The graph itself serves as an evidentiary chain from structure back to language. This is important for using entity resolution with graphs, where some resolutions must be scoped based on data, while others require judgement by users after they’ve been working with the graph visualization.
... letting a team work together to interpret the data and figure out its structure over time, rather than locking everything into rigid definitions upfront.
Instead of working to extract “facts” from unstructured content, Kineviz promotes a practice called knowledge maps for developing evidence-linked structure and context within a graph. One might think of this as a kind of “late-binding” to build context and meaning gradually ...
How about visually comparing results from different graph algorithms side by side? How about leveraging generative AI tools to augment what you’re seeing in a graph?
Many people are familiar with the basics of graph visualization, such as using pre-set layouts, though Kineviz goes much further. consider other ways in which visualizations could be augmented…
What happens when you combine graph technology, interactive visualization, and generative AI? Kineviz builds a visual platform used for collecting and exploring complex connections in data, uncovering hidden patterns, and ultimately helping people make better-informed decisions.
In this episode we’re delighted to host Weidong Yang, CEO @ Kineviz @kineviz.bsky.social as our guest to explore how advanced graph visualizations and AI tools work together. We'll also talk about related communities and projects — including Kinetic Arts, the project from which Kineviz grew.

treated image of Tony Blair, Larry Ellison, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch and Benjamin Netanyahu with the caption: "As Tony Blair criticises Starmer for not joining Trump’s war, read Carole Cadwalladr on Blair, Big Tech and the Israel connection"
As the right wing press praises Tony Blair for his "rebuke" of Keir Starmer for not supporting Donald Trump's war on Iran ("We should have backed America from the very beginning."), time to re-up @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's investigation into the Tony Blair Institute

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...

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!!!

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
