The White House is coming out in favor of “open-source” artificial intelligence (AI) technology, arguing in a report that there's no need right now for restrictions on companies making key components of their powerful AI systems widely available. “We recognize the importance of open systems,” said Alan Davidson, an assistant secretary of the U.S. Commerce Department, in an interview with The Associated Press. As part of a sweeping executive order on AI last year, President Joe Biden gave the U.S. Commerce Department until July to talk to experts and come back with recommendations on how to manage the potential benefits and risks of so-called open models. The report is the U.S. government's first to delve into a tech industry debate between developers such as ChatGPT-maker OpenAI who advocates closing off their models' inner workings to guard against misuse, and others, such as Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who has lobbied for a more open approach they say favors innovation. “A year ago, there was a strong narrative about risk and long-term concerns about AI systems being too powerful,” said Davidson, administrator of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). “We continue to have concerns about AI safety, but this report reflects a more balanced view that shows that there are real benefits in the openness of these technologies.” The NTIA's report says “current evidence is not sufficient” to warrant restrictions on AI models with “widely available weights.” Weights are numerical values that influence how an AI model performs. But it also says U.S. officials must continue to monitor potential dangers and “take steps to ensure that the government is prepared to act if heightened risks emerge.” Though set in motion last fall, the report comes at a time when AI policies are now a subject of U.S. election politics in the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance, has previously voiced strong support for open-source AI, warning that CEOs of big technology companies are pushing for regulations that could entrench their incumbent positions.

This Day in Legal History: Watergate Figures SentencedToday in legal history, February 21 marks a significant moment in the annals of American jurisprudence and the power of the presidency. On this day in 1975, three key figures from President Richard Nixon's administration were handed prison sentences for their roles in the Watergate scandal, an event that would forever alter the landscape of political accountability and legal oversight in the United States. Former US Attorney General John Mitchell, Nixon's Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman, and domestic adviser John Ehrlichman were convicted of obstructing justice, each receiving sentences ranging from 2 1/2 to 8 years. This landmark decision underscored the principle that no one, regardless of their position in government, is above the law. The sentencing followed a scandal that began with the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex and spiraled into a cover-up that led to President Nixon's resignation—the only resignation of a U.S. President to date. The trial and subsequent convictions of Mitchell, Haldeman, and Ehrlichman were pivotal in bringing to light the extent of the Nixon administration's attempts to undermine the democratic process. The fallout from the Watergate affair led to sweeping reforms designed to increase transparency and reduce the potential for abuse of power within the federal government. This included the enactment of the Ethics in Government Act, the establishment of the Office of Government Ethics, and significant amendments to the Freedom of Information Act. The events of February 21, 1975, serve as a stark reminder of the fragility of democratic institutions and the perpetual need for vigilance, oversight, and accountability in preserving the integrity of governance.The Biden administration is actively soliciting feedback on the potential risks and benefits associated with "open-weight" artificial intelligence (AI) models, which are crucial for AI systems and have significant implications for national security. These open-weight models, by making AI more customizable and accessible, can foster innovation among a wider range of users, including small businesses and researchers, but also pose risks by potentially circumventing built-in safeguards. This initiative, part of a broader effort outlined in the administration's 2023 executive order on AI, aims to gather insights on the implications of public access to model weights, national security concerns, and the appropriate level of government involvement in regulating these technologies. Alan Davidson of the Commerce Department emphasized the dual nature of open-weight AI models: while they promise to democratize innovation and foster competition, they also introduce substantial safety and security challenges. The administration is also seeking to coordinate with international partners to develop guidelines for managing the dissemination and regulation of these models globally. Feedback is invited over a 30-day comment period.By way of very brief background, an open-weight AI model refers to an artificial intelligence system whose internal parameters, or "weights," are openly accessible and modifiable by users or developers. Unlike proprietary models, where the weights are closely guarded secrets, open-weight models are transparent, allowing for greater scrutiny, understanding, and customization. This openness fosters collaboration and innovation, as researchers and practitioners can build upon existing work, adapt the models to new tasks, or improve their performance and fairness. By sharing the detailed workings of these models, the AI community aims to accelerate progress, ensure broader access to cutting-edge technology, and facilitate the ethical use of AI by making it more interpretable and accountable.Of course with openness comes the potential for any safeguards or guardrails to be circumvented, thus the comment period seeking guidance on the extent to which regulatory action is necessary. White House Seeks Comments on the Risks of Open-Weight AI ModelsElon Musk has received guidance for relocating Tesla Inc.'s incorporation from Delaware to Texas, following a Delaware Court of Chancery decision that TripAdvisor Inc. can move its incorporation to Nevada. This guidance comes from Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster, who outlined the procedures required for such a move, drawing significant attention to the potential for corporate relocations to states with laws more favorable to officers and directors. The TripAdvisor case, challenged by investors for allegedly favoring directors at shareholders' expense, has highlighted the broader implications of corporate moves on shareholder rights and litigation risks.Delaware's status as a prime venue for corporate litigation, home to nearly 70% of Fortune 500 companies, is under scrutiny as corporations like Tesla consider relocation to states offering greater litigation protections. The recent court ruling against Musk's $56 billion Tesla pay package has fueled his criticism of Delaware courts and his consideration of Texas for Tesla's incorporation, aligning with his moves for SpaceX and Neuralink.Vice Chancellor Laster allowed the investor litigation against TripAdvisor's planned move to proceed, noting that Nevada's shareholder litigation protections are perceived to be weaker than Delaware's. This decision has sparked debate among legal experts about the comparative shareholder protections across states and the potential self-interest involved in such corporate relocations.The ruling sets a precedent that companies looking to relocate must ensure the process involves a disinterested special committee and shareholder vote, addressing concerns over conflicts of interest and self-dealing. However, Musk's ambition to relocate Tesla faces challenges, including his influence over board decisions and potential pressures on board members, illustrating the complexities of corporate governance and the balance between innovation and shareholder rights.This situation underscores the evolving landscape of corporate law, the strategic considerations of incorporation locations, and the ongoing debate over the best interests of shareholders versus the autonomy of corporate directors and officers.Musk Gets Guidelines for Moving Tesla With TripAdvisor OpinionThe Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, has initiated a lawsuit against Annunciation House, a Catholic nonprofit organization aiding migrants, on allegations of "alien harboring, human smuggling, and operating a stash house." This legal action aims to revoke the organization's operating license in Texas, accusing it of contributing to border chaos and illegal immigration with the support of federal funds from the Biden Administration. Paxton's lawsuit, filed in El Paso County District Court, asserts that Annunciation House knowingly sheltered around 300 migrants at a time to evade U.S. Customs and Border Protection, involving transportation and placement in secretive locations.Annunciation House has countered, arguing that Paxton's lawsuit stemmed from a denied immediate access to its records, deeming the legal challenge as a baseless attempt to shut down the nonprofit under pretexts that it decries as illegal, immoral, and anti-faith. In response, Dylan Corbett, executive director of the Hope Border Institute, expressed solidarity with Annunciation House, condemning the Texas Attorney General's actions as efforts to intimidate and criminalize humanitarian aid, conflicting with Christian teachings on neighborly love.The lawsuit highlights ongoing tensions between state and federal approaches to immigration, with Texas taking aggressive steps, such as constructing a military base camp near the Eagle Pass on the U.S.-Mexico border, to curb illegal crossings. This case reflects broader debates over immigration policy, humanitarian aid, and the roles of NGOs at the border, underscored by contrasting perspectives on how to address the complexities of migration and border security.Texas sues immigration nonprofit, claiming it engaged in smuggling | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Bizim "Yedikule marulu"nun yurt dışında "Romalr" olarak tanındığı, Amerika'da ise Türkçe adıyla bulunduğunu biliyor musunuz? Peki marulu közleyerek yemeyi denediniz mi? Aylin Öney Tan'la #acıtatlımayhoş - Marul deyince aklımıza ister istemez Yedikule marulu geliyor. Şimdilerde minyatür maket gibi ufakları var. Hatta bunlara marul bile denmiyor, sadece “Yedikule” adıyla anılıyor. Şefler bunları genelde süs gibi kullanıyor, bazen de boyuna ikiye kesip ızgara yapıyorlar. Marulu ızgara yapmak Akdeniz'de çok görülüyor, eski Roma zamanlarından beri sebze gibi közlendiği çok bilinen bir kullanım şekli. Pandemi döneminde beni Amerika'dan True Food TV aradı. Yedikule'nin tarihini araştırıyorlarmış ve benim Yedikule marulu üzerine bir yazımı okumuşlar. Nicole Jolly ile bir program yaptık. Atalık tohumları toplayan Baker Creek Seeds adlı bahçecilik ağında Yedikule adı altında bizim marul da bulunuyormuş. Yedikule yurtdışında “Cos lettuce” veya “Romaine lettuce” olarak biliniyor. Romaine adı Roma'ya atfen, Cos ise genellikle bizde İstanköy adıyla da bilenen Kos adasına atfen diye bilinse bile Alan Davidson'a göre Arapça marul adına göre “Khas” kelimesinden geliyor. Amerika'da Türkçe adıyla bulunması bile bizim için şans.

In this week's episode we talk to Tony Dell, veteran of the Vietnam War, Australian Test cricketer and one time resident of Cardiff and pupil at the Hawardian School for Boys.Tony was born in Hampshire but moved to Wales in 1956 when his father was seconded to the Hoover Company based in Cardiff. He attended the Hawardian school where he had his first sporting experiences.The Hoover Company again called on the Dell family to move to Australia. On arrival here, Tony's sporting career really took off with him playing rugby and cricket. In the early 1960s he played club cricket and then Sheffield Shield. He remembers vividly being given bowling advice in these early years by Alan Davidson.Just as his cricket career was beginning to take off the Australian government called on Tony to join up and go to Vietnam. He was called up via a lottery system, trained and then sent to Vietnam.Tony talks about his return from Vietnam, his successes on the cricket field and his eventual call up for Australia against England in the Ashes Series of 1971. He remembers some of the players he played with and against including Alan Knott, Basil D'Olivera, Ian and Greg Chappel, Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thompson. Tony gives us his view of both these fantastic fast bowlers.We talk about the decline that took place in Tony's life and his discovery of the fact that he had been suffering from undiagnosed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for many years. He lost his house, business and ended up living in his mother's garage. Even in the darkest of times he found that cricket helped him get through as he coached his son. He talks about meeting other veterans who helped him to get back on his feet and his decision to launch charity dedicated to spreading awareness of Post Traumatic Stress in the armed forces and first responders.The charity he formed is called Stand Tall for PTS and can be found here:http://www.standtall4pts.org/The song that is played at the end of the episode was written by Tony and the video accompanying it can be seen on YouTube here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xah52LzLMDgFor anyone interested in learning more about Post Traumatic Stress and those who campaign around the issue in the UK you could try checking out Combat Stress here:https://combatstress.org.uk/The Once Upon a Time in the Ashes Podcast is a marvellous celebration of Test cricket and its episodes can be found here:https://onceuponatimeintheashes.com/Many thanks to those at the Roath Local History Group who published the article about Tony that drew our attention to his story.

Did you know that only 3% of the world's population is dancing around ‘enlightenment' as a way of being?That's according to Alan Davidson, the best selling author of the multi award winning book, Body Brilliance: Mastering Your Five Vital Intelligences. He claims that as the number of enlightened people grows another 3 or 4% the problems that plague humanity now will dramatically shift. "As 10% of the world's population shifts into full enlightened consciousness,” he says “a tipping point of transformation will make life on earth a very different experience.” In today's episode we talk about how we can play a role in raising the collective conscious by learning to quiet the monkey brain and listen to our soul voice. I argue that the way to enlightenment is on a path through the forest. Highlight's from this episode: The monkey brain keeps you living in the past or fretting about the future. The monkey brain prevents you from being present. Being present in the now is what is required to achieve enlightenment. Connecting with nature helps to create presence of mind Only when you are present will you hear your the guidance of you soul voice Lau Tzu: “At the centre of your being you have the answer. You know who you are and you know what you want.” 30 Day Challenge - to invest 20 - 30 minutes in nature every day getting present with your environment.

Have You Ever Tried Using Lemon Juice For This...? Welcome to August 29th, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate odds and ends and all the ways we love lemon. Alan Davidson calls the origin of chop suey a prime example of culinary mythology. It is believed that the name means “assorted pieces” and this name fits the hodge podge of myths surrounding its creation. Though the Chinese don't claim the dish, they are usually at the heart of its stories, which go back as far as the 1860s. A Chinese chef in San Francisco was reportedly called upon to serve something to drunken miners after hours. He had nothing fresh to offer, so he combined leftovers and served a makeshift meal. It went over so well that the customers demanded a name for this dish and he supposedly replied, “chop suey,” which means odds and ends. On National Chop Suey Day, celebrate the delicious combination of flavors that piece together our love of Chinese cuisine. The sunny yellow citrus fruit that brightens our ice tea and drinks turns out to be mighty useful around the house. Did you know that lemon juice freshens your garbage disposal and takes the stains out of your sink? Of course we know that it prevents apples from browning, but did you know it works on veggies too? Try the same trick on cauliflower or give wilted lettuce a lift by soaking it in water with the juice of a lemon. It can also brighten hair and fingernails and can be used in place of deodorant. Of course it still tastes great in lemonade, which is probably the best use of all. On National Lemon Juice Day, celebrate the multipurpose wonder of this mighty little fruit.

The pudding is a dish very difficult to be described, because of the several sorts there are of it: flour, milk, eggs, butter, sugar, suet, marrow, raising, etc are the most common ingredients...They make them fifty several ways: BLESSED BE HE THAT INVENTED PUDDING for it is a manna that hits the palates of all sorts of people... Ah what an excellent thing is an English pudding!' - Henry Misson "Misson's Memoirs and Observations in His Travels Over England"All puddings started their lives as meat puddings. Mostly sausage-like concoctions similar black pudding. Even when we started wrapping food stuffs in cloth, and boiling them, they were heavy on meat, and some fruit and spices and even some sugar. How, from this we went to the Yorkshire pudding? A good question!A kind of early boiled pudding called thryon is described by the ancient Greek grammarian and gastronome Pollux: lard, brains, eggs and cream cheese were beaten together, the mixture was wrapped in fig leaves (in the same way as puddings were tied in a cloth later) and boiled in chicken or kid broth, then untied and given a final cooking in boiling honey. (Julius Pollux was a Greek scholar and rhetorician from Naucratis*, Ancient Egypt. Emperor Commodus appointed him a professor-chair of rhetoric in Athens at the Academy — on account of his melodious voice, or at least that's what we know according to Philostratus' Lives of the Sophists. Pollux Died in 238 AD in Athens.) Praise of course for cooking over fire! Any cooking; meat, vegetables, stews soups for that matter! Amazing skills from people who (still) do it! Plus my recipe for Yorkshire puddings! Tasty fluffy morsels of deliciousness! Heh...! Hope you're going to make them!It's been a while as I was very busy ...I had it all written down, but never had the chance to go to the studio and record it. So I decided to record this in my bedroom and in a hurry so apologies for the drop in audio quality of my recorded voice!Thanks to Sebastien Froment for lending me his French voice and accent to record as the French 17th century traveller Henri Misson. (From "Misson's Memoirs and Observations in His Travels Over England")Charles Lamb essay is from this little gem of a book : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dissertation-Upon-Roast-Other-Essays-ebook/dp/B004V2WR22 (Finally a credible explanation on how humankind started cooking over fire! Only kidding, I love the Chinese myth though!)I've tried my best to read the Yorkshire saying “Them ‘at eats t'most pudding gets t'most meat” without trying to pretend I'm from Yorkshire!I appreciate it might sound wrong when i say "batter" it might sound like "butter" but for the purpose of this episode, mostly when I say "batter" I mean "batter" ie flour and liquid mix that needs cooking and not the dairy product! Ha!Another point I thought might bring confusion is "Medieval Tansie" so what's that? Tansy is an edible flower/herb/plant whom the name can be traced back to the Latin athanasia, or immortality, from the Greek athanatos, meaning deathless, perhaps because the herb has been used to preserve bodies.Tansy was used to flavour puddings, cakes, and eggs, and gave its name to a pancake flavoured with bitter herbs known as a “tansie,” which was traditionally eaten in spring and associated with Easter. (One sixteenth-century authority noted that tansy was beneficial in purging the body of the excessive phlegm engendered by a Lenten diet of fish.)Tansy was more often added to sweet than savoury dishes, although it is the flavouring agent in a traditional Irish blood pudding known as drisheen. Alan Davidson, in The Oxford Companion to Food, speculates that the amount of tansy used was relatively small, given its strong taste.Some hopefully illuminating photos can be found here:http://wildflowerfinder.org.uk/Flowers/T/Tansy/Tansy.htm As always music is kindly composed & provided by Pavlos Kapralos:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzgAonk4-uVhXXjKSF-Nz1A Expect the opening and closing theme tune, which is "Waltz Detunee" performed, recorded and mixed by Cloudcub: https://cloudcub.bandcamp.com/album/down-memory-lane-ep Maltby & Greek link, for your 15% off of your next purchase please go here: maltbyandgreek.com/deliciousMany thanks and Happy listening!Thom & The Delicious LegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

The human experience is complicated. At times it can feel like we are being pulled in multiple directions, as if we are of two (or many) minds. I recently thought this was expressed perfectly on one of my favorite TV shows, Project Runway (US version). In the midst of struggling with choosing her creative direction one of the contestants, Victoria Cocieru, said “In my brain I have a thousand little brains and they are fighting with each other.” It can be hard to take action or create a space for healing when we are of so many minds. Alan Davidson was the perfect guest for a discussion of how humans can simultaneously be pulled in many different directions. I am a big fan of parts work and in this conversation Alan shares his unique and powerful work with archetypes, and we explore how it intersects with and complements parts work. It was with huge sadness that I learned of Alan's death in April of 2021. This was one of the last interviews he did. He was a thoughtful practitioner, a loving man, and a friend. He will be missed, but the power of his work and words live on. You can find the full tapping script of this audio as a pdf over at Tapping Q and A Podcast Scripts and Transcripts.

Over the weekend my friend, and all-around amazing thinker and practitioner, Alan Davidson died. Next week I will be sharing the last interview I did with him. In this week's podcast I would like to highlight the amazing interviews that I have done in the past about responding to grief. Grief is not an emotion that we only feel when a loved one passes away. It is an emotion we experience whenever we experience losses, no matter how big or small. Here are all the past podcast episodes about grief. They include interviews with experts on grief as well as tap-along audios to help you to move through grief.

One of my favorite parts of the tapping community is people's willingness to share their experience and expertise. A few months ago I sent an email to a number of practitioners I admire and asked them if they would be willing to share their wisdom about the following: What lessons have clients taught you about healing? What is something you have changed your mind about when it comes to healing, working with clients, or your own transformation process? If you were to start your own healing journey over again, what would you do differently? What is one thing you wish your clients believed about themselves? What is one thing you wish your clients believed about the healing process? I received some wonderful responses from Kim D'Eramo, Alan Davidson, Jondi Whitis, Robin Bilazarian, Kris Ferraro, Gwyneth Moss, Deborah D Miller, Jake Khym, Tania A Prince, Ange Finn, Nancy Forester, Peta Stapleton, Julie Schiffman, Steve Wells, and Mary Ayers. You can read all their answers (and soak up their wisdom) right here. Reading through all of these amazing answers gave me the opportunity to reflect on those questions myself. In this week's podcast I share my own answers to the five questions. These lessons are just a taste of what I will be teaching in my Mastering the Art of Delivery training.

Everyone loves a food feud. In the wake of the recent Alison Roman-Chrissy Teigen dustup, we take a look at some of our favorite culinary squabbles, which range from delightfully entertaining to downright nasty. Also we salute some of our dearest food provocateurs, the late, great Anthony Bourdain among them. Why are food fights so tantalizing to us? What role, if any, do they play in shaping the food’s future? Amidst all the dishing, there is room for thoughtful conversation about how food fights make us think about appropriation, honesty, plagiarism, and race. Correction: In the podcast, Mei states that a restauranteur filed a lawsuit against a reviewer before she published her article entitled, “The Peacock, the Critic, and the Blind Pussy.” He did not; he wrote a solicitor’s letter. Also Alison Roman is 34, and not 31.

We can make planet-wide, always-on, high-speed(ish) Internet communications a reality for everyone. In other words, a universal Internet is possible, say Alan Davidson, New America's Vice President for Technology Policy and Strategy and Director of the Open Technology Institute (OTI), and Danielle Kehl, a policy analyst with OTI, in this conversation with Anne-Marie Slaughter (and in New America's Big Ideas series on CNN). According to Davidson and Kehl, now that the goal of internet everywhere for everyone is on the horizon, global and local participation and investment are the keys to getting to that finish line.
Today, we put our information into the "cloud." Soon, we may get our Internet from real clouds. Facebook and Google make Internet connectivity ubiquitous by streaming it from hot air balloons and drones. Of course, it's not that easy. Alan Davidson, director of the Open Technology Institute, helps us understand some of the biggest terrestrial issues that could effect aerial Internet aspirations. Later, 2012 New America Fellow Brigid Schulte and Oxford Economics CEO Adam Sacks make the case for booking that trip to Puerto Rico as soon as possible: They tell us why skipping vacation is bad for us, our employers, and our economy.
Alan Davidson discusses his experiences as Chief Executive for a charity concerned with the development of Pharmacists and the profession of Pharmacy in Third World countries.
