate some indications or pointers, such as the ones provided by The Memo.

Thank you so much for everything you do!

Best,
Vlad

I have just finished watching your Leta AI YouTube series, and the accompanying videos on Gato and Dall E and so on. It is amazing stuff. I do think that your work on the Leta episodes is actually valuable, as a model of what a benevolent and emotionally aware AI persona would look like. The prompts you have devised to create “Leta” are a guide to what will be needed in the future.

Excellent Dr. Thompson. I have lived 85 years and witnessed humanity struggle through many changes but nothing since the Atom Bomb is going to affect us like the coming AI integration into our lives is going to do. I find your reporting to be clear and easy to understand.

Your advice on AI has just been so extraordinarily interesting to me! I think on my deathbed—which is hopefully many years away—I probably will remember this couple of hours!

Hello Dr.! I just want to say "Thank you so much!" for providing all the information that you do. I am able to use your videos as an effective way to convey to others the paramount social and human shift that AI is about to have on us. We knew the moment of quickening that happens with initial stages of singularity, and we are there! Right now! What an incredible time to be alive.

Dear Dr. Alan D Thompson,

I love your video content about ai development, so thanks for that!

I'm an artist & I'm really interested in tracking the progress of ai in my art work. I hope you don't mind that I used a graphic from your site about language models to date.
