Amnon Shashua’s lecture at Reichman University: A Deep Dive into LLMs and their Future Impact.

LLM is the acronym for “large language model” like GPT-3, ChatGPT, GPT-4 etc. Amnon Shashua gave an enlightening clear lecture about the repeated recent breakthroughs for LLM’s and where we stand. Here is the You-Tube link for the lecture (in Hebrew) and I will try to add a link for the slides (which are in English). Update: Here are the slides. One aspect of the story that I find mind boggling is that adding to the model the ability to program for the purpose of writing code, led also to improved language abilities! (As a matter of fact, everything about LLMs is mind boggling!) 

Two weeks ago Amnon Shasua was awarded the Israel prize, regarded as the state’s highest cultural honor. In his words on behalf of the recipients, Amnon emphasized the need to keep  the independence and stature of the Israeli court systems. Congratulations, Amnon!

Let me also mention that as part of a project (in its early stages) with Maya Bar-Hillel and Daphna Shahaf, last summer we performed several little experiments with various AI programs and below are some entertaining related Dalle-E2 pictures. Here is another intersting video where Liron Lishinsky-Fisher describes eight AI applications.
