@ramkay hello, how are things going? I haven't heard anything from you or @amenonsen in a while, I'm guessing the power or network are out or something? I hope everything's okay
Hi
Thanks for following up.
Traveling,
In our areas things have unraveled, heavy rains, minor landslides, but nothing worrisome as yet.
The tail end of the monsoons has a whiplash. - on going now.
The EU’s naval force boarded its sixth Russian shadow fleet tanker, the MV SUN, on August 30th in the Mediterranean.
“Illegal oil sales from shadow fleet ships are a critical lifeline for Russia’s war in Ukraine, and we’ll continue to cut them off”, says EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas.

@randahl the commandos seem excessive, but they deserve to have fun too.

@jon after a few million years of evolution, or about two days of train travel, you can go from Ape to Neanderthal

Das LG Duisburg lehnt im Prozess gegen neun Polizist*innen zwei Anträge der Nebenklage ab: Es sollte ein neues Gutachten eingebracht und ein Sachverständiger gehört werden. Diese hätten belegen können, dass Ibrahima Barry vorsätzlich sterben gelassen wurde:

Es gibt nichts unpolitisches.
"Das Politische ist privat und das Private ist politisch." Der Ruf nach "unpolitischen" Künstlern wird lauter. Ich erlebe das leider auch und muss, um meinen Job nicht zu verlieren, teilweise mit Zensur kämpfen.

I love @davidgerard calling out Gruber and Rands.
If the slop machine is so good, why aren’t they proud that they use it? They’re showing their entire #aiARSE out there.

We must not see this as an AI problem at all.
This is an obvious attempt by OpenAI to create regulatory lock-in for AI use, make local, "ungoverned" AI look dangerous, and require people to use AI-as-a-service from a licensed and managed provider, justifying the existence of OpenAI in the first place.
Current frontier models require large clusters of graphics cards with fast memory in the Terabyte range in the first place.
If you improve that by a factor of 100, the same frontier-level capability will run on a desktop machine, with 16 GB to 256 GB of memory and a memory bandwidth in the 256-512 GB/s range – things that already exist and can be bought and run by anyone.
The need for all these data centers, AI-as-a-service subscriptions and the trillions of investment will evaporate. Maybe not completely, but 85% of it.
This happens, at the current rate of improvement, in less than 3 years, because a 100x improvement are three to four 4x improvements and we see these arriving at a rate right now faster than once a year.
This entire discussion is not about responsibility or dangerous AI. It is about securing the reason of existence for OpenAI and Anthropic, killing off open weights models as "dangerous unmanaged AI" and making AI a subscription only model, for safety and security.

Europe attracts and fosters top talent. 🔬
The European Research Council has awarded €705 million in Starting Grants to 421 early-career researchers across Europe.
This gives them the opportunity to pursue bold ideas, build their own teams, and shape the future of science.
We'll also welcome 21 researchers, currently based in the US and Canada, who will move to Europe to carry out their projects. This is almost double last year's number.

@EUCommission
Who is this researcher and why is she alone ?
I thought science was built by teams in cooperation with other teams...

My wife and I often talk about this frustration of there being so many different parking apps, depending on where you live or visit, which the Guardian piece calls "parkware." Why not one global parking app? A tongue-cheek public service announcement of sorts.
