This is an extra weird thing to say given that Microsoft is about the most remote-work-friendly company around.

Wall Street Journal

Eric Schmidt says he “misspoke” when he said Google was losing the AI race because the company decided that “working from home was more important than winning”

Ex-Google CEO had said the tech company's work-life balance was ‘more important than winning’

Open weights is great, but isn't open source and shouldn't be called that.  The “source” for a model would be the training code plus the training data.

Mark Zuckerberg argues that “open source AI” is the path forward, closed models are vulnerable to vendor lock-in and state-backed espionage, and more

Meta debuts Llama 3.1 405B, the “first frontier-level open source AI model”, as well as new Llama 3.1 70B and 8B models, and says it's working on Llama 4

Interesting thread. I agree that one of the challenges we face is distinguishing actual intelligence from learned knowledge and “skills”. I think one of the more intelligent things I've observed in LLMs is in-context learning, where arguably the learned skill *is* learning. https://twitter.com/...

AI Snake Oil

OpenAI may have tested GPT-4 on its training data, violating the cardinal rule of ML, and GPT-4's exam performance says little about its real-world usefulness

OpenAI may have tested on the training data.  Besides, human benchmarks are meaningless for bots.

@slightlylate Yikes. That is some nonsense right there. I guess it would almost make sense (but be all the more telling) if what they meant was “if we had to play by the rules we enforce on other apps, Safari would be slower and use more battery”?

Apple dismisses the findings of UK CMA's interim report on mobile ecosystems as based on “unsubstantiated allegations and hypothetical concerns” from its rivals

@Carnage4Life It's interesting to see Apple revealing so plainly that only 3% is needed to cover the cost of operating the system including payment processing and their IAP infra. The rest of the Apple tax/toll is apparently pure profit.

Apple plans to charge dating app developers using alternative payment systems a 27% commission in The Netherlands, instead of its usual 30% for in-app purchases

by far — is how disingenuous they are. Time and time again I'm made to wonder which of their core principles are important, and which are just PR. And how fluid the distinction is....

I don't know if they should be required to change it, but I understand concerns with this functionality. However, it seems crazy to me that AP published an entire article without explaining what the system does to prevent drivers from abusing it. https://apnews.com/...

[Thread] The response to Biden from Facebook's VP of Integrity is a textbook example of bluster and obfuscation

About Facebook

Facebook says their data shows a 50% decline in vaccine hesitancy among US users, refuting Biden's claim that it's “killing people” by allowing COVID-19 misinfo

At a time when COVID-19 cases are rising in America, the Biden administration has chosen to blame a handful of American social media companies.
