Fair point. My counterargument is To not attribute a mob the highest level of wisdom. Otherwise, I'd be called "the wisdom of the mob" 😅, no? bsky.app/profile/drsm...

I also thought "calm... Before a storm? Figurative or meteorologically speaking" 😂 U glad I'm not there with a handful of 🍺/🍷 in 🩸. A poor PhD bro of mine got slightly ashamed when I started quack/honk in Portsmouth near by a D-day museum 🙈😅

Sure, and hence the need for austerity. ⁉️ Are French ppl pretending that the ECB 🇪🇺 plays another "whatever it takes"? As an 🇮🇹 resident, I'm f@ck not! Is there any political party in 🇫🇷 that doesn't wanna gamble with future generations?

1. Aren't pensions among the biggest pie of a budget in many countries? 1.1. Iinw it's also the case in 🇨🇴, it's often aggregated as 'mandatory expenses commitment' (+ health + edu + infrastructure) which makes >80% of our budget 😅. 2. Understand the bit of pensioners. Also the case in 🇮🇹 & 🇪🇸 afaiu.

What are PIGS' 🇪🇺 representatives saying in Brussels? Why doesn't 🇫🇷🇩🇪 apply austerity measures? Too big bully & too big to fail?

Yet, most Colombians does find pleasant to call ourselves Colombian. Our patriotism isn't rooted in military display (🤞🏼 not yet 🙏🏼 not soon), but rather on cultural symbols. Took me a bit to digest such difference wrt Italians 🇮🇹. Benito plays a role, but it's actually much deeper.

I could literally replace Twitter with Colombian. Does it work for u? 🇨🇴 A democratic country more peaceful than other fellow international states.

Wisdom of the crowd? Prediction market? 📽️ Explained simply in the context of Polymarket & Kashi. Listen/read carefully. It’s in 🇮🇹 Lang, but hopefully ASR & autotranslate are enough. youtu.be/fp39G2kCeYA

Is it a good idea to run (experiment) predictions markets as part of the peer review process? Aren’t we already doing it informally, double faux, double blind yet arxiv + social media showboating, no? Wisdom of the crowd 💪🏼 OR overloading: SAC, AC, Rs, Authors, Rebuttal 😫 as AI disrupts science 😱

😂 the reaction to this in X/Twitter is quite emotional Before you take the cross ✝️ for me, think about those time when it’s easier to 1. be a troll with a keyboard, or 2.cry about peer review burden than to think outside the box 📦 🧠 bsky.app/profile/esco...

I trust you are. Before LLMs, discovering Scientists' writing skills was fun. Wouldn't it be nice that AI acts as both: assistant & coach? For example, in your writing analogy it would do both: - Be a ghostwriter/editor. - Be your publisher. Would that help with human-AI alignment? Dunno just TOL

Anti capital? Data is a commodity. Process it & you get info & Knowledge which are assets. Thus, value can be derived out of data>info/knowledge with other forms of capital (human, financial, etc.)

Tropicalization example 001. You gotta bring bots similar to @antrophic-claude here (made by who?) for top-k influencers & main biz that crosspost whatever they tweet. People aren't gonna join an echo chamber or an empty room bcs of ideals. We are under/on develop-ed/ment economies. Be pragmatic!

I'm from 🇨🇴. I can tell u we don't gimme a damn about Elon yet, at least not the street citizen unemployed selling stuff on the street. We do use social media a lot! Thus, Elon & Mark are as powerful as old private media 📺📰 of ours.

Yes but... I understand why banning sounds enticing but you can't preach 'global' & democracy yet trade with autocratic regimes (that called themselves democracies). It's a tough convo for having with char limit. Happy to have it by VC over ☕️🍻. cc @ekazakos.bsky.social for the latter

Power concentration & people locating at lower levels of the hierarchy question WTF people on the top are doing. Put together >6* ppl and human politics entropy emerges. You know, managers, ..., CEO/president. Back then slaves, citizen, ..., king/emperor. bsky.app/profile/esco...

United States is a federal state while 🇪🇺 is a supranational organization. Huge difference from international law & economical pov, which I won't explain as AI might do better. No diff between Washington & Brussels. Both suffering what erodes big political institutions.

We had, no? It's called SWIFT 🇧🇪. Now, Europe + 🇬🇧 + 🇺🇸 + ... used it to punish 🇷🇺 😉. Good luck asking China, ..., any non-democratic state to join your new tech payment protocol. That's precisely what I meant to be pragmatic. share.google/aimode/CVSOX...

That's what I meant. I bet that I could find many instances of hierarchical matching between manifolds/surfaces/shapes/etc in science 🙄. One can be excited w/o overclaiming. x.com/3scorciav/st...

Have to say/rant-about it. You: Why so bitter❓ I'm not. I've not Schmidhubered anyone yet. I dislike the hype that impacts underrepresented & unheard voices. Actually, Ppl despairing as AI disrupted science 😭, the science elite broke it earlier (read history: Galileo, Newton, etc.) 🤓. Heil AI!

A glimpse into #computervision history. The inaugural #ECCV1990 was held over 4 days in Antibes, France. • ~40 attendees • 63 accepted papers • 60 oral presentations • 20 posters • 13 sessions Fast forward 36 years. How times have changed!

An illustration of spin. In meaningful relationships at work 1+1=3. Not to be generalized tough (1+1+1 != 1+2). Adding a third wheel at the human level make things complex/chaotic. Anyone with a kid can tell you 😊. www.principles.com/principles/a...

N: Level 1: 1? It can serve as null/inf or the homogeneous case. Deserve careful consideration (eg, bipolar disorder). 2: 2 + spin. Spin means that top-down edge flips. 3: ? ...

Victor Escorcia @escorciav.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Lol framing relationships in a top-down manner is quite a thing, look at history. Eventually, those at the bottom challenge it (revolution, conspiration, ...). Wonder from a sociological & math/algo pov if someone has derived the optimal level of a hierarchical tree for N humans.

Michael has always been centered. Remember reading his Reddit AMA or participation back when we called it deep learning. If sensationalist knew what his research is about, they'd treat him as the godfather of AI Agents (in the abstract sense).

How does the future looks alike for Europe in 5-10 years? Back to tech brands? Renaissance of industrial & manufacturing brands? Biggest obstacle imho is EU itself 🇪🇺 (as in Brussels), a costly fabricated bubble (lawyers/lobby, politicians, etc) disconnected from the reality of the territory.

Victor Escorcia @escorciav.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Why global? I'd relax it to strategically global. Better delivering smth that works flawlessly & full coverage within 🇪🇺 then expand based on trade volume to other regions. Sorry for being pedantic.

Funny to find that today 😂 My kid mimics the sounds she hears. While changing her this morning, I told my wife, "Today, we have a stochastic parrot." 👶: "palot" Me: "Not random! It's stochastic." 🤓 Wife: 🙄 Wife's mind: whatever, both of you are random to me.

For the same reason ppl working in industry write on their social media profiles &/Or personal sites > tar -xf "Opinions are my own" Dear human, quote me. But, linking my employer w/o my permission is irrational. It's for all humans; don't take it personal dear sensational journalist/activist.
