Most of the breathless talk in snowy Munich at this year's DLD conference, of course, was about the generative AI revolution. But amongst all the hype and glitz about our brave new AI future, Richard Socher stands out. Born in 1983 in Dresden, East Germany, the now Silicon Valley based Socher is amongst the headful of genuine pioneers who helped revolutionize natural language processing. In this conversation, he discusses his journey from being part of a small "heretical" group of researchers in 2010 who believed in using neural networks for natural language processing, to seeing his ideas become mainstream technology that even Munich and San Francisco taxi/Uber now discuss. Socher explains how he helped develop crucial concepts like word vectors and prompt engineering, which influenced the development of modern AI systems. He founded you.com, which focuses on providing accurate AI answers for knowledge workers and enterprises, differentiating itself from consumer-focused AI platforms. Regarding AI's future, Socher is particularly excited about its potential impact on scientific discovery, predicting major breakthroughs in fields like fusion energy and biology over the next 20 years. He acknowledges concerns about AI's impact on jobs but draws parallels to historical technological transitions, suggesting that while some jobs will disappear, new ones will emerge at "higher levels of abstraction. He also addresses criticisms about AI companies profiting from public knowledge, arguing that when technology becomes deeply ingrained, it typically leads to improved access to capabilities that were previously available only to the wealthy.Richard Socher is the founder and CEO of you.com and co-founder and managing director at AIX Ventures.

The Decade-Long Journey to Becoming an AI OG: How did Richard first make his way into the world of AI over a decade ago? What are 1-2 of his biggest lessons from working with Marc Benioff? How did 5 years at Salesforce impact how he both thinks and operates? 2. Models: Does Size Matter: How important is model size? Is data size more important? What are the biggest misconceptions people have around models today? How does Richard respond to the suggestion that "many startups are wrappers around LLMs"? Are hallucinations a feature or a bug? 3. Where Does Value Accrue: Where does Richard believe most of the value will accrue; startup or incumbent? Which incumbents are best positioned to win? Which are the laggards and behind? What do many not see about the startup vs incumbent race in the AI war? 4. Open vs Closed: Which Wins: Does Richard favour Yann LeCun's open approach? Or is the world of AI more closed? What are the biggest challenges of an open ecosystem? What are the nuances that make both challenging? 5. Richard Socher: AMA: Why will carpenters be paid more than software engineers in 10 years? Why is AGI still way off? Are people too unrealistic? How much money does Google make off search every day? Why does that leave them vulnerable?

What are the triggers that make you boiling mad? Do you notice what happens to you and the voices in your head when you feel like someone doesn't understand you or does something “against” you? Do you want people to see and appreciate you for who you really are? And how do we authentically become fully aware of what we deeply want and need so that we can communicate this clearly? Mette Johansson (MBA, CSP, PCC) is a highly awarded author, speaker, and consultant. She worked in leadership roles for multinational corporations for 15 years before founding MetaMind, a training consultancy providing consulting and learning programs in the people side of leadership skills. She is the author of three Amazon bestsellers; "How to Make Yourself Promotable", "7 Skills to Help You Climb the Career Ladder", "MyVoice", as well as the co-author and ideator of “Unleash Your Voice", "Powerful Public Speaking for Every Woman”. Mette is also the founder and relentless driver of the non-profit KeyNote – Women Speakers' directory, with a mission to bring diversity to speaking stages around the world. Mette herself has spoken internationally on Authentic, Inspirational, and Inclusive Leadership at a wide variety of global conferences, corporations, and business schools. Her clients include Citibank, Airbnb, Microsoft, UPS, Pfizer, Capitaland, and many more. Having lived in 10 countries outside her birthplace, Denmark, Mette is a global citizen who speaks fluently in four languages and currently calls Singapore home. In this episode, Mette explains that when we open our curiosity switch, we elicit stories from people and engage in a discovery conversation with them which helps us get to know each other better and interact with them more. Listening is not about being able to speak perfectly but about being understood. You don't have to fit in to be your authentic self, you just listen to yourself and just be you. “Asking questions is so important…when you truly want to hear what's going on and to understand what's going on.” - Mette Johansson Listening SUPERPOWER Notes: 00:26 - The first time Mette noticed the power of listening. 01:44 - From a shy girl to a professional speaker: "I wanted this change; I wanted to be more confident." 03:39 - What is authentic leadership as it relates to Mette's own journey: "Authentic leadership is very much about living according to your values." 07:09 - How her core value of empowerment plays into her designed life: "I want to empower others to be the best versions of themselves." 08:57 - Who helped her listen to herself and make a change? 11:45 - What she is teaching her younger self with the lessons she learned now. 13:32 - How does asking questions calm down those triggers in you? 19:29 - What it means to turn on your “people curiosity switch”: "You simply say, I'm going to discover something interesting about at least one person in this room today." 22:07 - People's curiosity as a neutralizer: "You can simply be that curious mind and not come in there with any preconceived notion of what the situation has to be or what that person has to be." 23:39 - Tips on how to listen to a larger audience and an online crowd: "It is a lot about observing the body language and it's also about asking questions." 26:32 - How your voice influences the quality of listening. 27:48 - Another good tip that helps your voice: Reading to young children at night. It's good practice for having a much more variety of voices." 30:00 - What is "KeyNote Women Speakers" all about? 34:51 - Advice to women with English as their second language: The key is to ensure that you are understood. Key Takeaways: "...traveling on my own…gave me confidence. When I could do things in different countries where I barely spoke the language, of course, I could also do these things at home." - Mette Johansson “If you want to be an authentic leader, if you want to be authentic, feel authentic, and be perceived as authentic, the first thing is…listening to yourself. Ask yourself questions that will help you discover what is of core importance to you, your personal core values." - Mette Johansson "Being you is so much more energy creating; it gives you energy rather than draining you when you're trying to fit in." - Mette Johansson "When you're asking questions to the audience, you might not wait for the audience to answer every single time. But simply by asking questions, people tend to react much more." - Mette Johansson Notes/Mentions: KeyNote Women Speakers: https://keynotewomen.com/ Connect with Mette Johansson: Website: https://www.mettejohansson.com/ Connect with Raquel Ark: www.listeningalchemy.com Mobile: + 491732340722 contact@listeningalchemy.com LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/raquel-ark-b2067613/ Podcast email: listeningsuperpower@gmail.com

This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast
Today we’re joined Richard Socher, Chief Scientist and Executive VP at Salesforce. Richard, who has been at the forefront of Salesforce’s AI Research since they acquired his startup Metamind in 2016, and his team have been publishing a ton of great projects as of late, including CTRL: A Conditional Transformer Language Model for Controllable Generation, and ProGen, an AI Protein Generator, both of which we cover in-depth in this conversation. We explore the balancing act between investments, product requirement research and otherwise at a large product-focused company like Salesforce, the evolution of his language modeling research since being acquired, and how it ties in with Protein Generation. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at twimlai.com/talk/372.
“Hey do you want to go paramotoring?” This may not be the typical way an IT conversation starts, but it just might be the way you begin an interaction with Richard Socher. Especially if you’re near a beautiful vista or in any gorgeous outdoor setting. But paramotoring is only Richard’s hobby, his job is Chief Scientist for Salesforce. As the Chief Scientist, Richard wears a couple of different hats. He and his team focus on publishing new research data, doing applied research, incubating, and working on the capabilities of Salesforce’s platform. The type of work Richard and his team do extends across many fields, but lately, they have been narrowing in on A.I. and all things Salesforce Einstein Voice Assistant. On this episode of IT Visionaries, Richard talks about his origins, including the work he did as the founder, CEO and CTO of MetaMind, the current and future state of affairs of A.I. and voice, and yes, his love of paramotoring. Key Takeaways: How A.I. can have a positive impact What is the future of voice technology?

“Clearly, the killer use case, the most valuable thing 6DoF can do is allow two or more humans to interact—just be with each other from wherever they are.” The internet has succeeded in connecting people to machines and information. So, what's missing? Anjney Midha argues that the element of human interaction is what the web lacks, and he is on a mission to develop the tools creators can use to design shared experiences online through XR. Anjney Midha is the cofounder and CEO of Ubiquity6, a startup using computer vision to create multiplayer experiences for augmented and virtual reality. Founded by alums from Metamind, Facebook, Tesla, Twitter and Stanford, the Ubiquity team is leveraging spatial computing to bring people together in valuable new ways. Anjney began his career in venture as Founding Partner of KPCB Edge, a Kleiner Perkins fund formed to support founders in AR, VR and computer vision. Today, Anjney joins us to share his background in frontier tech and explain how his experience in VC led to the creation of Ubiquity6. He offers insight on the problems in venture capital, describing how good and bad investors can impact a startup. Anjney also discusses the particular challenges of the deep tech space and the futility of the AR versus VR debate. Listen in to understand the tech advancements that have facilitated networked capabilities and learn how Ubiquity6 is solving for shared experiences—at six degrees of freedom. Topics Covered Anjney's background in frontier tech Formed fund within Kleiner (AR, VR + computer vision) Influenced by Bing Gordon, Mike Abbott Time spent investing AND building software Founded Ubiquity6 to solve for shared experiences Anjney's take on good vs. bad investors Great investors = 100X or more Bad investors destroy value More pretenders than ever Look at track record of success, failure How Anjney communicates with investors Text message, reply within 10 minutes Best investors view as service industry The role of Ubiquity6 in solving for shared experiences Serve creators with tools Launch own experiences ‘Shared AR in persistent way' Anjney's insight around the challenges of deep tech Timing (invest in real tech that doesn't exist) Bring research to market in compelling way How Anjney built a tribe of support Early-stage founders vocal about problems Obvious from listening to early adopters Why Anjney is excited about audio As powerful, immersive as visual AR Shared audio channels for consumers Why Anjney believes AR vs. VR is a false debate Different viewing modes of same experience High level of abstraction = unproductive debate The positive mass market signals for Anjney and his company ARKit, ARCore (networked AR) On-device capabilities to shared capabilities Connect with Anjney Ubiquity6 https://ubiquity6.com/ Ubiquity6 on Medium https://medium.com/ubiquity6 Ubiquity6 on Twitter https://twitter.com/ubiquity_6 Ubiquity6 on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/ubiquity6/ Anjney on Medium https://medium.com/@anjneymidha Anjney on Twitter https://twitter.com/anjneymidha Anjney on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjney/ Resources Kleiner Perkins https://www.kleinerperkins.com/ Bing Gordon https://www.kleinerperkins.com/people/bing-gordon/ Mike Abbott https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelabbott/ Virtual Human Interaction Lab https://vhil.stanford.edu/ Jeremy Bailenson https://vhil.stanford.edu/faculty-and-staff/ Adam Arrigo https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-arrigo-b4637620/ TheWaveVR http://thewavevr.com/ LYNX Capital https://www.lynxtrading.com/ Benchmark Capital http://www.benchmark.com/ Index Ventures https://www.indexventures.com/ Vinod Khosla Interview https://blog.ycombinator.com/vinod-khosla-on-how-to-build-the-future/ John Doerr https://www.kleinerperkins.com/people/john-doerr Marc Andreessen on a16z Podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O91S1NL-B0Q&t=14m34s ARKit https://developer.apple.com/arkit/ ARCore https://developers.google.com/ar/ Connect with Boost VC Boost VC Website https://www.boost.vc/ Boost VC on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/boostvc/ Boost VC on Twitter https://twitter.com/BoostVC

Sahila ChangeBringer Tamara talks with Sahila about what it means to be a modern-day shaman. Where did the journey start and where has it led? Along the way, the conversation explores ideas such as the Law of Attraction and manifesting abundance versus the paradox of excess in the West and poverty in the East, limiting fears, belief systems and patterns of behavior, mythic journeys, the mystery, form and purpose of 9/11 and realization of Self as the Life Force - all powerful, all loving, all knowing, immortal. Dutch-born Sahila has been working with multi-dimensional Source energies for two decades. She trained in New Zealand and Australia as a medium, channeller and healer in the Spiritualist and Reiki traditions. She's studied both Eastern and Western paths, focusing on indigenous peoples' shamanic teachings and therapeutic processes for healing Self. She honours all beliefs as they assist in the journey around the Circle of Life towards Wholeness. Sahila works with individuals and in churches and spiritual centres as a celebrant, sweat lodge leader, teacher of metaphysics and facilitator of personal growth and spiritual development workshops. She offers intuitive guidance, energy work, Breath Integration, Focusing, Voice Dialogue, Transpersonal Psychology and Macro-Structural Dynamics as tools to uncover the underlying patterns controlling your choices and behaviour, and to consciously create a new future. see www.metamind-spirit.com or call Sahila on 206.679.1738
