@ycombinator @drfeifei Interesting, isn't spatial reasoning also key to true artificial general intelligence?
@ycombinator @drfeifei She's mentored half the AI leaders we know today
@ycombinator @drfeifei I just finished The Worlds I See and it’s incredible.
@ycombinator @drfeifei well @CheeseCoinX built mouse.cafe so there's that
@ycombinator @drfeifei Amazing and insightful givings from @drfeifei especially her early contribution to imagenet and from that start of her journey
@ycombinator @drfeifei Fei-Fei Li continues to shape the AI frontier with clarity and purpose. Spatial intelligence is such an underrated challenge — and she’s absolutely right: seeing is still harder than speaking.
@ycombinator @drfeifei Compute demands could strain grids - new macro variable?
@ycombinator @drfeifei When wisdom governs AI, tools build us – not replace us. #KoGikFire #BeyondAlgorithms
@ycombinator @drfeifei China overcompensates in AI because they lost people like her
