O festival Rec-Beat, idealizado por Antonio Gutierrez, Gutie, teve sua origem no início da década de 90 com festas temáticas organizadas em espaços alternativos no Recife. As primeiras edições como ‘festival' aconteceram em Olinda. O evento cresceu, migrou para o Recife, se tornou gratuito e passou a compor a programação noturna do Carnaval da cidade. Este ano, em sua 29ª edição, o Rec-Beat traz atrações internacionais inéditas, além de novos nomes da cena local. Gutie conversou com a âncora Patrícia Breda nesta terça-feira (25) e detalhou toda a programação do festival, que acontece de 1 a 4 de março no Cais da Alfândega, sempre a partir das 19h. O curador do Rec-Beat afirmou que olhar para o festival é olhar para o futuro, pois em sua curadoria ele procura trazer artistas e sonoridades de locais como Angola, Uganda, Bélgica, Colômbia, Portugal sem deixar de fora de sua programação os novos nomes do Pará, Bahia, São Paulo e Pernambuco. Oferecendo uma experiência inspiradora ao público em um ambiente aberto, democrático e gratuito, o Rec-Beat atrai mais de 60 mil pessoas todos os anos e “segue sendo um espaço de resistência e renovação, conectando territórios, atento à produção contemporânea brasileira e afro-íbero-americana”, comenta Guiterrez. Toda a programação do festival, que trará na abertura e intervalos das apresentações, DJs mulheres pernambucanas, está disponível no site recbeatfestival.com

Die Bundestagswahl 2025 steht kurz bevor, und die Parteien befinden sich im Endspurt des Wahlkampfs. Doch diese Wahl ist eine besondere: Durch den Bruch der Ampel-Koalition und die Vertrauensfrage wurde sie vorgezogen und findet deutlich früher statt als ursprünglich geplant. In dieser Folge der CAISzeit werfen wir einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Wahlorganisation: Wie wird die Wahl organisiert und wer ist eigentlich im Hintergrund am Prozess beteiligt? Welche Herausforderungen haben Kommunen bei der Bereitstellung von Wahllokalen, Wahlhelfer:innen und Briefwahlunterlagen? Wie beeinflussen enge Fristen und fehlende Statistiken zur Briefwahl das Vertrauen in die Wahl? Welche Rolle spielen digitale Innovationen bisher im Wahlprozess, und welche Chancen sowie Risiken bringen sie mit sich? Zu Gast sind die Politikwissenschaftler:innen Anne Goldmann und Aryan Shooshtari, die bei uns am CAIS im Forschungsprogramm Digitale Demokratische Innovationen forschen. Gemeinsam mit ihnen diskutiert Host Matthias Begenat die Herausforderungen dieser besonderen Wahl.

O Giro 360, podcast do jornal O POPULAR em parceria com a CBN Goiânia, está de volta para mais uma temporada. Com quadro, trilha sonora nova e a mesma qualidade de análise da política goiana. E, como não podia deixar de ser, neste primeiro episódio do ano o personagem principal é o prefeito de Goiânia, Sandro Mabel (UB). Em um mês e meio de mandato, o prefeito foi praticamente onipresente: no Cais, na Praça Tamandaré, em cima de um caminhão do Cata Treco. O trio formado por Caio Henrique Salgado (editor da coluna Giro), Júlio Lacerda (subeditor de Notícias do POPULAR) e Rubens Salomão (repórter de política) comentam os primeiros dias de Mabel no Paço Municipal, e o que eles indicam para o restante do mandato. É só dar o play.

Introduction This episode of the InspirED SparkCast discusses the 2022 Independent School Cost-Per-Enrollment Study produced jointly by the Enrollment Management Association (EMA), the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), and National Business Officers Association (NBOA) to make informed decisions around funding and support for enrollment efforts.  [Links above lead to the study. Your school must be a member of one of the organizations to be eligible for download.] This is the Executive Summary on the NAIS website. Among the independent schools that participated in this research, enrollment costs were as follows: The median cost-per-enrollment (CPE) was $3,677 The median cost-per-inquiry (CPI) was $697 The median ROI was $7 in tuition for each dollar spent to enroll a new student in their first year Enrollment costs varied significantly across school demographics. The largest schools (those with 700+ students) had the lowest CPE of all school groups—and saw the highest return on their investment ($8.60 in tuition for each dollar spent on enrollment management in the first year of tuition). Elementary schools had the smallest cost per enrollment ($2,869 per enrollee vs. the median $3,677 per enrollee.) The median CPE for secondary schools was $5,844.   The full report contains additional data on enrollment costs sorted by school type (day/boarding), size, region, and grade levels served.    Kevin MacNeil        Kevin is the CAO and Partner of Metric Marketing. Kevin has worked with more than a hundred independent schools across North America. Exposed to nearly a decade of admissions marketing campaigns, he prides himself on helping schools make decisions based on data. He is a practiced teacher of marketing and advertising, including work with NAIS, NYSAIS, EMA, AISAP, InspirED, ISSL, CAIS.  Metric Marketing started as a web development/tech company in 1999, and Kevin joined them in 2008. During that time, the company began to transform into a digital advertising agency and then a full-service agency. In 2013, Metric started working with private schools, and by 2019, they were working with schools across North America. Kevin realized his and Metric's passion was to help schools grow.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Is "superhuman" AI forecasting BS? Some experiments on the "539" bot from the Centre for AI Safety, published by titotal on September 18, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Disclaimer: I am a computational physicist's and this investigation is outside of my immediate area of expertise. Feel free to peruse the experiments and take everything I say with appropriate levels of skepticism. Introduction: The centre for AI safety is a prominent AI safety research group doing technical AI research as well as regulatory activism. It's headed by Dan Hendrycks, who has a PHD in computer science from Berkeley and some notable contributions to AI research. Last week CAIS released a blog post, entitled "superhuman automated forecasting", announcing a forecasting bot developed by a team including Hendrycks, along with a technical report and a website "five thirty nine", where users can try out the bot for themselves. The blog post makes several grandiose claims, claiming to rebut Nate silvers claims that superhuman forecasting is 15-20 years away, and that: Our bot performs better than experienced human forecasters and performs roughly the same as (and sometimes even better than) crowds of experienced forecasters; since crowds are for the most part superhuman, so is FiveThirtyNine. He paired this with a twitter post, declaring: We've created a demo of an AI that can predict the future at a superhuman level (on par with groups of human forecasters working together). Consequently I think AI forecasters will soon automate most prediction markets. The claim is this: Via a chain of prompting, GPT4-o can be harnessed for superhuman prediction. Step 1 is to ask GPT to figure out the most relevant search terms for a forecasting questions, then those are fed into a web search to yield a number of relevant news articles, to extract the information within. The contents of these news articles are then appended to a specially designed prompt which is fed back to GPT-4o. The prompt instructs it to boil down the articles into a list of arguments "for" and "against" the proposition and rate the strength of each, to analyse the results and give an initial numerical estimate, and then do one last sanity check and analysis before yielding a final percentage estimate. How do they know it works? Well, they claim to have run the bot on several metacalculus questions and achieved accuracy greater than both the crowd average and a test using the prompt of a competing model. Importantly, this was a retrodiction: they tried to run questions from last year, while restricting it's access to information since then, and then checked how many of the subsequent results are true. A claim of superhuman forecasting is quite impressive, and should ideally be backed up by impressive evidence. A previous paper trying similar techniques yielding less impressive claims runs to 37 pages, and it demonstrates them doing their best to avoid any potential flaw or pitfall in the process(and I'm still not sure they succeeded). In contrast, the CAIS report is only 4 pages long, lacking pretty much all the relevant information one would need to properly assess the claim. You can read feedback from the twitter replies, Manifold question, Lesswrong and the EA forum, which were all mostly skeptical and negative, bringing up a myriad of problems with the report. This report united most rationalists and anti-rationalists in skepticism. Although I will note that both AI safety memes and Kat Woods seemed to accept and spread the claims uncritically. The most important to highlight is these twitter comments by the author of a much more rigorous paper cited in the report, claiming that the results did not replicate on his side, as well as this critical response by another AI forecasting institute. Some of the concerns: The retrodiction...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Response to Aschenbrenner's "Situational Awareness", published by Rob Bensinger on June 6, 2024 on LessWrong. (Cross-posted from Twitter.) My take on Leopold Aschenbrenner's new report: I think Leopold gets it right on a bunch of important counts. Three that I especially care about: 1. Full AGI and ASI soon. (I think his arguments for this have a lot of holes, but he gets the basic point that superintelligence looks 5 or 15 years off rather than 50+.) 2. This technology is an overwhelmingly huge deal, and if we play our cards wrong we're all dead. 3. Current developers are indeed fundamentally unserious about the core risks, and need to make IP security and closure a top priority. I especially appreciate that the report seems to get it when it comes to our basic strategic situation: it gets that we may only be a few years away from a truly world-threatening technology, and it speaks very candidly about the implications of this, rather than soft-pedaling it to the degree that public writings on this topic almost always do. I think that's a valuable contribution all on its own. Crucially, however, I think Leopold gets the wrong answer on the question "is alignment tractable?". That is: OK, we're on track to build vastly smarter-than-human AI systems in the next decade or two. How realistic is it to think that we can control such systems? Leopold acknowledges that we currently only have guesswork and half-baked ideas on the technical side, that this field is extremely young, that many aspects of the problem look impossibly difficult (see attached image), and that there's a strong chance of this research operation getting us all killed. "To be clear, given the stakes, I think 'muddling through' is in some sense a terrible plan. But it might be all we've got." Controllable superintelligent AI is a far more speculative idea at this point than superintelligent AI itself. I think this report is drastically mischaracterizing the situation. 'This is an awesome exciting technology, let's race to build it so we can reap the benefits and triumph over our enemies' is an appealing narrative, but it requires the facts on the ground to shake out very differently than how the field's trajectory currently looks. The more normal outcome, if the field continues as it has been, is: if anyone builds it, everyone dies. This is not a national security issue of the form 'exciting new tech that can give a country an economic or military advantage'; it's a national security issue of the form 'we've found a way to build a doomsday device, and as soon as anyone starts building it the clock is ticking on how long before they make a fatal error and take themselves out, and take the rest of the world out with them'. Someday superintelligence could indeed become more than a doomsday device, but that's the sort of thing that looks like a realistic prospect if ASI is 50 or 150 years away and we fundamentally know what we're doing on a technical level - not if it's more like 5 or 15 years away, as Leopold and I agree. The field is not ready, and it's not going to suddenly become ready tomorrow. We need urgent and decisive action, but to indefinitely globally halt progress toward this technology that threatens our lives and our children's lives, not to accelerate ourselves straight off a cliff. Concretely, the kinds of steps we need to see ASAP from the USG are: Spearhead an international alliance to prohibit the development of smarter-than-human AI until we're in a radically different position. The three top-cited scientists in AI (Hinton, Bengio, and Sutskever) and the three leading labs (Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepMind) have all publicly stated that this technology's trajectory poses a serious risk of causing human extinction (in the CAIS statement). It is absurd on its face to let any private company...

In episode 10 of the Alternative Allocations podcast series, Tony and Matt Brown of CAIS share their enthusiasm for alternative asset classes and strategies and discuss the evolution of the alternative investment landscape. With product innovation and further demand for access, the need for world class managers becomes ever more important to continue to provide opportunities to more and more advisors.  Matt Brown is the Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CAIS. He has spent over 30 years at the intersection of wealth management, alternative investments, and platform design. He began his career as a financial advisor at Shearson Lehman Brothers and Smith Barney. In 2009, Matt founded CAIS, the first truly open marketplace for alternative investments, where financial advisors and asset managers can engage and transact directly on a massive scale. Financial advisors, the professionals we designate to oversee our economic futures, do not have the same access to alternative investments in comparison to large institutions. CAIS is changing that. Matt believes entrepreneurship is the major driver of economic and social change. He's spent the better part of two decades working with Endeavor, the world's leading organization for high impact entrepreneurs. During his tenure, he had the opportunity to mentor dozens of entrepreneurs from around the world, including Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Matt is honored to have been on Endeavor's South African and Turkish Boards which ultimately led to a position on the Global Board of Directors. The experience deepened his belief that helping entrepreneurs build and scale their businesses promotes economic growth and prosperity. It's Matt's personal mission to ensure that anyone with a dream, and the drive to achieve it, has an equal opportunity to make it happen.   Matt Brown | LinkedIn Transforming the world of alternative investing - CAIS (caisgroup.com) Alternatives by Franklin Templeton Tony Davidow, CIMA® | LinkedIn
