[Music] Hey everyone. Um hope you are having a great conference. Um so I'm going to talk about uh how to run events at scale and thinking beyond accuracy or similarity.Uh so in the last uh presentation we we learned about like how to art u architect the AI applications um and then whys are important. In this presentation I am going to talk about like the importance of ewells as well as what type of ewells we have to choose when we are crafting an application. This is a bit about me.Um so I work as a lead en ...

A month ago Meta acquired Scale AI for $14B, now a16z comes out and is backing Poseidon🤔Poseidon (@psdnai):AI is moving beyond the browser and into the real world. The bottleneck? Data.Today we’re announcing a $15M seed round led by @a16zcrypto to build infra that collects, curates, and licenses high-quality data for physical AI.Incubated by and built on @StoryProtocol. https://t.co/OKnHrtTwgq ...
