Seems like I'm gonna talk some gibberish which most web devs won't & don't want to understand lol

✈️Let's attend the biggest AI/ML conference and community in Africa, Deep Learning Indaba in Senegal 🇸🇳. I'll be spamming here about this in the next few days.

Forget passports, I just need my face! Almost everywhere I go, people skip the small talk and go straight to 'Are you from Ethiopia?' I guess Ethiopians have that global VIP look! 😂

So today I had lunch with Samy Bengio(Director of AI at Apple), we talked about reasoning, his team at Apple, Yoshua Bengio Vs Yann LeCun, the weather in Montreal etc.

This should be a lesson for all of the people in Ethiopia who are egoistic with titles etc. I've heard you don't even get to talk more with your own advisors in unis sometimes and also directors/CEO/General managers or people at the top in your companies etc.

Learning to Reason is Hard
