Cows go Ping: an AI Petting Zoo

Have you ever fed a piglet? Or, have you ever forgotten to feed a virtual pet? On 12/6, the Libraries and OIT bring the best of both worlds with several hand-selected language models to prompt, play with, confuse, observe, compare at a large language model petting zoo. ......More

Have you ever fed a piglet? Or, have you ever forgotten to feed a virtual pet? On 12/6, the Libraries and OIT bring the best of both worlds with several hand-selected language models to prompt, play with, confuse, observe, compare at a large language model petting zoo. The rapid increase in generative AI models has taken hold of our ideas of writing, problem solving, knowledge, and human computer interaction. We’re here to look more closely at what lesser-known models can actually do. Take a much needed break any time between 1:00 and 4:00, stop by Schow Library, grab some prompts from the feed bowl and see how six different open source models behave. Whether you are an expert AI user, a novice, or an AI skeptic– a neoluddite, or friend of the metaverse, there’s something for you on the farm.

The NBC X KOFA Fall Show is the biggest collab of the year! Come watch NBC Hip Hop and Sankofa Step Team during our annual fall show. Seating is first come first serve and completely free (no tickets needed)! All are welcome! Nothin’ But Cuties Hip Hop (NBC) is a hip-hop dance team that performs original choreography across campus. We create a fun and athletic environment to create exciting new dance. Sankofa (Kofa), Williams’ only step team, was founded by five Black women in 1996 from the Class of 2000: Dahra Jackson, Maxine Lyle, Mya Fisher, Melina Evans, and Samantha Reed. “Sankofa” is a Twi (Ghanaian vernacular) word that loosely translates to “reaching back to move forward.” Following our name, we aim to maintain a strong history of step while carving the way forward with new choreography, rhythm, synchronization, improvisation, and style. Special thanks to the Dance Department, OCL, the Department of Athletics, and FAST.d
