Can statistics be fun? You might find it hard to believe, but I had a blast giving this talk on #statistics of quantitative MR methods at the latest @ISMRM conference. And judging from the reactions, people had fun too. Have a look: youtube.com/watch?v=2ZTTrQHB…

After crying "AGI!" for years, #OpenAI's next model is yet again just an incremental improvement, at the cost of ridiculous computational power. This is not the way, and all the announcements are just hype to inflate the bubble.
