Switzerland comes closer than any nation to Lincoln’s ideal of government of the people, by the people, for the people. Four times a year its citizens are called to the polls—not to weigh parties or personalities, but to decide directly the questions that govern their lives. #swissreferendum

@MistralAI For Mistral this seems like positive news. I think open models will be a big part of the future

[David Gorgan @davidgorgan]

Regarding the recent Anthropic Fable export control news. Do we actually have frontier AI companies in Europe that have the potential to actually become truly competitive in the future?

[David Gorgan @davidgorgan]

Thinking beyond just @MistralAI, the newer wave of companies working on things like world models. With the current scaling-driven paradigm it sadly already feels too late. But there will always be a next wave

[David Gorgan @davidgorgan]

Will be testing this in Switzerland instead

"The new “Siri AI” will not be available in the EU or China initially due to regulatory issues."

@Simon__Grimm @Ned_Donovan Absolutely agree! It's actually pretty close to where I grew up as well, although the flag is much nicer 😂 (I'm originally from Zurich, but we moved there in my early teens)

The only other such centers are in Bengaluru, Cupertino, Shanghai, and Singapore. Pretty interesting choices

RAS finally getting drugged is one of the great stories in modern biology, and almost nobody outside oncology understands why it's such a big deal.

YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING AWESOME TODAY.

i am going to keep this as understandable (and simple) as i can.

Didn't even see this before posting it, but to my initial point... https://t.co/JMKQLsrcMS

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Anthropic has confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pending completion of SEC review, this gives us the option to pursue an initial public offering.

I don't think this means very much given the marketing angle / upcoming IPO at play here. But I wonder if it implies anything about early access to future restricted releases:
• US cos and govt agencies first
• The UKs AISI evaluated it at/around launch
• EU (ENISA) only now, 2 months later (still WIP)
• Most allied govts not in yet (Switzerland confirmed interested; Norway/Canada/Australia/Japan/etc. unclear)

@SaidHaschemi Defense company in D would do pretty well

Bei deinen Beispielen war es tatsächlich eher Wissenschaft als Zeitgeist: Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass es kein einzelnes „Übergewichts-Gen" gibt (ähnlich bei Intelligenz), sondern viele kleine Genvariationen, die jeweils wenig beitragen. Dass BMI stark in der Veranlagung liegt (40-70%), ist aber gleichzeitig unbestritten und wird intensiv erforscht.

@corny_stripes @andyhelbig @david_hola_ It’s more of a trajectory thing. Munich raised more VC capital than Berlin in the past year, which I didn’t hear in a long time, and it‘s just my personal perception based on deep tech / defense momentum and relocations of founder friends

[David Gorgan @davidgorgan]

@andyhelbig @corny_stripes @david_hola_ Yes that sounds fair, wasn‘t aware of this! Will follow this

[David Gorgan @davidgorgan]

@karrisaarinen Funny, for me it was the other way around. First WoW, then UO (German free shard)

[David Gorgan @davidgorgan]

@DominiqueCAPaul @andyhelbig I would at least replace it with Munich (if not also Berlin) https://t.co/hlB5xOHVdy

[David Gorgan @davidgorgan]

@andyhelbig @david_hola_ I agree with Zurich but would absolutely replace Barcelona with Munich and Berlin (with Munich clearly leading)

@andyhelbig @david_hola_ would you agree?
