Big Tech unites to self-regulate AI . Four giants in artificial intelligence are joining forces to ensure "safe and responsible development of frontier AI models." Anthropic, Google, Open AI and Microsoft (LinkedIn's parent company) announced the formation of the Frontier Model Forum on Wednesday in response to anxieties about AI's power and potential. It will focus on three fronts: setting up best practices, conducting AI safety research, and establishing secure ways of sharing information between companies, governments and stakeholders.

Google shakes off advertising slump The tech behemoth notched $74.6 billion in second-quarter revenue, up 7% over last year, as the ad market bounces back from a post-pandemic slowdown. Executives cited a strong showing from Google's core search engine business and video platform YouTube. Revenue from Google's cloud business also came in slightly hotter than expected, growing 28% as Google looks to bundle cloud services with new tools powered by generative artificial intelligence. ...........

ChatGPT Is Replacing Humans in Studies on Human Behavior—and It Works Surprisingly Well . an LLM replicated human responses in numerous classical psychology experiments ........ Most online content is dominated by just a handful of languages. An LLM trained on these data could easily mimic the sentiment, perspective, or even moral judgment of people who use those languages—in turn inheriting bias from the training data. ......... faster ways to move data, using ultrafast laser pulses in free space and optical fiber. ....... With electrons, the maximum speed for transmitting data is a nanosecond, one-billionth of a second, which is very fast. But the optical switch we constructed was able to transmit data a million times faster, which took just a few hundred attoseconds........ the James Webb Space Telescope recently transmitted stunning images from far out in space. These pictures were transferred as data from the telescope to the base station on Earth at a rate of one “on” or “off” every 35 nanoseconds using optical communications. ...... someday computers themselves might run on light.

The scary thing about the speed at which AI is evolving is that it isn't yet mainly evolving itself. The current rate of progress is still driven mainly by improvements in hardware and in code written by human programmers.

X
Elon Musk's X experiment What's next for Twitter, or rather for X? Elon Musk has said it will be "the everything app": Twitter, YouTube, PayPal, TikTok and Amazon all rolled into one.......... Musk believes X can "easily" be a $1 trillion company, according to Isaacson — and he's been mulling some form of the idea for close to 25 years. ......... "Elon Musk has essentially wiped out 15 years of brand value from Twitter and is now essentially starting from scratch."
From Twitter to X: Elon Musk Begins Erasing an Iconic Internet Brand The tech billionaire started removing the bird logo that has been part of Twitter’s identity since 2006....... He has said he hopes to turn Twitter into an “everything app” called X, which would encompass not only social networking but also banking and shopping. .......... When brands become verbs, it’s the “holy grail,” said Mike Proulx, a vice president and research director at Forrester, because it means they have become part of popular culture. ............ Unlike the blue bird, which he described as warm and cuddly but perhaps a bit dated and weighed down by bad press, the new logo is “very harsh” ........... Mr. Musk has long been interested in the X name. In 1999, he helped found X.com, an online bank. The company changed its name after it merged with another start-up to form what would become PayPal. ........... In 2017, Mr. Musk said he had repurchased the X.com domain from PayPal. “No plans right now, but it has great sentimental value to me,” he tweeted at the time. ........ Tesla, Mr. Musk’s electric automaker, also has a sport utility vehicle called the Model X. One of Mr. Musk’s sons, X Æ A-12 Musk, is often called X for short. The holding companies created to close the acquisition of Twitter were named X Holdings. Mr. Musk also leads an artificial intelligence company called xAI.......... At one point, he changed the name of a crowdsourced fact-checking feature to “Community Notes” from “Birdwatch.” He recently also had someone cover the w in Twitter’s name at its San Francisco headquarters. .

it's definitely not "essential". but you can make an argument for reconsideration being the best path forward. the twitter brand carries a lot of baggage. but all that matters is the utility it provides, not the name.
