Scouting report
Co-authored ULMFiT, which brought transfer learning to NLP before the GPT line, and founded fast.ai, whose free courses and library have trained an enormous number of practitioners on the premise that you do not need a PhD to do this. Has been one of the most persistent public voices against regulating open-weight models out of existence.
Curator’s note
Teaches for free and then goes and argues with legislators about it.
