For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Chat Control has been passed, even though a majority voted against.
This is because @EPPGroup used an urgent procedure that would require an absolute majority to reject it.
What a disgusting way of politics. Europeans will remember, and vote the EPP out in the next election.

The confounding factor is that virtually every big company is overstaffed by 2-4x and has been for decades. AI is the catalyst/excuse to finally fix that. Of course nobody wants to say this out loud.

Noticing an interesting version of gell-man amnesia where people use AI for their job and see all the various things they have to do in the “last mile”, but then look at someone else’s job and think that AI will eliminate it immediately.
We all have a much deeper appreciation for the nuances and complexities of the work that we do every day. We run into issues about accessing data, we know how much context is needed to get AI models to work the way we need, we have to review the output of the AI to make sure it’s accurate, and then we have to incorporate that work into some broader business process. We see all those steps deeply for the work that we do.
Then, a moment later, we see AI do something in a foreign space and think that it can go automate that entire function. We tend to dramatically underestimate the work that goes into making the AI work just as effectively in those jobs.
This is reason to be skeptical about many of the theories of job loss. It’s coming from the lens of being able to automate individual tasks with AI, without understanding all the work that goes into doing the job fully.
A common dynamic I observe with AI: it feels most impressive when you don’t know much about the subject, don’t care or don’t have a clear idea of what the you want.
This applies across design, code, legal, and more. If I don’t know code very well, every piece of code it writes feels very impressive.
Once you know what something should feel or look like, it becomes almost impossible to guide AI there. And you definitely can’t one-shot it.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

“An era can be considered over when its basic illusions have been exhausted.” This quote lives rent-free in my mind.
Finally posting the first of a series I've been working on for years. Excited to share, challenge and learn from your feedback.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Well, f-ck me — I spent the past year training for the web3 nft blockchain quests that this guy said would change employment forever. Now he says all the jobs gone 😭
ALT from @gregisenberg: Today’s hiring process is broken In the future, you'll be able to apply for a job and start working 60 seconds later Thread: How NFTs will change hiring forever: https://twitter.com/gregisenberg/status/1456588827804545033
ALT gregisenberg tweet: How it will work: - You apply for a job - It scans the blockchain and rates your set of on chain experiences and credentials - If above a certain rating, you’re hired within 60 seconds No prejudice, no wasted time, no pain Just a quick yes or no This is a big deal 6:46 AM · Nov 5, 2021

When you prompt it well enough and copilot "gets" what you're trying to achieve, it is a discrete transition that feels like doing powerful combos and dealing critical damage in video games 🙌

Sorry to add a bad take to your timeline and you’ve probably already seen it, but just in case:
I think people should be aware that Andreessen thinks this is a good (?) argument?!

Unfortunately, #Germany's initial response to the crisis (incl. in build up), an impression was created that its policy moves at the 'speed of shame'
- only reacting to extreme external pressure frm allies & failing to formulate a clear policy of its own

The US & EU want to go back to their comfortable corruption, buying Russian oil & gas, applying weak sanctions, lip service about democracy, inviting Putin to summits & Davos. Dictators always escalate & the West kept folding. But this time a problem: Ukraine refuses to fold.

Russia decoupling: The government will abandon the requirement for publications in foreign scientific journals when implementing federal projects and will introduce its own system for evaluating the effectiveness of scientific research.
