Someone kindly reached out to ask if I would consider speaking about Gaza Verified (gaza-verified.org/) at the Social Web Devroom being organised by the Social Web Foundation at FOSDEM.
My answer is no.
And I feel it’s important for those of us who care about such things to understand why:

Gaza Verified
We’ve personally had video conversations on Signal with the people from Gaza whose Mastodon accounts on the fediverse are listed here and we verify that their accounts are genuine. – Joy & Aral Balkan

Yesterday, I observed a friend trying to show me something he saw on facebook recently. Every single search he tried resulted in first switching from facebook to “Meta”—whatever that is—without him noticing for quite some interactions, the search field was still there. Sending a query always opened the Meta AI answering the assumed question (but he was actually sending a query as he was looking for an image). He got angry, I got amused. He found the image eventually, but what a wacky UI!

XGC-AVis: Towards Audio-Visual Content Understanding with a Multi-Agent Collaborative System
In this paper, we propose XGC-AVis, a multi-agent framework that enhances the audio-video temporal alignment capabilities of multimodal large models (MLLMs) and improves the efficiency of retrieving key video segments through 4 stages: perception, planning, execution, and reflection. We further introduce XGC-AVQuiz, the first benchmark aimed at comprehensively assessing MLLMs' understanding capabilities in both real-world and AI-generated scenarios. XGC-AVQuiz consists of 2,685 question-answer …

It always makes me a little sad when somebody reflexively spits and blocks like this based on (I’m guessing) not quite reading the post. (I’m pretty sure they’re angry because they agreed with the thread’s whole point and just read the post backwards in their haste. This does not look like an account that’s out there fighting to defend the reputation of Tesla and AI slop.)
Like…I probably didn’t want this person in my mentions anyway if they’re such a careless reader, but now they’re going through the world a little angrier for nothing.

> “because the account creation country was incorrect on a very small subset of old accounts, due to IP ranges changing over time.”
Being a thing I would have told them in the first 10 minutes of this being suggested. IPv4 ranges over a 20 year period are going to have been transferred.

It's kinda weird how the Linux Foundation has accepted to become the dumping ground for tech/infrastructure that fall out of some tech hype. First they picked up a lot of Blockchain stuff, now they do AI infra.

Claude Sonnet 3.7 describes the image as: "The image shows a scene from the British science fiction television series "Blake's 7." It depicts three crew members in a futuristic corridor setting aboard their spacecraft. They are wearing distinctive costume designs typical of the show's aesthetic, with structured uniforms featuring color blocking and geometric patterns in grays, whites, and accent colors. In the foreground, a crew member is holding what appears to be a transparent container or d…

Oh, if you think agents had a tough time in LA and Chicago.. just wait til NYC steps up. The sheer density means federal agents are going to find themselves regularly outnumbered by angry crowds.
