@moonlaggoune @lilianejeu Tout ceux de la "classe moyenne" et moins qui optent pour l'imposition au barème (case 2OP de la déclaration) au lieu de rester au PFU, option par défaut mais qui est désavantageuse dans beaucoup de cas.

@lilianejeu Quel investisseur particulier ne sera pas pénalisé ?

L'analyse du PLF 2025 par l'assemblée nationale commence très mal avec une proposition complètement sortie du chapeau. La commission des finances, présidée par l’Insoumis Eric Coquerel, vient de voter l'augmentation de la flat tax à 33% (+10%) dès 2025🚨 La France, qui fait partie des pires élèves en Europe, devient encore moins compétitive en termes de taxation de l'épargne ! Tous les français vont être pénalisés ! À titre de comparaison, l'imposition en Belgique est de 0% si vous gardez vos actions plus de 6 mois... Le parlement peut encore revenir sur ce changement, mais ça part mal !

@gabriel_zucman Bonjour, vous pouvez simuler son effet sur socio-fiscal.leximpact.an.fr/?test_case=72&…

Que penser de ce qui, d'après les dernières rumeurs, s’annonce comme l'une des innovations principales du budget Barnier — l’impôt minimum de 20% pour les très riches ? 🧵 lesechos.fr/economie-franc…

@Economie_Gouv @antoine_armand @LaurentSMartin @gouvernementFR @MichelBarnier Et voyer ce que cela veut dire pour vous en manière d'impôt sur socio-fiscal.leximpact.an.fr/?law=true&test…

#PLF | Que contient le projet de loi de finances pour 2025, présenté hier par @antoine_armand et @LaurentSMartin ? 📊 Retrouvez-le en intégralité sur notre site ➡️economie.gouv.fr/actualites/pre… #Budget2025

Le Projet de loi de finances pour 2025 a été publié hier soir. Vous pouvez dès ce matin visualiser ce que cela va changer et même réaliser vos propres modifications : socio-fiscal.leximpact.an.fr/?budget=true&t… Le nuit fut courte mais le résultat est là !

Thank @Tundjii for the picture and your support.

Today I do a talk with Luis at @PyDataParis about CodeCarbon and then do a Lightning talk on main stage. A well spent afternoon! Amazing community 🤗

Today, we release several Moshi artifacts: a long technical report with all the details behind our model, weights for Moshi and its Mimi codec, along with streaming inference code in Pytorch, Rust and MLX. More details below 🧵 ⬇️ Paper: kyutai.org/Moshi.pdf Repo: github.com/kyutai-labs/mo… HuggingFace: huggingface.co/kmhf

I will be there for a talk about CodeCarbon.

@SashaMTL Maybe because some of the audience did not saw the cutted finger on the right hand because they focus more on the 'sexy perfect curvilinear' part of the image ?

You know what would be really impressive? A cute kitten. Even a scary monster.. But generating images of canonically hot chicks contributes to the objectification of women by AI by using them as a proxy for measuring image quality. (Yes, I will die on this hill)

Hey @nvidia - you've been mentioning a 'product carbon footprint analysis' in your sustainability reports for years now -- any chance you'll share that information with the community? Asking for a (concerned) friend 😇

AI Doomers are having zero impact on the development of advanced AI surveillance and autonomous weapons systems. Instead, they're intensely focused on restricting civilian access to AI. Ironically, this means they're ushering in the worst possible timeline for mankind. We'll have a world where all civilian systems are controlled, hobbled and deeply censored (aka "safe") and military, weapons systems and surveillance systems are hyper advanced. I don't want this timeline. Nobody else will either once they're forced to experience it in reality. See this post where Anduril just got 1.5B in additional funding to build advanced autonomous weapons systems (x.com/anduriltech?t=… ). Also note that the EU AI bill has a 100% exemption for military/defense/surveillance. Guess what? So does every other bill, including SB1047. Threre is a zero percent chance that governments will restrict themselves from building advanced AI military and surveillance systems. There is not one single government on Earth that will restrict these technologies for themselves. Even if there was a pact, they would do it with black budgets just like the Total Information Awareness (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Inf…) systems that were built in the US despite explicit restrictions from congress not to build them because mass surveillance was just too tempting for them. If you don't understand this, you don't understand much about life or human nature. By the way this world of advanced military systems is not coming. It's already here. China has an absolutely massive surveillance state that harnesses AI from top to bottom (facial recognition, gait detection, dissident tracking, predictive analytics) (economist.com/china/2023/11/…) and the war in the Ukraine is being fought with drones and AI repurposed from game systems (economist.com/leaders/2024/0…). There is even a newly appointed commander of drones (economist.com/europe/2024/07…). To be very clear, I'm not against AI military systems because I know the are an inevitable fact of life. I hate war. It's a disgusting and ugly waste of human life and it showcases the worst of what we are as a species. But I am a pragmatist to my core. I realize that no amount of wishful thinking will ever stop war or an escalation of military systems. Wars will be fought. Wars are won by having better stuff than the other guys and so I want my team to have the best systems. Simple as that. These systems can built and so they will be built. There is absolutely zero chance of stopping them. Restricting your own military development in the vain hopes that others will follow is foolishly naive. And yet that is exactly what many advocates for strangling American civilian AI believe. Helen Toner said "we don't have to worry about China" (former OpenAI board member and EA (yes you are EA, as you worked for an EA org and are continually funded by them and advocate their positions, Helen, despite your protests to the contrary) and Dan Hendrycks (whose team wrote the first draft of SB1047 and created a consulting org to profit from the bill) believes that by setting a "good example" that authoritarian regimes will just willing follow along to self-restrict development of advanced AI. Of all the ridiculous and stupid arguments of Doomers, this is perhaps the most absurd and frankly, stupidly naive thing I have ever heard in my life. It betrays an almost comically idiotic understanding of human nature and the way power works in the world. It's not just naive, it's dangerous. By pushing their cultural information warfare campaign with corrupted children's videos financed to the tune of 7-10M about AI destroying us all (x.com/DrTechlash/sta…) and using disgusting propaganda techniques like push polling (where the questions are knowingly and deliberately designed by AIPI to bias people against AI and NOT to collect an actual, realistic poll about people's real feeling about AI) (x.com/FLI_org/status…) they are pushing us right to the brink of the worst possible world. It's a world where your AI can't answer questions honestly because it's considered "harmful" (this kind of censorship always escalates), where information is gated instead of free, where open source models are killed off so university researchers can't work on medical segmentation (x.com/BoWang87/statu…) and curing cancer (budget conscious academics rely on open source models; they can fine tune them but can't afford to train their own) and where we have killer robots and drones but your personal AI is utterly hobbled and lobotomized. Resist this world at all costs. Protect access to civilian AI. Protect open source. Protect open weights. Fight for the future. If you can hear this, you are the resistance.
