@AntoineArnault_ Oui enfin… Ouvrir une plateforme de réservation qui bug sur Chrome (=75% des navigateurs), c’est un peu problématique.
Encore plus problématique de remonter le problème via vos équipes (screenshot à l’appui) et que rien ne soit fait.

[Lawrence Chan @justanotherlaw]

OpenAI has released the language in their contract with the DoW, and it's exactly as Anthropic was claiming: "legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will".

Note: the first paragraph doesn't say "no autonomous weapons"! It says "AI can't control autonomous weapons as long as existing law (that doesn't exist) or the DoD says so."

Similarly, the mass surveillance use cases will "comply with existing law", but many forms of data collection that we'd consider "mass surveillance" are things that the NSA has consistently argued are legal under current law.

@gchampeau @mickaelrigault Non. Rappelons que la France assumait aussi la Présidence française de l’Union Européenne à ce moment (!). Pas neutre. La conciliation avec une campagne nationale était quasi impossible dans cette configuration.

anyone else getting flashbacks to those early days when kids copied Wikipedia…
and forgot to remove the hyperlinks? 💀😇

[Christelle Dernon @chrisdernon]

when they said “you’ll be replaced by someone who knows how to use #AI”
they also meant “someone who knows its limits” 👀🙈

the critical skill in the intelligence age isn’t just how to prompt,
it’s also how to verify.

a costly reminder for Deloitte. 😬

Regardez cet extrait. Le président de la Commission des Finances ne sait pas valoriser une entreprise. L’illettrisme économique au pouvoir. Gravissime pour notre pays.

L’irresponsabilité d’un grand nombre de nos parlementaires risque de précipiter notre pays dans une crise financière. Comme d’habitude, ce sont les salariés qui travaillent le plus dur et les petits épargnants qui en seront les principales victimes. Mais ceux qui prétendent les défendre n’en ont cure.

@emma_ducros Haha pourquoi pas? Tant que tout ce qui « transite » est taxé à l’octroi de mer et / ou permet de rénover le réseau d’eau potable en Guadeloupe et / ou de réduire les taxes sur l’aérien ! 😅

Europe is “particularly well placed” to make the most of a coming wave in open-source AI, argue the tech CEOs. Yet fragmented regulation is “hampering innovation and holding back developers” https://t.co/fzRa1yyVwf

« Les statuts sont inertes. Ils ne changent et ne changeront ni la réalité ni les hommes. Il faudrait d’abord se demander qui voulons nous être à l’horizon 2050 ? […]

Après, nous pourrons envisager de quels moyens politiques et législatifs nous devons disposer. »

Merci 🙏

[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

To close out 2023, here are 10 of the most interesting AI research advancements we shared on our feed this year —  and where you can find more details on the work.

1️⃣ Segment Anything (SAM)
A step toward the first foundation model for image segmentation.
Details: https://t.co/S5ehZDCiZ4

2️⃣ DINOv2
The first method for training computer vision models that uses self-supervised learning to achieve results matching or exceeding industry standards.
Details: https://t.co/XG1nC7dzEt

3️⃣ Llama 2
The next generation of our open source large language model, available for free for research and commercial use.
Details: https://t.co/GZbuSZcJK6

4️⃣ Emu Video & Emu Edit
Generative AI research for high quality, diffusion-based text-to-video generation & controlled image editing with text instructions.
Details: https://t.co/WWWd4EYXKX

5️⃣ I-JEPA
Self-supervised computer vision that learns to understand the world by predicting it. The first model based on a component of @ylecun's vision to make AI systems learn and reason like animals and humans.
Details: https://t.co/GLBLCwx7Ni

6️⃣ Audiobox
Our new foundation research model for audio generation.
Details: https://t.co/PUpjnc8ZJp

7️⃣ Brain decoding - toward real-time reconstruction of visual perception
Using MEG, this AI system can decode the unfolding of visual representations in the brain with an unprecedented temporal resolution.
Details: https://t.co/pjHYxgYauc

8️⃣ Open Catalyst demo
A service that allows researchers to accelerate work in material sciences by enabling them to simulate the reactivity of catalyst materials faster than existing computational methods.
Details: https://t.co/8yNCckMVuK

9️⃣ Seamless Communication
A new family of AI translation models that preserve expression and deliver near-real time streaming translations.
Details: https://t.co/tKcZ9w2bO5

🔟 ImageBind
The first AI model capable of binding data from six modalities at once. A breakthrough that brings machines one step closer to the human ability to bind together information from many different senses.

@education_gouv Oui mais non.

17 classes lauréates de ce concours.

Sur ces 17 classes, il n’y avait que des enfants blancs? J’en doute.

Et même si c’était le cas, quelle pertinence de les choisir pour reprendre un discours de MLK sur les droits civiques?!

Remettez-vous en question.

[Christelle Dernon @chrisdernon]

@education_gouv 🤦🏾‍♀️
Vraiment? Pas une personne a la DELCOM ou au cab pour voir le probleme ?!

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

This is huge: Llama-v2 is open source, with a license that authorizes commercial use!

This is going to change the landscape of the LLM market.
Llama-v2 is available on Microsoft Azure and will be available on AWS, Hugging Face and other providers

Pretrained and fine-tuned models are available with 7B, 13B and 70B parameters.
