I normally don’t think much of these pictures showing people on smartphones but this video from last night in Paris is pretty wild.

This is Joseph Ruiz. In 2021, the FBI seized his life savings—$57,000—from his safe deposit box in LA. He could no longer afford his medical treatments & he struggled to buy food.
The kicker: He wasn't suspected of a crime.
There are many other victims in this saga. A thread.

Spent some time discussing hot topics in data with the @DUNYevent team. One of the things I think we’re underestimating is that AI will make qualitative datasets quantitative. “Based on security footage which of my wait staff makes customers happy?” was once hard to answer.

Just glorified compression eh?
Let's see what middle out can do...

Recent papers support that current artificial intelligence paradigm - deep learning - is based on compression. Transformers & diffusion models encode compressed versions of the original data. AI is currently just glorified compression.

Fantastic primer for those wanting to understand some key principles related to the “AGI” acronym being bandied about now and why the OpenAI fiasco needs a wider lens than most of the fanboying going on.

Most ppl are missing the key point regarding OpenAI This is not standard startup drama This is literally a fight for the survival of humanity, linked to the original purpose of OpenAI: saving us from the end of the world: 🧵

HRW’s deputy programme director Tom Porteous says that in the case of Ukraine, the US and Europe denounced Russian war crimes. Fast forward 18 months from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the West is largely silent on war crimes by Israel in Gaza.

@chaseleantj Wow, these are absolutely stunning. The level of detail DALL·E 3 adds leaves me in complete awe. Prompt: Black and white technical drawing showcasing an advanced mecha robot with lots of weapons and defences. Annotations detail its powers and capabilities.

@Forward4ever @jukkan Great post! Perhaps could benefit from a few more recommendations as it relates to ALM/pipelines, environment guard rails, documentation and good ole multiplexing!

Uh, nope. You have to be invited via a motion to testify at a HoC committee meeting, and Smith wasn't. The invite was specifically for Ministers Jean and Neudorf - not the Alberta govt. You can't just sub in, even if you're the premier. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #ableg #cdnpoli

On Tuesday I accepted on behalf of the Government of Alberta an invitation to appear appear at the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. Today they sent a letter rejecting my attendance.
That was the fastest response we’ve ever received from the feds - apparently they don’t want me to testify about electricity grid reliability or our pursuit of carbon neutrality by 2050 after all…wonder why?
