How can we look beyond the AI models themselves to anticipate what’s about to happen? See my notes on my recent @brighthink.bsky.social discussion with Christopher Summerfield: www.linkedin.com/pulse/strang...

Reminds me of Swift’s Modest Proposal.
Très sus.
I'm in Germany, listing to talks at a tech conference, people warning about the US Dept of War exercising control over Silicon Valley AI companies. Over the weekend, there were so many young people in German army uniforms in the train stations: ready to defend democracy against American fascism.
The official term for this behavior is "CYA"
My translation into the California dialect for this behavior is "GFY"
OH: CEOs now initiating large layoffs "due to AI" are often hiding the deets, such as how their sales have dropped, how their planning and policies for growth have been poorly executed, how much projections represented to their Board had been wildly overstated, and so on.
I hope the NYC version is better though.
In some locations, Marriott drips with irony: one travels long distances to find the restaurants in the hotel have restricted hours, one must have a reservation. All info is printed in dark ink on dark backgrounds, impossible to read in their mood lighting.
marriott hotels are soooo horrible
New article for Truthdig!! Jeffrey Epstein was a transhumanist who funded transhumanists like Ben Goertzel, was friends with Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis, and met with people like Bryan Johnson and Eliezer Yudkowsky. Check it out:

America Christian Nationalists woke up this morning pondering, "Who Would Jesus Bomb?"
The “big picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement.
And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent.

Peter Mandelson, the Russian superyacht and the scandal we completely misread. By Tamsin Shaw. Pictured: Peter Mandelson in front of a picture of a yacht
Remember Yachtgate - the original Mandelson scandal?
In 2008, he was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paedophile kompromat and New Labour access that shaped a decade of British politics

OH: tech bros in Silicon Valley discussing their commitments to postpone procreating, so they could have post (s-word) children after (a-acronym) becomes reality.
hot take: THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! WE NEED A KICKSTARTER TO PROMOTE THIS IDEA FAR AND WIDE. LET'S F*CKING GO!!!

So many different ways to change up flavors with this approach!

New article! The quote is from roon, an OpenAI employee. I discuss how virtually everyone in Silicon Valley imagines a future in which digital beings usurp humanity, as well as the growing divide between people who think ASI is imminent and those who say LLMs are a "dead end."👇
Shiitake only absorb some of the sweeter flavor here. It works as a subtle contrast to the acid from the gastrique, and also to complement the asparagus flavor
PS: as one of the co-chairs for the "software-eng-meets-graphs" workshop at ISWC last year, this hits home: G.V() is putting into practice what we identified at Dagstuhl in early 2024 -- and they're doing much more!
Their highly recommended “The Weekly Edge” newsletter has become a go-to source for timely info about graph technologies, vendors, conferences, and so on.
There's been broad adoption by cloud providers, using gdotv as a “lingua franca” to connect across graph platforms. The gdotv team also connects the communities engaged with these graph technologies.
Having a cross-vendor graph IDE was missing – and with that, some aspects of software engineering practices weren't likely to develop for graph technologies.
Looking back at the company's first blog post in 2023, founder Arthur Bigeard took a detailed look at how SQL databases provide toolkits to help developers, analysts, stakeholders, et al., collaborate together...
In practice, @gdotv.bsky.social connects many graph technologies – we counted 33 integrations among popular platforms!
... where one can write/test/debug queries in using Cypher, Gremlin, SPARQL and other query languages, then visualize and analyze query results, as well as iterating on graph schema discovery across your data sources.
G.V() – more formally, gdotv, Ltd., and pronounced "gee-dot-vee" – has been taking the graph world by storm over the past few years. Their product is described as a graph database IDE, providing an all-in-one graph query client ...
... including the role of visualization, how graph viz differs from traditional BI viz, and which works best for which circumstances; plus the maturity level of the graph industry, and other key influencing factors.
In this episode we’re delighted to host Christian as our guest to discuss connecting the world’s graph technologies and related communities. Let's explore the role of an IDE for graph technologies, looking back at historical use and looking forward to the next generation of dev tools ...
