AI in the Real World - Marlene Mhangami & Tim Allen YouTube video by Django Chat

I was a guest of William Vincent and Carlton Gibson's #Django Chat podcast, alongside my friend Marlene Mhangami from Microsoft. We chatted about “A.I. in the Real World”, and found a lot of common ground. It was nice to have a hype-free discussion of the algorithms! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fyG...

Here we go again.

Sensationalist headlines. Unproven causal links. And unclear migration figures based on shaky proxies.

🧵 Here’s the 2 big problems with the FT's new report…

1⃣They don’t really know how many left.
2⃣They have no idea why they left.

Why your government is about to raise YOUR taxes YouTube video by Garys Economics

The UK government will be forced to raise taxes at the Budget in October – but taxes on who? Here are my predictions

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿
I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

Why billionaires are funding the far right

There is no strict Constitutional amendment against having sex with minors, being blackmailed about it, murdering the person who is blackmailing you, and then altering the videotape of the murder. So it's hard to see why some on the left are so upset with Trump right now.

The Great Hunger is coming

My 3 year-old was reading the Times when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, why did the senator ask mean questions to the nice plastic surgery lady?" And when I told him "because that lady pledged to liberate LA from socialists," he started crying.

The UK gov't softened tax reforms on the super rich because of the widely reported “exodus” of millionaires fleeing the UK.

Our new investigation shows that "exodus" was a complete fiction. #BogusExodus #TaxTheSuperRich taxjustice.net/press/millio...

That officer took deliberate aim at this journalist and shot her. There's nobody standing near her.

In case anyone’s wondering, `jacobian . bsky . social` isn’t me. Super flattered that I now rank high enough to score an impersonator tho!

NEW from me: China's CO2 emissions fell ~1.6% in the first quarter and have now been flat or down for more than a year. This is the first time on record that emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand.

Since this was a philosophy topic... "knowledge" at a first pass needs to be both true and give rise to justified belief. Given we should suspect everything to be false, nothing they tell can qualify as knowledge. Even if true, we're not justified in believing it.

Knowledge machines they ain't.

Whatever these tools are good for, search isn’t it.

Was looking for a remark of Wittgenstein's, about the "…" in a series not being of laziness.

Thought maybe Claude'll know.

Started well. Gave a quote, with a reference, that was right. Then started making stuff up. It was like reading a late-night, last-minute, undergraduate essay.

Two-thirds of global heating caused by richest 10%, study suggests Paper in Nature Climate Change journal reveals major role wealthy emitters play in driving climate extremes

if the whole world population had emitted as per the richest 0.1% since 1990, the global temperature increase would have been 12.2C

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977.

Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

40 Years ago Carl Sagan knew about Climate change and he was so aware of it's impact on Nature more than us we do right now.

His line is “Don’t use SQL”? Oh my.
