Creator of the Keras deep-learning library and the ARC-AGI benchmark.
Side note: when we released ARC-AGI-3 in March, and frontier models scored <1% on it, a few Singularitarian poasters took it as a personal insult, and got very worked up about it. They argued the benchmark was fundamentally broken, that it could not even be solved by the smartest humans, that the max reachable score was actually 40%, etc. We had to deal with a torrent of insults and hate poasts since because we had released an unsaturated benchmark. As it turns out, the benchmark is perfectly calibrated. It is straightforward for a human to score 100% if they do better than average people – a… Quoting @fchollet Any smart human giving it real effort should score >90% on ARC-AGI-3 ARC-AGI benchmarks Related

Mastodon A Serif Badge Pin using a stretched out version of my Spagetty typeface in antique silver (probably not real silver) and it's available now in the shop! Wear it with pride, knowing that most people will point out the horrendous typo. Then you can explain the joke and they will probably think even less of you.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
