Zohran Mamdani: “A lot of what we’ve come to accept as the facts of life across our country is driven by democratic socialist principles. If today you and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today and yet that’s the library. And the same thing with the fire department and the same thing with public schools”

Observadores incautos poderiam ver na acção deste ministro um padrão de incompetência, má preparação, hubris descabelada e falta de respeito pelos portugueses, mas o Jorge sabe que se trata de uma epopeia heróica de “gestão da mudança” a que este povo ingrato não sabe dar valor.

🇪🇺 Chat Control has passed 😔

They can and will now legally scan any person's messages, emails and photos you send without a warrant

The way they passed this law when the majority of the European Parliament was against it will shock you:

They waited until most EP members were on holiday so only a few were present and then created an "urgent" vote for it to pass it through

There's nothing democratic about any of it and big powerful forces are behind this that can manipulate the EU for whatever they want

Democracy in Europe died a bit today 😔

If FIFA want to stay consistent with their statutes, suspension of the United States Federation and team from the World Cup for political interference should follow! #FIFAWorldCup

This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads.

Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.

Our paper "Towards autonomous medical artificial intelligence agents" is out in @Nature today! It was led by @Dykex6 who did the real work here.

We present MIRA, an autonomous AI agent that runs end to end through a clinical patient case. We build it on top of LLMs and provide it with scaffolding, tools, and most importantly, a thorough evaluation against human doctors. We show that our agent can solve a clinical case in a multistep process. It takes the history, orders labs and scans, selects medications, decides on procedures, and triages for admission.

For me the most important part is that we can now benchmark humans against AI for the whole decision pathway, not just the end result. Our evaluation shows very good results, almost no severe errors, these AI agents perform just really well on difficult medical cases.

As we move now to implement this in real clinical routine, and run clinical trials about it, we must first fix the infrastructure in our hospitals (and also ensure we still have access to the underlying LLMs...).

Kudos also to our colleagues from Google and Deepmind who published a very similar study back-to-back with us! (https://t.co/mnCsdMCEyE) We are happy that with <<0.01% of Google's R&D budget we can contribute to this space together.

Thanks to all co-authors, our institutions @UniHeidelberg @tudresden_de and also the great @EricTopol for covering us in his newsletter. Congratulations to Dyke and the whole team!

Google has an internal "let it break" essay about a hero engineer whose hard work ends up being a net negative (by masking the underlying issues). My manager sent me that essay when I was trying too hard to get the collective TensorFlow unit test suite green.

Talking of spines, Anthropic definitely has one. May they continue to expose and resist the Pentagon’s blackmail.

[Ilya Sutskever @ilyasut]

It’s extremely good that Anthropic has not backed down, and it’s siginficant that OpenAI has taken a similar stance.

In the future, there will be much more challenging situations of this nature, and it will be critical for the relevant leaders to rise up to the occasion, for fierce competitors to put their differences aside. Good to see that happen today.
