This, exactly!

Quite a moment when top military commanders are reacting to Elon's latest manic weekend email outburst as though it's a provocation from a rival state power

another Nazi salute at CPAC

Daily reminder of who Musk is:

We created a new channel with daily new vision and graphics papers trending (liked/read) on www.scholar-inbox.com. This is the bsky equivalent of AK on X! Follow now, and never miss a beat again: bsky.app/profile/si-c...

The things I've found hardest about research have all been non-technical: maintaining confidence and self-esteem, not abandoning the work when it's too hard or stressful, finding time to learn new things. In comparison, the technical parts are much easier

Stop with the bullshit euphemisms. This is a Nazi salute. You know it. They know it. There's simply no "benefit of the doubt" to give.

Conference organizers should honestly consider relocating to more science-friendly places

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

I’ve collaborated with Jaesung in the past. He is a great teammate and also a strong and fast coder. Any team will be very lucky to have him on board!

These are war crimes under the Geneva Convention and its 1977 Additional Protocols. qudsnen.co/oxfam-israel...

Hope they keep posting all this shit in plain sight so we can use it to take them to The Hague

ETH starts a series of exciting guest talks on Robotics, Vision, and Controls this week. Tomorrow at 12:00 Zurich time, @adai.bsky.social from TU Munich will give a talk titled "From Quantity to Quality for 3D Perception." robotics-talks.com #robotics

“Forty-one U.S. senators could use the filibuster to block most legislation that enables the funding of Musk’s companies. With 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents in the Senate, such a push is numerically possible, though politically difficult.“

Since we're in a world where this is in question, if you have any opposition to trans folks or would be opposed to trans folks in the research community, there's no spot for you in my lab or collaborations.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

We've all been making fun of Gary "the wall" Marcus in the past 5 years, but this text is spot on. LLMs are propaganda weapons the Soviet apparatus could never have dreamed of. And they're being promoted right now by powerful authoritarians. It's terrifying.

Elon Musk’s terrifying vision for AI; short, urgent new piece at Marcus on AI. I can’t remain silent - and hope you won’t, either. open.substack.com/pub/garymarc...

Musk's "terrifying vision" manifests the fascistic solutionism I wrote about in 'Resisting AI - An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence' bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/resisting-ai. The entanglements go much deeper than bias and propaganda...

📢 Short deadline extension (24/2) -- One more week left to submit your application!

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

One of the questions after my talk today was about scientists refusing to buck the administration because they fear losing their jobs. I said that a lot of self-styled apolitical scientists lost their jobs this week, so silence will not save them. Respond and keep your values and dignity.

Well, I guess now we know that humanoid robots won’t become a thing. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My heart ached when I was reminded that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for trying to make academic knowledge more accessible to the public. Meta, meanwhile, is doing it for their own bottom line. I'm going to guess that no one at Meta will be looking at spending 35 years in jail for this.

@cvprconference.bsky.social what are the plans exactly for future CVPR meetings? Is there / will there be some announcement? Many of us do not feel safe and actually we don’t want travelling to the US after the current developments.
