Wait till the big prompt breaches kick off. Institutions are spraying sensitive data into AI stacks where the incentive at every layer is: retain data for training... and grow fast. We're building a generationally juicy target for hackers. 1/

We’re seeing encouraging recovery progress, with service availability and email delivery performance improving across a growing portion of affected infrastructure. We know our customers rely on our services to get important work done every day, and regret the impact these outages had on those who depend on us. We will continue to share more information as we have it, and for now we can confirm that there is no indication this is the result of malicious or cyber activity. Our teams are reviewing what happened and how we can prevent similar issues going forward.

Profoundly disagree with @juliedabrusin claiming the @Govenrment of Canada is “absolutely committed to our Paris commitments.” The reality is that we’re not! My thoughts here: backchannel1.substack.com/p/… Je suis en profond désaccord avec @juliedabrusin qui affirme que le Canada est « totalement engagé à respecter nos engagements de Paris ». La réalité est que nous les avons abandonnés.

The Chatham House Rule is used around the world to encourage inclusive and open dialogue by allowing participants in meetings to report what was said, but not who said it. It allows people to speak as individuals, and to express views that may not be those of their organizations. People usually feel more relaxed if they don’t have to worry about their reputation or the implications if they are publicly quoted. 2027 marks the centenary of the Rule, which was born in the aftermath of the First World War. Today it facilitates diplomatic conversations, think tank roundtables, corporate boardroom discussions, NGO consultations and many other gatherings worldwide. Find out more: bit.ly/3XlUgqA

Sorry mendacious climate deniers. The #HockeyStick is longer and sharper now, as demonstrated by an independent group of ~80 paleoclimate scientists around the world: skepticalscience.com/print.p…
Fossil fuel caused Climate change deniers are still using a misleading image from fossil fuel lobby groups. It pretends that the medieval warm period was global, all at the same time & globally warmer than today. None of these are true as even their own image shows. A thread...

World heading for ‘irrevocable overshoot’ of global temperature thresholds. Failure to cut emissions will ‘consign humanity to disasters they are unable to adapt to’. This level of warming smashes the 1.5C threshold. Beyond this point already harmful storms, droughts, heatwaves, flooding and other impacts will become intolerable for parts of the world and potentially trigger runaway #climate change that won’t be contained. theguardian.com/environment/…

Things I have discovered: Teenagers have plenty of confidence with little learned knowledge. At 64, I now have tons of earned knowledge, but at the expense of confidence. It's like pouring a gallon of experience into a shot glass of understanding. There's bound to be spillage.

Bad: Full hospitals. Long COVID. Good: Flu and COVID vaccines. Better: Air filtration and masks. Best: Not having to learn the hard way that prevention is cheaper than healthcare.

Chair of @EliLillyandCo joins the chorus of people who know something about biology who say that Dario is absolutely full of shit. Many of those who have spoken out are lifetime medical researchers who are very AI positive. But we all know that on the eve of the IPO Dario has grossly misled the public about what is actually near-term possible.
I think that would be amazing and I think it’s not likely. The map of biology is still largely a blank page and randomized human proof is the long pole in the tent. I am excited about the use of AI in our sector but progress will likely be steady and incremental.

To understand how politics has damaged the reputation of scientific knowledge in the US, just consider our society is assigning $1T to Anthropic value because its CEO promised to cure all diseases when every single person who has actually tried developing a drug says it's a lie
