🧵 "#Possibility Architectures: Exploring Human #Communication with Generative #AI"

Today's SFI Seminar with ExFac Simon DeDeo @LaboratoryMinds (@CarnegieMellon), streaming now:
"A key feature of this is talk is that we make sense of what each other are saying IN PART by what they say, but ALSO by what we expect of them."
"Language transmits info against a background of expectations – syntactic, semantic, and this larger cultural spectrum. It's not just the choices of make but [how] we set ourselves up to make later choices."

Je viens de lire un testament qui m'a laissé bouche bée. Mon client, décédé il y a un mois, a révélé l'existence d'un trésor caché dans ses dernières volontés. #Notaire #Révélation #Heritiers
Il semblerait que les 3 enfants de mon client, qui ne se parlent plus depuis des années, ont reçu chacun un mois avant sa mort une lettre étrange et unique qui contient les indications pour découvrir ce trésor caché. #Mystère #Indices #Heritiers
Ces lettres ont été remises à chaque héritier par le défunt lui-même, et ils étaient perplexes et ne comprenaient pas leur signification immédiate. #Testament #Secret #Heritiers

Le 20ème Congrès 🇨🇳, saison 3. On a hésité à la dérouler celle-là. La matinée va être dense. Vous raconter ici les coulisses de la réunion quinquennale du PCC et la propagande qui l’entoure en plus de son travail pour les ondes de @RFI, c’est du sport. On vous dit pourquoi…🧵
Nous sommes dans l’un des deux hôtels de quarantaine pour journalistes invités au Congrès. Les bus ont aussi passé la nuit à l’isolement. Tweeter en Chine (réseau censuré ici) demande de la persévérance. Il a fallu rallumer 4 x le téléphone pour réveiller les VPN ce matin.
Parmi les conditions d’accès au Grand Palais du Peuple, des PCR buccaux marin & soir à l’hôtel. La difficulté sur ce genre de mission, ce sont les liaisons techniques. Les autorités autorisent à amener un seul téléphone (relié au pass sanitaire), pas de batterie extérieure.

Who is the outsourcing firm that employs 1000s of super low-paid TikTok+FB content moderators in Morocco?

Majorel, one of the largest customer services and call center operators in EMEA, 75k staff, is owned by Saham and the German media group Bertelsmann.
Bertelsmann, the largest European media group, also operates Arvato, which provides debt collection, credit scoring, loyalty programs, consumer data brokerage and 'business process outsourcing'.

Majorel was formed through the merger of Arvato CRM and African Saham group in 2019.
Bertelsmann's Arvato was already among the largest European call center operators before.

Apparently, Majorel and the US outsourcing firm Sitel 'agreed on the terms for a potential merger' in June 2022, creating a 'global leader in CX' (customer experience) with 240k staff.

آخر علیم خان کیوں عمران خان کے اتنا خلاف ہو گئے کہ آج اچانک ایسی ہریس کانفرینس کر ڈالی؟
کچھ ہی دیر میں یہاں اپنے ٹویٹر اکاونٹ پر انتہائی مستند زرائع سے لی ہوئی تفصیلات شیئر کرونگی۔

Stay tuned to find out the reasons behind Aleem Khan’s press conference ag IK
EXPLOSIVE SCANDAL starts with Park View City Islamabad where only 579 plots were approved for sale/LOP. The same was cancelled by IHC on CDA’s plea for LOP violation. #AleemKhan went on to sell 100x more w/o LOP, hence minting billions.

Continued…
#NoConfidenceMotion #Surprise Image
Highly placed sources in CDA confirm that this map depicts the initial plots. Illegal development work was carried out on more than 1500 kanals violating all rules.
Park View created commercial areas selling them to private developers for billions. Not taking NOCs. Continued… Image

کسی نے سچ کہا ہے کہ "سیاست کے سینے میں دل نہیں ہوتا"

ایم کیوایم کا پیپلزپارٹی کیساتھ معاہدہ پر اپوزیشن کی حمایت کا فیصلہ۔ تحریکِ عدم اعتماد کے ضمن میں اپوزیشن کا پلڑا بھاری ہوگیا۔

اور اگر متحدہ قومی موومنٹ اس کا اعلان کر دیتی ہے تو میرے خیال میں عمران خان صاحب کو باعزت طریقے سے استعفیٰ دے دینا چاہیے۔
کیونکہ جمہوریت میں سادہ اکثریت کھو دینے کے بعد قائد ایوان کے پاس سیاسی اور آئینی طور پر کچھ نہیں رہ جاتا۔

آنے والی حکومت عارضی ہو گی جو جلد انتخابات کا اعلان کرے گی۔ جس میں پاکستان تحریک انصاف سمیت تمام سیاسی جماعتیں دوبارہ میدان عمل میں ہوں گی۔

"Environment x everything interactions: From evolution to epidemics and beyond"

Today's SFI Colloquium by @big_data_kane (@Yale), streaming now:


🔍 Follow this thread for highlights... Image
"Part of what we're going to exploit is the multiple definitions behind something [as fundamental as] 'environment' ... in SOME ways, you don't care much about the thing you're looking at; you care about its EFFECT."

- @big_data_kane (@Yale) speaking now:

"The environment is an actor and a character in all of our stories. But too often we treat it as something to be regressed away. I joke: 'Find me a piece of DNA that behaves without interaction with its environment.'"

About a month back, I completed an online course called Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte (@fortelabs).

Going through the course and reflecting on its implications, I realised something.

As a student in #BASB12, I was getting a ringside view to something remarkable.
Something that folks a few decades from now will herald as a breakthrough in personal knowledge management and productivity.

Something that is essentially a revolutionary new software OS for the Knowledge Era.

Here’s why.
A revolution requires the right hardware and software

In the early 1700s, many folks in Britain were grappling with a peculiar problem. How to get water out of coal mines. Since the coal mines were underground, they tended to get frequently flooded.

Everyone’s trying to sell you something, or take something off you, or get you to do something.
Everyone’s out for themselves.
No one can be trusted.
People are greedy.
People are lazy.
It’s a dog-eat-dog world.

That’s how I sometimes feel.

But it’s far from the truth, isn’t it?

These are just the lies we’re being told – or it’s people behaving that way because of the lies they’ve been told.

#greed
Our media is our enemy – and much of our schooling too.
We’re victims of cognitive imperialism – and the invading empire has established its outposts in the hinterlands of our minds.

D'abord, petit fil sur la censure française du #DoH -- puisqu'il ne s'agit pas que de ça, mais surtout de ça pour l'instant, c'est en creux dans l'intervention ci-dessous.
Actuellement il existe une procédure nationale française de blocage administratif national par la police, sur liste totalement opaque gérée par celle-ci et l'Arjel (autorité des jeux en ligne).
l'Arjel bloque les sites de jeux en ligne hébergés à l'étranger (dont l'hébergeur/opérateur échappe donc à la loi fr) qui contreviennent à la loi française sur la question. La police bloque les sites promouvant le terrorisme. Tout ça, sans juge.

This week at SFI: "#Complexity and the Structure of #Music: Universal Features and Evolutionary Perspectives Across Cultures", an #interdisciplinary working group assembled to explore new frameworks for understanding music. Stay tuned for highlights!

santafe.edu/events/complex…
"Every pitch class set is connected to every other pitch class set."

– @mbnUNT, co-organizer of this week's #musicology working group, presents on how to understand the #topology of #harmonic structures in music with #network diagrams (e.g. Pic 4 with #JSBach's BWV 66):
Once you represent a musical composition as a network, it is possible to examine the evolutionary dynamics of its harmonic content over time, as explained by @mbnUNT in his opening talk for this week's SFI #musicology working group.

(Ironically, this #Beethoven is #scalefree:)

Today's talk is with neuroscientist #KarlFriston of @ucl, who will offer a heuristic proof suggesting that life is an inevitable emergent property of any weakly mixing random dynamical system that possesses a #Markov blanket.

Tune in here at 12:15 PM MT:
santafe.edu/events/me-and-…
...and because it's 2020 and nothing is ever simple, we are having technical issues with the stream. The talk is recorded and we will upload it across all of our platforms ASAP. Our apologies!
Spatial boundaries are statistical boundaries: #KarlFriston on #MarkovBlankets, the reciprocal interfacing between internal and external states.

Follow this thread for more highlights from the talk and stay tuned for the video link...

I'm finally ready to try & make the cake!!!
The hardest part so far was carrying the eggs. But I did good & didn't break them!!!

#DogsOfTwitter #Dogs
Ohmydogness!!!!
My cake batter is all ready to go in the pan.
This is where it's important to ask an adult human for help. It's always ok to ask for help when you need it.
I'm pretty excited. It's going to be an Apple Chai Spice Cake!

#DogsOfTwitter #Dogs #Baking
The batter is in a greased pan. I have my ovenmitt on & a grownup human ready to help me put it in the preheated oven.
This has been so much fun!!!
Thanks for all your encouragement...
and remember... It's a #surprise. This is just between us.

Bon. Je suis restée plutôt discrète concernant mon opinion personnelle dans cette crise. À part pour dire que les pioupious d’amour renfort du SAMU 31 sont formidables.
Mais ça, c’est pas une opinion, c’est un fait. #EvidenceBasedLoveUSoMuch
Y a tout un tas de choses que j’ai jusque ici plus ou moins gardé pour moi ou pour mes proches (désolée @__oG___, @inge_cata, @IdiosyncrasiK, @Nessajel, et @OliviaMooreTwee de vous avoir saoulé).
Néanmoins ce soir j’ai suivi ce bingo, et par conséquent je suis ivre.
Alors jusqu’à ce que je tombe de sommeil je vais m’épancher.
Je vous conseille vivement de mute ou d’unfollow.
On est sur Twitter alors tout ce que je dirai pourra être retenu contre moi et sachez le, au vu de l’enfer qui m’attend au boulot, je m’en carre.

L'équipe de campagne de @realDonaldTrump a publié un agenda qui liste les priorités d'un éventuel deuxième mandat.
Examinons les 49 points listés avec un oeil européen.
(petit thread)
Vous pouvez le lire ici :
donaldjtrump.com/media/trump-ca…
▶️ L'emploi La priorité est clairement affichée : continuer la politique protectionniste mise en place. Taxer les produits étrangers, offrir des crédits d'impôts aux produits made in USA. Comment l' #UE va-t-elle réagir ? Changera-t-elle son approche de négociations ?
Notons aussi que pour "diminuer la dépendance envers la Chine", #Trump prévoit de ne pas accorder de contrat fédéral "aux entreprises qui externalisent en #Chine". Des entreprises européennes peuvent être concernées. L' #UE adaptera-t-elle ses règles sur les marchés publics ?

1/7 Intense lobbying of @ONC_HealthIT information blocking API rules is not about patients. It’s about money. #Surprise Patient records are very valuable for analytics, machine learning, AI, insurance methods, narrow networks, quality measures, value-based payments...
@ONC_HealthIT 2/7 The lobbies are desperate to keep (@EHRAssociation
) or get (@carinalliance
) access to the records in transit. If patients and doctors can bypass either of them when using the API then surveillance capitalists will need explicit consent to access patient data.
@ONC_HealthIT @EHRAssociation @carinalliance 3/7 Consider what would happen if the 21C Cures mandated API worked like US Mail, or Fax, or secure email. (1) Patients, not data brokers, would decide who has access to the API. (2) Patients, not data brokers, would judge the privacy practices. Real competition not paternalism.

This is your daily pension announcement: Our Supreme Leader is and always will be JK edition!! Supreme Leader of the DPRA (Democratic People's Republic of Alberta). State motto: "if yer not fer us yer angst us" Just when you thought things couldn't get worse... #theydid #AbLeg
As you are aware, our Supreme Leader was on Facebook Live answering some questions last night. Low and behold our ATRF pension plan came up.

Another round of gaslighting.
#Gaslighting #travistime
His comments were along the lines of "we were just doing our fiduciary duty" in ordering ATRF to exclusively use AIMCo as an investment manager. To be clear it is the ATRF Board that has a fiduciary duty here not the GOA. Can I get another material misstatement up in here?

This is outrageous ‼ The #UK is #blocking a Spanish Judge from getting testimony from #Assange - re: the US SPYING on him while at Embassy- to #protect the #US #extradition case from being #thrown out of Court

ILLEGAL
UNCONSCIONABLE
DISGRACEFUL @cpsuk

1/ "The British justice system is blocking a Spanish judge’s request to question Julian Assange in London as a witness in a case exploring allegations that the Spanish security firm Undercover Global S.L. spied on the WikiLeaks founder while he was living in d Ecuadorian embassy"
2/ "The British position, unprecedented in these types of requests for judicial collaboration, is being viewed by Spanish judicial bodies as a show of resistance against the consequences that the case could have on the process to extradite the Australian cyberactivist to the US."

George Nader is a now a guest of the federal government. It is the summer of our discontent and Mueller's carefully planted seeds of destruction are beginning to bear fruit. Is now the right time to put Erik Prince's photo on a milk carton? nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
No here has to some challenge to this. Like a Fed Pool. And a reward. Remember all those guys who were "not concerned about any federal charges" and were "cooperating fully" Like Nader? The only guy who was convinced he was going to get indicted was Roger Stone. #Surprise
You may ask why one of George Nader's lawyers was Obama's council and why the other was an international money laundering expert. But you already know the answer.
