Took train from Naples to Rome a few days ago. 300km/hr most of way. V quick. Now on LNER east coast. Train top speed is 200 kmh. We are going 170. At 300 could do Edinburgh to London in 2 hours. Which would be nice/transformational.

When we look back, Alex Karp may have initiated an important preference cascade around AI sovereignty.
It’s worth noting what @Benioff and @satyanadella are both saying:
Your knowledge, as a company, is your sovereignty. If you lose it to someone else (anyone else) you are hollowing your organization out.
There are many ways to accidentally leak intelligence so you need partners and tools who can sign up for the complexity required to give it to you.
See Benioff below and see Satya’s essay linked below.

Got ZDR? 🚀 The currency of AI is trust. Since launching Agentforce Trust Layer with Zero Data Retention (ZDR) on June 12, 2023, we’ve drawn a hard line with our model suppliers: Your data is YOUR data — it is NOT our product or their product. 🛡️ We have never used customer data to train AI models.

This is good work. There must be hundreds if not thousands of use cases like this that can be automated relatively easily. In public and private situations.

We sent a forward-deployed AI engineer to prison. He’s not a criminal - he’s been creating tools that are massively saving staff time, making things safer for everyone. Now they’re being rolled out across the Prison Service. This is exactly the type of work the No10 Innovation Fellows were designed to deliver - helping us to move fast and fix things.

@JTLonsdale Honestly, had you even heard of her a week ago? Do you know anything about her? Why are you jumping in here? Got Elon envy and want to start interfering in UK politics? Very odd to get involved.

An extraordinary woman, with clear principles.
Ann was found dead and possibly murdered at her Devon, UK, home on Thursday morning (investigation in progress); worth a listen in her honor.

FIFA should just have America host every World Cup.
Where else in the world do you have this many elite stadiums in cities capable of handling such an influx of foreign visitors? And it lines up with the American football offseason for easy conversion to soccer for the venues.

In case you're wondering why the United States is not participating in the World Cup this weekend:
If an athlete with Mbappé's speed and agility, had grown up in the United States, he would be a wide receiver in the NFL, akin to Tyreek Hill, rather than a soccer player.

@alvinfoo Again real smugness about China only replicating. This from ASPI annual report:
US is behind in many industries.
English
Progress isn’t built by regulators, it’s built by those who innovate and those who rapidly replicate.
America launches the future.
China replicates and scales it.
Europe just regulates the bottle caps.
The data is clear: over-regulation kills velocity while innovation and iteration wins.

@DrEliDavid @chamath Is this really an amazing insight? Techniques have a maxima - then companies innovate around them. He’s just been a bit slow in watching his own spend. There’s no great insight here.
English
Amazing insight from @chamath on the true cost of AI 👇
Any organization scaling AI will eventually hit a brick wall of exponential costs. LLM cost efficiency isn't just an engineering problem, it's a core business metric.
English
@DrEliDavid Funny but too smug that only the US innovates. China is way ahead in many critical areas. And if you took the Chinese out of AI research in the US there would be a big hole.

Brad Gerstner says he's talked to Sam Altman, Dario and Elon Musk about giving 1-5% of their company directly to every American
"I totally disagree with Bernie's suggestion that you're just going to take 50% of these companies. But, if they want to voluntarily give 1%, 2%, 5% of their shares..."
"It should be voluntary and then distributed directly into citizen accounts. I've talked with Sam about it. I've talked with Elon about it. I've talked with Dario about it."
"Intel was really struggling as a company. The US government smartly said, 'We need to rebuild our entire semiconductor stack here in America, not dependent exclusively on Taiwan.' They invested dollars and got shares in return. It's been a massive success for the federal government."
"I do not believe the government should be in the business of shaking down companies, taking shares like Bernie is suggesting. That is totally a socialist idea."
English
@elidourado Like the US. Hence losing wars to tiny countries like Iran.
Everyone has become delusional?
English
I disagree with this.
The loss, in front of 42 million American viewers as well as the whole world, was indeed humiliating.
But I blame the players, not Poch. The players are soft. Poch has insisted all along on a tougher mentality. At times he has coaxed it out of the team, but this week they didn't deliver.
I wouldn't blame Poch if he didn't want to re-up, but as a fan I would be excited for him to get a full cycle to beat the softness out of the players and the federation.

Landing Mauricio Pochettino to lead the #USMNT was a triumph. Rehiring the coach who oversaw the most humiliating World Cup loss in program history would be indefensible. @FOXSoccer: foxsports.com/stories/soccer…

@whitehotsand @DAcemogluMIT They trashed you. You were embarrassing. That 3rd goal. Losers.

@DAcemogluMIT Trump did nothing wrong in this case. The WC is not ruined.
In fact, Belgium ruined their image by their constant whining.
Indignant “integrity of the game” stance in this particular instance is a high signal for hypocrisy.
English
The World Cup was shaping up to be a spectacular success for the United States. The hospitality the country provided to the teams and fans was exemplary. The interest from American fans dwarfed the interest seen when the USA last hosted the World Cup in 1994. The matches throughout the US, Canada and Mexico were energizing, showing why this is the beautiful game. And the US team played exciting, dynamic soccer (football), demonstrating that they are up to the task of taking on even the best in the game.
Then, it all got ruined.
Not by the fact that the USA lost Belgium 4-1. That can happen to the best teams in the world. No, it was ruined, perhaps predictably, by President Trump, interfering and trying to reverse the one-match automatic suspension for the American player Folarin Balogun after he received a red card in the round of 32 game against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
We will never know for sure whether it was pressure from Trump that reversed the decision, but this is what Trump has claimed. In any case, the decision to postpone Balogun’s one-match automatic ban by one year is completely unprecedented. Something looks fishy. The track record of FIFA and its president Gianni Infantino does not give anybody much confidence that this was a decision made on objective grounds, without interference.
What is sad and dangerous is that President Trump’s repeated disregard for rules and institutions is having an effect in every domain. It has further polarized US politics, damaged US democratic institutions, significantly hampered global cooperation, and made security and peace more tenuous around the world.
Now, it is poisoning the beautiful game.
As in democracy, once you damage the institutions of world soccer (football), and the trust that people have in the effectiveness and impartiality of these institutions, the consequences will be long-lasting.
Say what you will about Trump. He is consistent – consistently corrosive to the institutions our future depends on.
English
@MarguliesNorma @DAcemogluMIT You got trashed by a mediocre team:)
English
I profoundly disagree. Your post denotes a lack of intellectual honesty, very fitting for an #MIT scholar BTW another sad example of the #Trump derangement syndrome. Let’s present the facts: Article 27 of #FIFA regulations allows the suspension of red cards in order to avoid severe damage to teams. It has been implemented several times. For instance in the case of the famous #Cristiano Ronaldo or the great #argentine player Otamendi and #ecuadorian player Caicedo. So there is precedent. Mr Trump was just trying to remedy a wrong against a capricious red card issue vs one of the most dangerous USA players. The decision was made by a FiFA committee. The #USMNT shameful performance vs #belgium a mediocre team that was almost eliminated by an undisciplined #senegal team was the result of the “pay2play” system prevalent in the US that produced SOFT spoiled players (most of them without warrior spirit) Otherwise, compare the cases of the goalkeepers of the U.S. and that of #Paraguay One educated in another Ivy League school who FROZE as soon as confronted with a tough situation and the other who was forced to sell his clothes to cover his daughter’s medical treatment.
