Nice to see successes in deep learning moving beyond transformers. This one is more accurate and scales much better without ridiculous memory requirements.

Steven Pinker shares his “relentless optimism” about human progress https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/09/steven-pinker-shares-his-relentless-optimism-about-human-progress Fri, 29 Sep 2023 15:31:11 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/09/steven-pinker-shares-his-relentless-optimism-about-human-progress

Brilliant. News is about rare events, especially bad things. Massive amounts of raw data is boring — but tells a completely different story.


If you follow the news closely, chances are your view of the state of the world is not super optimistic. From war in Ukraine to a warming planet to global poverty and hunger, there’s plenty to get upset about. But what if things are actually getting…better?

Sign up for GZERO Daily (free newsletter on global politics): https://rebrand.ly/gzeronewsletter.

“If you compare the number of wars and the number of people killed in wars in the sixties and the seventies and even the eighties, we’re actually much better off today,” Pinker argues. However, “if you look at headlines, since as long as bad things haven’t vanished from the face of the earth, which they never will, you can get the impression that things are unchanged or even are worse than ever, even when they’re improving.”

How does Pinker evaluate human progress? With data: “It’s only when you count the number of wars, number of deaths in war, longevity, child mortality, extreme poverty, number of leisure hours, that you see that there actually has been improvement. ”

The Problem with Elon Musk https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/09/the-problem-with-elon-musk Sat, 23 Sep 2023 21:26:55 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/09/the-problem-with-elon-musk

The new biography of Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson just came out on September 12. How has Musk already accomplished so much? Why does his success bother so many people? And what the heck is his fascination with the letter X?

Love him or hate him, Elon Musk seems to be everywhere with a hand in everything. He’s the richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of between $226 Billion and $249 Billion depending on who does the estimating. And between Twitter, now X, SpaceX, Tesla, The Boring Company, OpenAI, X.Ai., and PayPal, he’s probably been involved in something that currently touches your life or will in the near future, especially if he gets his way.

Buy the Book.

Sci-Fi Short Film “Augmented” | DUST | Flashback Friday https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/09/sci-fi-short-film-augmented-dust-flashback-friday Fri, 22 Sep 2023 21:28:35 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/09/sci-fi-short-film-augmented-dust-flashback-friday

Fascinating… when can we expect this to be invented?


A short film set in the near future, where augmented reality has become so ubiquitous that the line between the real and virtual worlds have become blurred. When a new, dangerous technology is created that can manipulate the perception of this brave new world, who will exploit it? Who will monetize it? Who will become twisted by it?

“Augmented” by Ross Peacock.

More About “Augmented”:
Augmented is directed by Ross Peacock and produced by Ben Mortimer of Black Arrow Pictures, and executive produced by Tim Clayton of Sweet Potato Productions. Starring Sabine Crossen, Brett Fancy and Camilla Roholm.
