"AI is a tool (sorry!) that people who are bad at their jobs will use badly and that people who are good at their jobs will maybe, possibly find some uses for. People who are terrible at their jobs (many executives), will tell their employees that they “need” to use AI, that their jobs depend on it, that they must become more productive, and that becoming an AI-first company is the strategy that will save them from the old failed strategy, which itself was the new strategy after other f…

The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work
AI is not going to save media companies, and forcing journalists to use AI is not a business model.

Ecuador: Stop land grabbing and racial discrimination for palm oil! https://www.rainforest-rescue.org/petitions/1270/ecuador-stop-land-grabbing-and-racial-discrimination-for-palm-oil

#petition Ecuador: Stop land grabbing and racial discrimination for palm oil!
Communities in northern Ecuador are fighting back against land grabbing and deforestation by the palm oil industry. Yet instead of ensuring law and order, the Ecuadorian authorities are siding with the companies – the courts are working to break the resistance of the people by ordering them to pay damages for their protests.

Now that the speech and petition parts of the 1st amendment have been erased (just like the first part of the second amendment and much of the privileges and immunities part of the 14th amendment) one has to wonder when the religion parts of the 1st amendment will be transformed into an obligatory Church of the USA that we will all be required to join (except for a sufficient number of Jews that will be needed to bring on the apocalypse and final days the evangelicals all want to happen so t…

Indeed, Ed Davey, our democracy IS too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. Which does rather make me wonder why you are supporting these tech barons through your choice of where you are posting your comments 🤦‍♀️

The kirk of messianic (or is it manic?) charlatanism seems to have a lot of support in the UK as well.

Multi-head committees enable direct uncertainty prediction for atomistic foundation models
Machine learning potentials have become a standard tool for atomistic materials modelling. While models continue to become more generalisable, an open challenge relates to efficient uncertainty predictions for active learning and robust error analysis. In this work, we utilise MACE and its multi-head mechanism to implement a committee neural network potential for message-passing architectures, where the committee comprises multiple output modules attached to the same atomic environment descript…

The American goal of spreading democracy around the globe has lost its lustre and hasn't been very successful lately. American-style right-wing extremism on the other hand ...

Ah our poor widdle scared congress critters. Poor poor babies who work in 24x7x365 heavily guarded buildings with airport-grade (and beyond) access controls, have clouds of protective officers nearby, whose absence would be noted by staff and press, etc.
Yet, we normies who are being directly threatened by the President on down with arrest by mask agents, arrest, deportation to a death camp in another country, even death in the US are supposed to be accepting of these threats and risks…
