Issue #9 of The Comet Newsletter features a range of topics, including a Mozilla study on YouTube's recommendation system, which is described as a "horrorshow" due to its tendency to promote content that users regret watching, such as misinformation and inappropriate material. The study, based on data from over 37,000 YouTube users, highlights the role of the recommendation algorithm in pushing undesirable content, noting that non-English-speaking users experience more negative outcomes. The newsletter also includes insights from a Turing Lecture by deep learning pioneers discussing the challenges and future directions of AI, particularly the need for AI systems to improve in handling out-of-distribution data and understanding causality. Additionally, it explores the emerging art scene influenced by OpenAI's CLIP model and offers a fictional narrative on the complexities of building a data science team in a mid-stage startup, emphasizing the importance of processes and organizational buy-in for successful data-driven initiatives.
