J. Robert Oppenheimer created the atom bomb, but he could not control its use. Perhaps this is the privilege and fate of all history's great scientists.

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.

Botero desembarcó en Nueva York soñando ser el mejor artista del mundo. En pleno apogeo del expresionismo abstracto insistió en su estilo figurativo y nadó contra la corriente.

Años después regresa a esta ciudad por lo más alto: primera expo individual de @Sothebys. Imperdible.

Abelardo no solo planea posesionarse en el Cauca. También quiere convertir a Barranquilla en una segunda capital administrativa y despachar periódicamente desde Cali. Tres de los bastiones políticos del petrismo. Oficialmente empezó la campaña del 2030.

Here's the statement: https://t.co/BjiX5fGGhJ

We Must Act Now
A Statement on AI’s Transformation of the Economy

1. AI may become radically more powerful over the next 10 years.
2. This could drive an unprecedented transformation of our economy, larger than the Industrial Revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter time frame. It could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, as well as opportunities such as major gains in living standards.
3. Economists, policymakers and technology leaders must act now to understand the economics of transformative AI and to build the incentives, guardrails, and institutions needed to steer AI in a direction that complements humans and benefits society.

It was organized by Ajay Agrawal, @akorinek, @testingham and me.

"La gente siempre me ha preguntado ahora que usted ha expuesto en las capitales más conocidas, ¿dónde más podrá mostrarlas? , y sin vacilar he respondido siempre: en mi tierra, en Medellín, que para mí ha sido y seguirá siendo el lugar más importante del mundo." -Botero, 2000
