a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes'

gentle reminder that deepseek is an open-weight model and NOT open source. there's nothing open about it; no information on how its trained or data trained on, just like its western counterparts
Any company whose mission is to “to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” would be ecstatic about a capable open source model like Deepseek released.

Any company which has a mission of making money off closed-source models would be devastated tho.

Very interesting! 👀
1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
The Mystery of Food Deserts
They didn’t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.

Beware priest comrades. They’re also coming for you.
Swiss church creates virtual ‘AI Jesus’ talking booth, says 2/3 visiting have a spiritual experience.

eJesus starts off each time: "Do not disclose personal information under any circumstances, use this service at your own risk. Press the button if you accept."

We need an account to serve as a constant reminder for all impending forecasts of this sort.
Agreed: every one of these predictions will prove to be incorrect.

AGI will not arrive by 2030.
When we look back at this in mid 2030, and then 2040, nobody will acknowledge that anyone had actually believed this. In fact nobody will believe anyone could have believed it. Such are popular delusions and madness of crowds.

Can’t even start to unpack this. But, seriously doubt it. Let’s ping this one on the calendar for 2 years from now and ask for the numbers 🙄
