Some time ago, I had the brilliant idea whenever a @Waymo vehicle passes me, I would give it a very friendly (read vigorous) wave. I may look ridiculous but I’m ensuring when the robot overlords take over, they recognize me as a friendly from the training set. 🤖👾🤓😅

@bluntumbrellas 🤝🏽 @RainmakerCorp You’re welcome.

Mexico has been suffering through one of the worst heatwaves in its history over the last two weeks, shattering dozens of all-time records with no signs of letting up. Temperatures will soar above 45°C (113°F) as a relentless heat dome restrengthens and remains parked overhead for the next 7+ days. In the Gulf Coast state of Tabasco, it has been so hot that howler monkeys are dropping dead from the trees. Mexico is also suffering through a brutal nationwide drought, with 70% of the nation in drought and 50% in severe drought.

@ziyadedher Did you ever publish the solution? Wondering how close I was…

@jackclarkSF Love ‘breaking’ things to understand them

One of the most amazing parts of the recent Interpretability release has been how we can use 'feature clamping' to change how models behave. For an example, play around with 'Golden Gate Claude' - check out how it responds to my question about what to build to solve AI policy

Today is a bittersweet day for Runway. We are moving out of our first-ever office in New York. Our space in Tribeca was one of a kind. At times, it felt like an art studio, a production set, a gallery, a workshop, and a home...

Analysis of publicly available viral genomes published in @NatureEcoEvo shows that humans may give more viruses to animals than they give to us, and reveals evolutionary mechanisms underpinning viral host jumps. go.nature.com/49aH9J7

@AmandaAskell I liked the previous version of this talk (Tweet) and bet you’re right.

Did your thoughts cause you to pick up your cup? Maybe not. Have your past thoughts had a major impact on your life and how you make decisions now? Probably. When we ask about the causal influence of thoughts, we need to stop being so myopic. Thanks for coming to my talk.

"It is dangerous to treat nation-states like home teams, without acknowledging that these forms are containers, whose function is to hold power over subjects, and that those wielding power from within these structures can do so benevolently, or with unspeakable brutality."

This is the BEST analysis on the proposed Tik Tok ban that I have read. @mer__edith reminds us of something we desperately need to remember amidst rising authoritarianism around the world—we must be weary of ALL attempts to centralize power—in both corporations & nation states.

@restofworld @DarrenLoucaides @DarrenLoucaides great piece! Would love to chat about methods to counteract this. Spent some time thinking about this during a fellowship @BKCHarvard

Over six months, Rest of World spoke to researchers, activists, and people targeted by facial recognition systems to track how the technology is being used by governments around the world to crack down on protests. Read our new feature by @darrenloucaides restofworld.org/2024/facial-re…
