🚨 @rmcelreath.bsky.social @statmodeling.bsky.social & @avehtari.bsky.social are coming on the show mid-June to discuss their new book, Bayesian Workflow! ONE listener gets to bring a real Bayesian problem onto the recording and have the three of them work through it live. Here's how to enter 🧵

Statistical Rethinking 2026 is done: 20 new lectures emphasizing logical and critical statistical workflow, from basics of probability theory to causal inference to reliable computation to sensitivity. It's all free, made just for you. Lecture list and links: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

O great hive mind! About a week ago I saw someone doing further experimentation on Talkie's coding abilities — I think with few-shot examples? I know the Talkie-1930 release itself does some testing of its coding ability, but I think this went beyond that? Am I hallucinating?

This is the eagerly-awaited Levine / Devenaud / Radford historical model. First really sizable model trained only on period material. Definitely check it out!

Ethan Mollick@emollick.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Here is an AI trained just using text from 1931 or earlier, which leads to a lot of interesting experiments: can the model independently develop later inventions? Can it learn to code from examples alone? You can talk to the model here: talkie-lm.com/chat Details here: talkie-lm.com/introducing-...
