The warnings from Microsoft and Palantir’s CEOs that using frontier AI models means handing over your IP to companies that may eventually compete with you no longer seems like FUD. Just look at what’s happening to mathematicians and scientists.

if you have 100,000 followers on bluesky, you need to understand that quote dunking a small account that didn’t do anything to you (especially when it’s a trans person) is effectively like controlling the eye of sauron and causing your horde of minions to chase after whatever you point it at

Former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson joins Palantir
Peer takes full-time position at the controversial company as it fends off pressure from both Andy Burnham’s government and Sadiq Khan Another former government minister has been hired by a controversial US AI company, this time Palantir, which has appointed Andy Burnham’s former ministerial colleague Tom Watson. The Labour peer and former deputy leader will operate alongside Palantir’s UK and Europe chief executive, Louis Mosley, as the company attempts to fend off pressure on Burnham’s government to axe its £330m NHS contract. It is also fighting Sadiq Khan in court over the Labour London mayor’s block on a £50m contract to use its AI in Metropolitan police investigations. Palantir also wants to win more public sector work in the UK, where it already has an annual turnover of £427m. Continue reading...

As cynical as I am re the British public I genuinely do not think there is a mass audience for a party for whom being Irish is still too ethnically edgy. That is simply not a large section of the modern British electorate. 20 years ago even it might have worked, but now it just ain't really a thing.

AGI is not here. On the last earnings call Jensen Huang was asked about this, he gave a mealy-mouthed response because he can't lie to them. If it was here he'd just say 'YES' to investors. Huang has personally defined AGI to mean, 'somewhat economically productive.' But cost is subsidised still?

Nathan Cofnas and the US Ambassador to Belgium say that the University of Ghent have now lifted his suspension, thanking the US government for supporting him (with threats of retaliation). The Ambassador says that Cofnas will be able to complete his one year appointment to March 2027.
I am grateful to Rector Petra De Sutter for allowing me to stay at Ghent University. I look forward to continuing to work on the project, “The Future of Liberalism,” for 60% of my working time for the remainder of my one-year postdoc.

I wish to personally thank Ambassador 
@BillWhiteUSA
. It was beyond my imagination that such a person would take an interest in the fate of a postdoc. The Ambassador responded with great support which helped to bring about a just outcome. Thank you, 
@USAmbToBelgium
 and 
@StateDept
 for defending American values. I am proud of my country.After speaking with all parties, I am pleased to see that Ghent University and Nathan Cofnas have amicably reached an agreement to lift Mr. Cofnas' suspension, which will enable him to complete his one-year postdoctoral appointment. I look forward to working with Ghent University rector Petra De Sutter to continue the relationship between the university and the United States. I am grateful for her willingness to listen to voices calling for protecting academic freedom.
