Europe 2031 — What getting AI wrong means for us

Ah, the usual suspects are at it again. First, they claimed companies evaluate performance by lines of code; now, it's by AI tokens consumed. Predictably, they never name these mystical companies. Until someone provides actual proof, I'm chalking this up to pure fabrication for engagement. Do better.

Discovering Functionally Selective Brain Regions with a Deep Topographic Multimodal Model
Nearby neurons in cortex share similar response profiles, producing systematic spatial organization across sensory and cognitive systems. Recent topographic models reproduce aspects of this structure but remain unimodal and spatially constrain each layer separately, yielding fragmented maps that capture neither the contiguity of cortical processing streams nor their integration across modalities. We introduce Topo-Omni, a topographic multimodal model in which visual, auditory, and language/cogn…

UN report warns AI could soon use 3% of world's electricity and more water than we need to drink
One argument often used to quell concerns about the rising energy and resource demand of data centers is that artificial intelligence (AI) models will need less in the future as they improve and become more efficient.

Silicon Valley Bets $200 Million On AI Data Centers Floating In the Ocean and „hopes to eventually deploy thousands of the nodes.“ Wonder where they hope to get the GPUs from.

Google, AI, Oligarchy and the End of the ‘Open Web’
I wanted to share a small observation about the interweaving worlds of...

But I would warn anyone circumventing anti-LLM protections that, as the tide turns against #LLM usage and "#AI" as a whole, that it may become politically useful for some state AGs to score political points. Those political points may come by putting you in prison, or, at the very least, dumping lawyers on you and ruining your life. An AG doesn't need to win to score points for their political party or to virtue signal. All they need to do is build a case against you. Because the CFAA is *so vague* it's easy to make something plausible enough that it won't get thrown out immediately.
So if the gentile "please don't do that" isn't enough, maybe consider this.

Damn, #AI for reverse-engineering is impressive; drop a chunk of Ghidra's grim attempt at generating C into it (local Gemma4) and it comes out with something much more readable and points out structure etc.

I can't possibly make this better that it already is
