This might go under the radar for many, but it's an important step forward. I'll have more to say after I read the report, but the effort to democratize access to AI resources is very important, especially so when powerful tools like chatGPT are controlled by private entities.

@vijay@discuss.systems I think ultimately it boils down to money. A big enough project and you can write in money for staff support. Or convince your university to give you the $$ for it.

@cyberlyra@mastodon.social hi Janet, a few of my colleagues are putting together a proposal for an event at FAccT and were hoping to connect with you. Would you be interested in being connected and if so what email address should I use?

@vijay@discuss.systems that. But I personally dislike the lab model for advising students. That's perhaps because of my background in theory and the style of work I do.

@vijay@discuss.systems in bio labs there's effectively a lab manager who does that. Especially in well funded ones.
