YouTube video by Novara Media Greta Thunberg: ‘We Are Not Heroes. We Are Doing The Bare Minimum’

Excellent stuff from Greta! 👌🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

This is a category error for me, not for you? Apples vs Oranges?

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

This is an EU proposed policy with the benign-sounding name "Child Sexual Abuse Regulation" which proposes to screen private online communications using sketchy image-scanning algorithms. It is technically unworkable, and would be a privacy catastrophe, especially for those in authoritarian states

Open Letter & Formal Appeal to the South End Rowing Club Board Subject: Why the 60‑day suspension based on “door‑propping” should be withdrawn—and how to fix the policy, protect the Club, and move forward

I am preparing to defend myself on Oct 8th at my local swim club. They have wrongfully suspended me. #SERC You can read about it here. www.svgn.io/p/open-lette... The South End Rowing Club.

AI-generated ‘participants’ can lead social science experiments astray, study finds Data produced by “silicon samples” depends on researchers’ exact choice of models, prompts, and settings

People are running stats on LLM-generated participants and think they’re being social scientists when in fact they’re technically just playing a very strange video game. This is like saying you’re doing math research because you’re playing sudoku.

Paper title "The Non-Linear Representation Dilemma: Is Causal Abstraction Enough for Mechanistic Interpretability?" with the paper's graphical abstract showing how more powerful alignment maps between a DNN and an algorithm allow more complex features to be found and more "accurate" abstractions.

Mechanistic interpretability often relies on *interventions* to study how DNNs work. Are these interventions enough to guarantee the features we find are not spurious? No!⚠️ In our new paper, we show many mech int methods implicitly rely on the linear representation hypothesis🧵

Yesterday the Royal Society held a series of panels & keynotes in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Turing Test. The unanimous critical takes on AGI, big tech's power concentration & the call for urgent action left me w hope things might be turning

See, the thing is, Singal did violate the TOS, unambiguously. An then Bluesky changed it to accommodate him. You know this to be the case; you were there just as much as I was. So you're telling a lie. And you know it to be a lie. And that kind of makes you look like a shithead. I'm just saying.

The stark contrast between what is in the training (protecting against foreign influence, merit-based competition, freedom of inquiry, non-bias) and how the administration is acting is stunning. I feel like i've entered fucking bizzaro world

Who said "traffic congestion" ? If your argument is the brain is complex, and that my argument and or your brother's argument is reductionist, that's besides the point that he's publishing a point that is equivalent to the point that I published first years prior, and that's just the first thing.

The equivalences are proven with category theory and pi calculus, it's irrefutable, and the dates confirm my work has priority. Now you know something about your brother.
