.@realDonaldTrump still has absolutely no idea what he was trying to do, how he was going to do it, why he wasn't able to do it, or what he's going to do next to try to fix what he has no idea he broke.

He's a delusional, crackbrained, and deranged moron.

It's just that simple.

Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives."

"But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

You wake up and in the first 5 minutes you read that Trump:

▪️Obviously raped children

▪️ Started a war to distract from this rape

▪️ Is openly taking billions in bribes

▪️ Is a hard-core racist

▪️ Is destroying the world economy

▪️ Is openly colluding with Russia

@LulaOficial @grok essas afirmações são verdadeiras?

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.”

Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing?

There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

[Andrew Ng @AndrewYNg]

At the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris this week, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said, “I’m not here to talk about AI safety.... I’m here to talk about AI opportunity.” I’m thrilled to see the U.S. government focus on opportunities in AI. Further, while it is important to use AI responsibly and try to stamp out harmful applications, I feel “AI safety” is not the right terminology for addressing this important problem. Language shapes thought, so using the right words is important. I’d rather talk about “responsible AI” than “AI safety.” Let me explain.

First, there are clearly harmful applications of AI, such as non-consensual deepfake porn (which creates sexually explicit images of real people without their consent), the use of AI in misinformation, potentially unsafe medical diagnoses, addictive applications, and so on. We definitely want to stamp these out! There are many ways to apply AI in harmful or irresponsible ways, and we should discourage and prevent such uses.

However, the concept of “AI safety” tries to make AI — as a technology — safe, rather than making safe applications of it. Consider the similar, obviously flawed notion of “laptop safety.” There are great ways to use a laptop and many irresponsible ways, but I don’t consider laptops to be intrinsically either safe or unsafe. It is the application, or usage, that determines if a laptop is safe. Similarly, AI, a general-purpose technology with numerous applications, is neither safe nor unsafe. How someone chooses to use it determines whether it is harmful or beneficial.

Now, safety isn’t always a function only of how something is used. An unsafe airplane is one that, even in the hands of an attentive and skilled pilot, has a large chance of mishap. So we definitely should strive to build safe airplanes (and make sure they are operated responsibly)! The risk factors are associated with the construction of the aircraft rather than merely its application. Similarly, we want safe automobiles, blenders, dialysis machines, food, buildings, power plants, and much more.

“AI safety” presupposes that AI, the underlying technology, can be unsafe. I find it more useful to think about how applications of AI can be unsafe.

Further, the term “responsible AI” emphasizes that it is our responsibility to avoid building applications that are unsafe or harmful and to discourage people from using even beneficial products in harmful ways.

If we shift the terminology for AI risks from “AI safety” to “responsible AI,” we can have more thoughtful conversations about what to do and what not to do.

I believe the 2023 Bletchley AI Safety Summit slowed down European AI development — without making anyone safer — by wasting time considering science-fiction AI fears rather than focusing on opportunities. Last month, at Davos, business and policy leaders also had strong concerns about whether Europe can dig itself out of the current regulatory morass and focus on building with AI. I am hopeful that the Paris meeting, unlike the one at Bletchley, will result in acceleration rather than deceleration.

In a world where AI is becoming pervasive, if we can shift the conversation away from “AI safety” toward responsible [use of] AI, we will speed up AI’s benefits and do a better job of addressing actual problems. That will actually make people safer.

The dehumanization and scapegoating of immigrants is a prelude to their mistreatment.
The word fascism is thrown around too much these days, but this is the very essence of fascism (black shirts, brown shirts, and all).

"Analysis of the fatalities data in the current war ... suggests that the MoH is a reputable source of information for total fatality numbers and its most recent estimate that over 8,000 Gazans have been killed so far should be viewed as credible."

@LulaOficial Não é guerra, é invasão, e a gente sabe bem como isso deve acabar: a Rússia sai.

Amazing: Google partnered with American Airlines, used AI to tweak flight paths to reduce contrails.

The results are in, and if scaled up this could immediately reduce aviation's global warming impact by almost 20%

More evidence that Putin's invasion of Ukraine is a war of imperial conquest and not some preemptive, defensive act to stop NATO expansion.

A resposta da pergunta está nesse mesmo tweet: até a Rússia sair da Ucrânia.

[Lula @LulaOficial]

Sinto que nem o Putin nem o Zelensky estão falando em paz agora. Parece que os dois estão convencidos que alguém vai ganhar. Mas somente a paz vai fazer com que não morram mais pessoas. Brasil, China, Índia e Indonésia são alguns países empenhados em construir a paz. Todos nós condenamos a ocupação territorial da Ucrânia, os russos não tinham o direito de fazer isso. Mas isso irá até quando?

Great journey for #DingLiren from qualifying for the candidates, thanks to the ban of Karjakin, to World Champion. Very well deserved!!!
