It is so strange that we have to figure out how (or even whether) our latest software does critical functions that would normally have to be carefully designed. More like biology or psychology than computer science.

Trump on NATO: "If the United States was in trouble and we called them. We said, 'We got a problem, France.' Do you think they're gonna come and protect us? Hmm. They're supposed to. I'm not so sure." (Literally the only time NATO Article 5 was invoked was after 9/11 on behalf of the US.)

Let's renew @garymarcus.bsky.social's effort to refer to our current form of AI as Broad, Shallow Intelligence: BSI. This is all we have right now, a digitized Good Will Hunting, something that's ingested every book yet knows nothing about the actual world. garymarcus.substack.com/p/agi-versus...

Congratulations to Rich Sutton and Andrew Barto on receiving the Turing Award in recognition of their significant contributions to ML. I also stand with them: Releasing models to the public without the right technical and societal safeguards is irresponsible. www.ft.com/content/d8f8...

Er moet een Europese luchtverdedigingsmissie komen boven Oekraïne. Trump laat Oekraïne vallen en het is aan Europa om in dat gat te springen. Dat vereist niet alleen meer steun, maar ook nieuwe soorten steun. Tijd voor Europa om West- Oekraïne te beschermen tegen Russische raketten en drones. 1/9

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

“Governor Trudeau” is part of the Trump administration’s ethos of pathological insecurity. A weak person is constantly compelled to insult and belittle others, even allies, to show “strength.” An actually strong person isn’t. Bullies are weak, as are their sycophants.

Should we accept some folks getting rich & powerful at the expense of original creators? So many aspects around AI have not been tied up yet, we must put this house in order before living in it. The tense relation with musicians, writers, artists and others is literally at the foundation of it all.

Verdeeldheid is onze grootste vijand. Als we een vrije en veilige wereld willen, dan heeft Europa leiderschap nodig. Niet tientallen premiers, maar één Europese minister van buitenlandse zaken die ons wereldwijd een daadkrachtige stem geeft. on.ft.com/3XNQLqD

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Once again, @mjcrockett.bsky.social knows what's up. The current generation of "AI" is only capable of winning rigged games against humans at creative tasks. These games replace complex social behaviors with narrow, individual, quantified tasks. And this points to a bigger problem... (1/2)

Precies drie jaar geleden begon Poetin zijn agressieoorlog tegen Oekraïne, een oorlog die tot op de dag van vandaag talloze levens verwoest. Het is belangrijker dan ooit om solidair te blijven met het Oekraïense volk, in het belang van zowel Oekraïne als onze eigen veiligheid.

There’s essentially no chance of making LLM-based approaches as safe; they are too opaque and unwieldy to yeild any safety guarantees whatsover. It’s not out of the question that another approach might do better, but not guaranteed, either. So… maybe.

Vandaag is het drie jaar sinds de brute invasie van Poetin in Oekraïne. Dagelijks vechten Oekraïners voor onze gedeelde vrijheid en veiligheid. Nu Trump hen laat vallen, houden wij ze extra vast—want hun strijd is de onze. Oekraïne verdient een verdubbeling van onze steun. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
