The Jesuit Worldwide Learning #JWL partnership with Saint Louis University #SLU is doing what more institutions should, bringing quality education to underserved communities. I recently was part of an AI workshop for students in refugee camps. Grateful to contribute

Last week was the 1818 Community Engagement Grant Showcase at SLU—an event where students shared projects they’ve been working on with local communities. So many inspiring initiatives!

I don't know how to feel about this next level of prompt engineering!!

Grad school offers are getting rescinded, funding is vanishing, and hiring freezes are leaving researchers with nowhere to go. This isn’t about merit. Academia is in crisis, science deserves better. Read below, reflecting to cope… & feel free to share if this hits close to home for you.

Good food, great company..
Dinner 2 of 2 with Mr. AI himself! Python/machine learning sessions are slowly but surely becoming excuses to try new restaurants. @gallai.bsky.social

Very intriguing topic and a unique behind-the-scenes look at how the treatment is actually given!
Congrats on launching your podcast!! 🎉 @cogneurd.bsky.social

Cognition is more than thinking – it’s the brain making sense of everything around us. 3/3

So what’s happening here? It’s called phosphenes – a funky brain-eye collab. 🧠👁️
Your eyes + brain team up to make these visual effects happen when there’s pressure on your eyes or a quick change in light.
Brains are awesome, right? 2/3

Trust me, you gotta try this it’s wild! 👀
Stare at the 3 dots on the nose in this pic for 30 secs (no blinking!), then look up at the ceiling and blink a few times… BAM, you’ll see the pic in color! 1/3

SLU isn’t the richest school by any means, but they show up and put their pennies where their mouth is, something we don’t always see from other institutions.

If you’re a school interested in bringing this to your students, reach out! 3/3

Big thanks to Dr. Mamoun Benmamoun for the guidance and support and for my colleagues Zukai and Burhan.
Looking forward to the next workshop and continuing this work with Saint Louis University and the 1818 Community Engagement Program 2/3

Skipped ML + coding session today, instead got sushi w/ @gallai.bsky.social & discussed how cold showers are the cure for the world’s problems. Good luck & safe travels this week at Fulbright Conference!

Love this! Airstream it is 🌬️
Can we have our own lingo here? Here’s my proposal.

1) Skyline: a simple thought/few words

2) Nimbus: any sort of post with deeper content/advocacy posts (get it… because nimbus clouds hold weight)

3) Horizon Report: research/academic chatter

Also, this is no longer a feed, it’s an airstream.

Tune in, impactful and amazing work!!

@astylianou.bsky.social have you played around with #DeepSeek ? It optimizes efficiency by using only the parameters it needs, unlike GPT-4’s dense approach. Pretty cool, right? and the results are good. What are your thoughts?

Insightful discussion with my colleagues and Dr @astylianou.bsky.social in my AI for Modern Applications class about the impact of AI on the future of jobs, its social implications, and the responsibilities and ethics we must consider as AI evolves.

@gallai.bsky.social I re-wrote until perfect (so my MANY errors aren’t on the clean repository on github)! But, here’s a decisional analysis model I’m working on for making rational decisions about grad school! Idea to do this inspired by Kahneman’s ideas on logical thinking and avoiding noise!

Just read some more literature celebrating Kandel & more recently, Glanzman’s work with aplysia model organisms for memory. Since people liked my aplysia californica picture I posted awhile back, here’s some more from snorkeling back in Mission Bay/La Jolla. Also a PSA to please protect our oceans!!

A video I generated with the Sora, inspired by Nizar Qabbani's iconic poem "At the Entrance of Hamra"
Some glitches, but the potential is absolutely mind blowing! blending AI and poetry like this, endless possibilities! 🚀💡
