This is a very interesting thread. Hoping to find the time to read the report.
Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU. It summarises the state of the science on AI capabilities and risks, and how to mitigate those risks. 🧵 Link to full Report: assets.publishing.service.go… 1/16

This is interesting. Canada’s low investment in IP is known, but I’ve never seen it contrasted with investment in “dwellings”. It highlights the contrast with other countries.

The WNBA may have accidentally leaked the name of its Toronto expansion franchise. Fans have noticed the name 'Toronto Tempo' in a drop-down list on the league's site. More from @colincsalao ⬇️

This is a fascinating interview, especially if you either appreciate or have been duped by ‘NBACentel’. (I have definitely been duped a few times before I realized it.)
Basketball news aggregator 'NBA Central' has 1.7 million followers on X. 'NBACentel', however, has 154,000 followers—and despite disclosing that it is a parody, continues to fool many. @byajperez interviewed the Toronto man behind the account ⬇️

Dalton Knecht was fun to watch in March Madness last year. Exciting to see him have such a great rookie preseason game 🏀
Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht STOLE THE SHOW scoring TWENTY STRAIGHT in the 4Q and OT leading LAL to the #NBAPreseason victory! 🔥 35 PTS 🔥 7 REB 🔥 8 3PM 🔥 10-18 FGM

Summer McIntosh 🥇 but with French play-by-play. Magnifique. As someone who is both bilingual and who did play-by-play, French commentary is just different. The French call of 2018 Moir/Virtue is the best example.

Wow. This is worth a watch/listen. I enjoyed watching Reggie Jackson play baseball growing up. I was completely unaware of what he was enduring at the time.
Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

This is an awesome photo! (I appreciate it even more as I’m shopping for a replacement for my current DSLR.)
Honestly, might be my favorite shot I’ve taken in 7 years of working for the MLB. #bluejays #vladimirguerrerojr

This is funny, and also shows the power of branding and sponsorships. (And Pascal is always fun.)

This is a very cool moment.
Long-time announcer, Rod Black, got to commentate his son Tyler’s second career hit in his MLB debut from the stands ❤️ What a moment. (via: @mlb)
