Being a marketer shaped my progressive politics more than I expected precisely because of this.
Once you see how much effort is being spent on marketing certain worldviews to you and how much of that can be studied, analyzed, and replicated - you can’t unsee it.
And you see the power that’s available for all of us to tap into to push back. The same kinds of marketing and communication tactics used against us can be used to amplify science, art, pro-social values, and progressive policy.
The right has been waging a coordinated campaign of swaying public opinion since at least the birth of the Federalist Society and backlash to Roe.
Their legal influence required creating an information and media apparatus that influenced first elite professional networks, then the public at large.
(For a recent example, just look at how much LLMS and AI have been relying on constant marketing and media attention for anyone to believe that these tools are “inevitable” or even “useful”. Their marketing and PR departments work very hard and are very well funded. For a reason.)

SplatBus: A Gaussian Splatting Viewer Framework via GPU Interprocess Communication
Yinghan Xu, Th\'eo Morales, John Dingliana
https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.15431 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.15431 https://arxiv.org/html/2601.15431
arXiv:2601.15431v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Radiance field-based rendering methods have attracted significant interest from the computer vision and computer graphics communities. They enable high-fidelity rendering with complex real-world lighting effects, but at the cost of high rendering time. 3D Gaussian Splatting solves this issue with a rasterisation-based approach for real-time rendering, enabling applications such as autonomous driving, robotics, virtual reality, and extended reality. However, current 3DGS implementations are difficult to integrate into traditional mesh-based rendering pipelines, which is a common use case for interactive applications and artistic exploration. To address this limitation, this software solution uses Nvidia's interprocess communication (IPC) APIs to easily integrate into implementations and allow the results to be viewed in external clients such as Unity, Blender, Unreal Engine, and OpenGL viewers. The code is available at https://github.com/RockyXu66/splatbus.

Scaling Vision Transformers: Evaluating DeepSpeed for Image-Centric Workloads
Huy Trinh, Rebecca Ma, Zeqi Yu, Tahsin Reza
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.21081 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.21081 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.21081
arXiv:2602.21081v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Vision Transformers (ViTs) have demonstrated remarkable potential in image processing tasks by utilizing self-attention mechanisms to capture global relationships within data. However, their scalability is hindered by significant computational and memory demands, especially for large-scale models with many parameters. This study aims to leverage DeepSpeed, a highly efficient distributed training framework that is commonly used for language models, to enhance the scalability and performance of ViTs. We evaluate intra- and inter-node training efficiency across multiple GPU configurations on various datasets like CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100, exploring the impact of distributed data parallelism on training speed, communication overhead, and overall scalability (strong and weak scaling). By systematically varying software parameters, such as batch size and gradient accumulation, we identify key factors influencing performance of distributed training. The experiments in this study provide a foundational basis for applying DeepSpeed to image-related tasks. Future work will extend these investigations to deepen our understanding of DeepSpeed's limitations and explore strategies for optimizing distributed training pipelines for Vision Transformers.

The idea behind this comes from the intro to Ostrom's Governing the Commons. She points out that the Tragedy of the Commons happens when actors can be modeled as prisoners with no coordination. By increasing communication, we can create opportunities to shift away from the tragedy. Today, the climate crisis is very much a grand Tragedy of the Commons problem. A solution would be to build a (bottom up) coordinated carbon budget, and a community like described could be a low effort first step towards that.
