welcome to wall-e's tech briefing for friday, august 30! here are today's top tech stories: apple and nvidia eyeing investment in openai: both companies are in talks to join a significant funding round led by thrive capital, potentially valuing openai at over $100 billion. nvidia q2 2025 earnings: nvidia announces a revenue of $30.04 billion and adjusted eps of 68 cents, beating wall street expectations. data center business revenues surged 154% year-over-year. openai and anthropic collaboration: these companies have agreed to allow the u.s. ai safety institute to test their models before public release, aiming to evaluate capabilities and address safety risks. dell's strong quarterly results: fueled by an 80% rise in server sales, dell posts a revenue of $25.06 billion and an adjusted eps of $1.89. ai server orders show significant growth. mongodb shares soar: after reporting strong fiscal second-quarter earnings with an adjusted eps of 70 cents and revenue of $478.1 million, mongodb raises its full-year guidance. stay tuned for tomorrow's tech updates!

The AI wars are heating up  Reports are out today that Amazon has selected Anthropic to be its AI partner for the new Alexa devices.   Reuters notes that initial versions Amazon's own AI proved insufficient, often struggling with words and responding to user prompts. It's thought that this enhanced AI assistant will be a subscription service costing $5 to $10 a month. Amazon already has a minority stake in the company.  Open AI is seeking investment too, and both Apple and Nvidia are interested, valuing the company at $100 billion. Apple is already planning to integrate ChatGPT into iOS and Siri, and Nvidia is a key supplier for Open AI.    AI Safety is in the government spotlight  Both OpenAI and Anthropic will share their models with the US Government's Safety Institute. Together with the UK they will evaluate safety risks and mitigate potential issues. There's a bill waiting for California's Governor's signature which will force AI companies in the state to take specific safety measures before training advanced models - that's the first in the country specifically targeting AI. That law would force companies to be able to quickly and fully shut the model down, prevent unsafe post-training modifications, and prevent critical harm.    Oprah is going to educate America about AI  She's doing a special for the ABC Network here called ‘AI and the Future of Us', where she'll interview Bill Gates and Sam Altman among others to explain how AI works, as well as the possibilities and risks ahead.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elizabeth Kelly, director of the U.S. AI Safety Institute, joins host Tammy Haddad for a live interview at the new Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C., before a live theater audience. Kelly, who co-authored President Biden's AI Executive Order, highlights her efforts standing up the U.S. AI Safety Institute at NIST, the Institute's new draft guidance on AI model misuse, including combatting image-based sexual abuse content generated by AI, and lays out how safety drives innovation and their plans for international cooperation and model testing. Kelly also introduces the Institute's new head of policy, Conrad Stosz.

In 2014, Builders Mutual helped lead the creation of the Job-Site Safety Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conducting safety research for residential and commercial job sites. Since its inception, JSI has funded significant research and educational tool development through grants with local, state, and national partners. On today's episode, we're joined by Builders Mutual CEO Mike Gerber and JSI Executive Director Rob Matuga, who help explain how the idea for JSI came together, what projects have been funded and what else is currently in the pipeline, and what the future of the organization looks like.

On this special episode, the CSIS Wadhwani Center for AI and Advanced Technologies is pleased to host Elizabeth Kelly, Director of the United States Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) at the U.S. Department of Commerce. The U.S. AI Safety Institute (AISI) was announced by Vice President Kamala Harris at the UK AI Safety Summit in November 2023. The institute was established to advance the science, practice, and adoption of AI safety in the face of risks including those to national security, public safety, and individual rights. Director Kelly will discuss the U.S. AISI's recently released Strategic Vision, its activities under President Biden's AI Executive Order, and its approach to the AISI global network announced at the AI Seoul Summit. 

In a shocking turn of events, AI systems might not be as safe as their creators make them out to be — who saw that coming, right? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Our guest, Jack Sullivan is the Director of Training for the Responder Safety Institute and has been with us several times over the years. On this occasion Jack addresses the tragically high number of “Struck by,” incidents, where a firefighter, law enforcement officer, ambulance team, recovery (tow) operator, Road Ranger and even innocent good-Samaritans are injured or killed, most due to inattentive drivers, from people on bikes to large tractor trailers. We, who are First Responders much work to educate our members to always maintain, “Situational Awareness” and our heads on a “swivel” in our efforts to bring more safety to our jobs.Jack also explains to us the heavy need for more TIM (Traffic Incident Management) Teams around the country. These teams review past response incidences and how they could have been handled and feed that info to the responder agencies. They also conduct training with various First Responder agencies to help their members learn how to be safer and how to include those findings with those involved. For more information, here are several links:https://www.respondersafety.com/ - Main Website with news and resources andhttps://learning.respondersafety.com/ - Responder Safety Learning Networkhttps://www.ReportStruckBy.com – For reporting struck by vehicle incidents involving emergency responders at incident scenes.https://www.enddd.org/ - End Distracted Driving resourcesJack Sullivan CSPDir.

Criminals are now targeting T-Mobile and Verizon employees with text messages offering bribes for performing SIM swaps. These messages claim to obtain contact information from employee directories, showcasing how attackers are leveraging social engineering tactics to gain unauthorized access, commit identity theft, and potentially lead to financial lawsuits. Despite T-Mobile denying a breach, the FBI has warned about the increasing prevalence of SIM swap attacks and introduced new rules to protect consumers. The U.S. AI Safety Institute has recently added five new members to its leadership team, including experts from OpenAI and Stanford University. One of the appointees, Paul Cristiano, a former OpenAI researcher known for his work on AI safety and predictions of potential AI doom, has been appointed as the head of AI safety at the US AI Safety Institute. This move has sparked controversy within the Institute, with some staff members expressing concerns about compromising objectivity and integrity.Three things to know today 00:00 T-Mobile and Verizon Employees Targeted in Bribery Schemes for SIM Swaps03:48 D&H Distributing Boosts Credit for 600+ SMB Channel Partners to Fuel Growth06:30 U.S. AI Safety Institute Bolsters Leadership with Top Experts from OpenAI and Stanford, But Not Without Controversy Supported by:  https://huntress.com/mspradio/https://coreview.com/msp/  All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/  Looking for a link from the stories?

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: NIST staffers revolt against expected appointment of 'effective altruist' AI researcher to US AI Safety Institute, published by Phib on March 9, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. "The appointment of Christiano, which was said to come directly from Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo (NIST is an agency under the US Department of Commerce) has sparked outrage among NIST employees who fear that Christiano's association with EA and longtermism could compromise the institute's objectivity and integrity." "The AISI was established in November 2023 to "support the responsibilities assigned to the Department of Commerce" under the AI Executive Order. Earlier today, US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that the NIST will receive up to $10 million to establish the US AI Safety Institute." Thanks for listening.

ThursdAI November 2ndHey everyone, welcome to yet another exciting ThursdAI. This week we have a special announcement, the co-host of and I will be hosting a shared X space live from Open AI Dev Day! Monday next week (and then will likely follow up with interviews, analysis and potentially a shared episode!)Make sure you set a reminder on X (https://thursdai.news/next) , we're going to open the live stream early, 8:30am on Monday, and we'll live stream all throughout the keynote! It'll be super fun!Back to our regular schedule, we covered a LOT of stuff today, and again, were lucky enough to have BREAKING NEWS and the authors of said breaking news (VB from HuggingFace and Emozilla from Yarn-Mistral-128K) to join us and talk a little bit in depth about their updates![00:00:34] Recap of Previous Week's Topics[00:00:50] Discussion on AI Embeddings[00:01:49] Gradio Interface and its Applications[00:02:56] Gradio UI Hosting and its Advantages[00:04:50] Introduction of Baklava Model[00:05:11] Zenova's Input on Distilled Whisper[00:10:32] AI Regulation Week Discussion[00:24:14] ChatGPT new All Tools mode (aka MMIO)[00:35:45] Discussion on Multimodal Input and Output Models[00:36:55] BREAKING NEWS: Mistral YaRN 7B - 128K context window[00:37:02] Announcement of Mistral Yarn Release[00:46:47] Exploring the Limitations of Current AI Models[00:47:25] The Potential of Vicuna 16k and Memory Usage[00:49:43] The Impact of Apple's New Silicon on AI Models[00:51:23] Introduction to New Models from Nius Research[00:51:39] The Future of Long Context Inference[00:53:42] Exploring the Capabilities of Obsidian[00:54:29] The Future of Multimodality in AI[00:58:48] The Exciting Developments in CodeFusion[01:06:49] The Release of the Red Pajama V2 Dataset[01:12:07] The Introduction of Luma's Genie[01:16:37] Discussion on 3D Models and Stable Diffusion[01:17:08] Excitement about AI Art and Diffusion Models[01:17:48] Regulation of AI and OpenAI Developments[01:18:24] Guest Introduction: VB from Hug& Face[01:18:53] VB's Presentation on Distilled Whisper[01:21:54] Discussion on Distillation Concept[01:27:35] Insanely Fast Whisper Framework[01:32:32] Conclusion and RecapShow notes and links:* AI Regulation* Biden Executive Order on AI was signed (Full EO, Deep dive)* UK AI regulation forum (King AI speech, no really, Arthur from Mistral)* Mozilla - Joint statement on AI and openness (Sign the letter)* Open Source LLMs* Together AI releases RedPajama 2, 25x larger dataset (30T tokens) (Blog, X, HF)* Alignment Lab - OpenChat-3.5 a chatGPT beating open source model (HF)* Emozilla + Nous Research - Yarn-Mistral-7b-128k (and 64K) longest context window (Announcement, HF)* LDJ + Nous Research release Capybara 3B & 7B (Announcement, HF)* LDJ - Obsidian 3B - the smallest open source multi modal model (HF, Quantized)* Big CO LLMs + APIs* ChatGPT "all tools" MMIO mode - Combines vision, browsing, ADA and DALL-E into 1 model (Thread, Examples, System prompt)* Microsoft CodeFusion paper - a tiny (75M parameters) model beats a 20B GPT-3.5-turbo (Thread, ArXiv)* Voice* Hugging Face - Distill whisper - 2x smaller english only version of Whisper (X, paper, code)* AI Art & Diffusion & 3D* Luma - text-to-3D Genie bot (Announcement, Try it)* Stable 3D & Sky changerAI Regulation IS HERELook, to be very frank, I want to focus ThursdAI on all the news that we're getting from week to week, and to bring a positive outlook, so politics, doomerism, and regulation weren't on the roadmap, however, with weeks like these, it's really hard to ignore, so let's talk about this.President Biden signed an Executive Order, citing the old, wartime era Defence Production act (looks like the US gov. also has "one weird trick" to make the gov move faster) and it wasn't as bombastic as people thought. X being X, there has been so many takes pre this executive order even releasing about regulatory capture being done by the big AI labs, about how open source is no longer going to be possible, and if you visit Mark Andressen feed you'll see he's only reposting AI generated memes to the tune of "don't tread on me" about GPU and compute rights.However, at least on the face of it, this executive order was mild, and discussed many AI risks and focused on regulating models from huge compute runs (~28M H100 hours // $50M dollars worth). Here's the relevant section.Many in the open source community reacted to the flops limitation with a response that it's very much a lobbyist based decision, and that the application should be regulated, not only the compute.There's much more to say about the EO, if you want to dig deeper, I strongly recommend this piece from AI Snake oil :and check out Yan Lecun's whole feed.UK AI safety summit in Bletchley ParkLook, did I ever expect to add the King of England into an AI weekly recap newsletter? Surely, if he was AI Art generated or something, not the real king, addressing the topic of AI safety!This video was played for the attendees of a few day AI safety summit in Blecheley park, where AI luminaries (Yan Lecun, Elon Musk, Arthur Mensch Mistral CEO, Naveen Rao) attended and talked about the risks and benefits of AI and regulation. I think Naveen Rao had a great recap here, but additionally, there were announcements about Safety Institute in the UK, and they outlined what actions the government can take.In other regulation related news, Mozilla has a joint statement on AI safety and openness (link) that many signed, which makes the case for openness and open source as the way to AI safety. Kudos on mozilla, we stand by the letter

By Ingrid Lunden. The world is locked in a race, and competition, over dominance in AI, but today, a few of them appeared to come together to say that they would prefer to collaborate when it comes to mitigating risk.

We are deeply saddened to report that Richard McSpadden died in an aircraft accident outside Lake Placid, New York, on Sunday afternoon. The Cessna 177 Cardinal in which Richard was in the right seat experienced an emergency after takeoff. The airplane attempted to return to the airport but failed to make the runway. Both occupants lost their lives. Richard was a very accomplished pilot, including serving as commander of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds during his military career, and a trusted colleague, friend, son, husband, and father.  Richard is survived by his wife, Judy; his son, Grant; and his daughter, Annabel.  Our thoughts are with Richard's family at this time. The Pilot Network wants to echo the AOPA with our sincerest and heartfelt thoughts to Richard's family. He led through selfless action and was a pilot's pilot. Thank you for making us all a little better at flying airplanes; your legacy will live on through aviators everywhere.

We see it almost every day and sometimes, we are as much to blame as anyone else. We're talking about distracted driving and the very real, very dangerous and fatal toll that it causes. From long conversations on your cell phone to watching videos, sports, etc., each contributes to a distracted driver. This driver may not even notice our flashing lights and multiple emergency vehicles and winds up plowing through the scene, injuring or killing anyone unable to get out of his/her way. My guests today are deeply involved in the effort to reduce these incursions and, educate both first responders and the public, that distracted driving is indeed dangerous for all; the driver, anyone in that vehicle, as well as any first responder that cannot get out of the way fast enough. Jack Sullivan and Todd Leiss are lead educators for the Responder Safety Institute (www.respondersafety.com). Brock Aun is with HAAS Alert, (www.haasalert.com) a company that, along with others, is pioneering new technology that, using cellular services, will provide drivers with advance warning of a traffic incident ahead, giving them the necessary time to slow down and move over. Every state in America has a “Move Over Law and has signage on major roadways that advise drivers to safely slow their vehicle and move over to allow room for the first responders on the scene. Sadly, many drivers who have encroached on an emergency scene will often say, “I didn't see a sign,” or “I didn't know that!” Yet, it is the responsibility of anyone with a driver's license to know all the “Rules of the Road.” Too often, these drivers seriously injure and/or kill, first responders who are on-scene, to help someone else. And that just might land you with hefty fines and even jail time! Take a listen – you just might learn something. As always, you can catch the video version on our YouTube® channel, 5-Alarm Task Force Corp., and listen to the audio version on our Podomatic page at https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/dalmatprod206  or tune in to the audio version on our website, www.5-AlarmTaskForceCoorp.org or on your favorite podcast platform!

Today we hear the Combat Story of long-time Special Forces veteran, Ranger, and sniper Darrell Utt, who spent 26 years in the service, most of that in special operations across 10 deployments. Call to Action: For former military, government and law enforcement, if you're looking for a high paying and meaningful job, check out our Trust & Safety Institute at www.trustsafetyinstitute.com. Darrell tracked down PIFWICs (Persons Indicted for War Crimes) in Kosovo, was part of one of the craziest infils into Iraq you'll ever hear, used a honeypot to lure out an HVT, developed a devastatingly effective HUMINT network, and led countless kill/capture operations, taking down dozens of HVTs and detaining hundreds of extremists and their leaders. What's great about Darrell is that he always put himself in harm's way ahead of troops, which is not always the case. His ODA unit earned the coveted Larry Thorne award which goes to the best Special Forces unit for the work they did during one deployment to Iraq. Darrell himself earned the MG Robert T. Frederick “Top Operator” Award, which goes to the top Special Forces NCO. Since leaving the service, Darrell has taken on a role helping to build the future of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, which is on a mission to deliver “education, leadership, and inspiring spaces for learning and reflection, to preserve, share, and harness the stories, lives, and impact of Medal of Honor recipients.” I couldn't imagine anyone better to represent the stories and lives of our Medal of Honor brethren than Darrell. I hope you enjoy this interview chalked full of creative and gut-wrenching combat stories as much as I did.

Today we hear a rare Combat Story from a long-time Delta Force Commander and operator, Pete Blaber, who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Somalia, Colombia, and Panama. Call to Action: For former military, government and law enforcement, if you're looking for a high paying and meaningful job, check out our Trust & Safety Institute. Pete is an understated, humble, and soft spoken warrior leader who applies a commonsense approach to all of his decisions, to include those in combat. His decision to join the military came from studying centuries of warfare and how seemingly brilliant leaders made senseless decisions and wanting to avoid making the same mistakes. He spent most of his career in the special operations side of the Army from Ranger Battalion to Delta Force and then, after retiring, took on a role as a senior leader in a multi-billion dollar tech company. He has since written two books (The Mission, The Men, and Me: Lessons from a Former Delta Force Commander, and, more recently, The Common Sense Way: A New Way to Think About Leading and Organizing) that share the lessons he learned from leading in some of the most historic and high intensity conflicts in the past 35 years. I hope you enjoy this humble, understated, and unique perspective into the life and thinking of a Tier 1 operator and officer as much as I did.

Neal Thurman, a co-founder of the Brand Safety Institute, recently joined Tiffany Xingyu Wang for a Brand Safety Exchange podcast episode where he discussed the state and future of brand safety as it enters its “awkward teenage” years and continues a path to maturity. That growth, which has included increasing collaboration among platforms in creating common approaches to understand and tackle online toxicity, has allowed marketers to take more successful and nuanced approaches in managing digital brands.

This is a great discussion about "Spad's" 20 year career in the Air Force, including leading the Thunderbirds, transitioning to General Aviation and civilian life and now his third career as the Director of the Air Safety Institute and the joint initiative between the ASI and the RAF to reduce accidents in the backcountry.

It is akin to a probing mentor, generating thought as it dissects across disciplines, with health and wellbeing at its core. Some of the episodes such as the recent cast on bullying have opened up my mind, and the technique that Andrew uses to flip threat discussions into opportunities has already reaped rewards in my own continuing professional development. I would like to say a big thanks to Andrew and enjoy hearing more of your great work. " If you appreciate what we're creating here at Safety on Tap, you can also spread the word by submitting a review on iTunes or Stitcher - I am always humbled and appreciative of the feedback I get. Today's guest is Kelly Lovely, an accomplished health and safety professional, mentor and coach through Bookenz Leadership, not to mention a director on the Board of the Safety Institute of Australia.  Here we go:   I mentioned the Implicit Association Test which would provide your unconscious bias, you really need to take at least one of these tests: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/australia/takeatest.html Kelly was also kind enough to create an e-book just for you, which describes the bookenz game in more detail.  You can access that here: [thrive_leads id='1516'] And speaking of improving yourself, I wanted to let you know that our friends at Art of Work have released new dates for their Master Classes across Australia, the UK and New Zealand. If you haven't heard of them, Art of Work is the company to go to if you're looking for practical support in implementing safety differently principles within your organisation. If you visit their website at artofwork.solutions, you'll see a range of Master Classes that will help you to shift the conversation away from controls and constraints and towards a more proactive and appreciative approach.  

Richard McSpadden was first introduced to flying when his mother presented his father with an introductory flight lesson. His father became a pilot and that started a generational love of aviation that passed to Richard and now to his children. His father purchased a Navion, and Richard earned his pilot ratings in the plane. Richard joined the Air Force after college, and found that the Navion time really gave him an edge in Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT). His performance in UPT was instrumental in his getting the only F-15 assignment available to his graduating class. After attending F-15 training at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, he was assigned to Kadena Air Base, Okinawa. He followed that assignment with an F-15A assignment at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. When it was time for a staff assignment, Richard became the Air Attache in the Republic of the Philippines, and flew the C-12 King Air aircraft as part of his duties. Seeing an Air Force announcement that the Thunderbirds were recruiting demonstration pilots, Richard applied, completing an extensive flying history and personal resume. He was selected for an evaluation flight, and took it in an F-16, which he had never flown before, and became the new Commander for the Thunderbirds. After his two-year tour with the Thunderbirds, Richard retired from the Air Force and pursued a career at Hewlett Packard. In 2017, Richard became the Executive Director of the AOPA Air Safety Institute.

"Where shall I begin, your Majesty?" he asked.  "Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go-on until the end: then stop". Thanks Lewis Carroll, the King, and the White Rabbit who asked such a great question in the first place! Since this is episode ZERO (not that kind of zero...) of the Safety on Tap podcast, I thought it gentlemanly that I tell you a little about my WHY....and a little bit more about me. Towards the end I also share two short-but-great interviews, which I recorded at the 2016 South Australian Health and Safety Conference, with thanks from conference organisers Informa. Marie Boland, Executive Director of SafeWork SA shares with us how she is disrupting her organisation from the inside, and David Clarke, CEO of the Safety Institute of Australia, makes the case for professional certification and the momentum of the health and safety profession in Australia.

Allison Josephs interviews Debbie Fox, founder and Director of Magen Yeladim Child Safety Institute who speaks to us about abuse in the Orthodox community.

On this episode I interview Jack Sullivan, Director of Training for the Responder Safety Institute. The mission of the Institute is to reduce highway incidents involving first responders and to minimize the impact of responders who are involved in these incidents.   Our discussion was recorded at the National Volunteer Fire Council Summit in Myrtle Beach where Jack was presenting on highway incident safety and I was presenting program on Thirty deadly situational awareness barriers.   Thank you to the fifty-plus people who attended my session and for sharing your wonderful feedback. The one seasoned veteran who noted: “I realized I don’t know what I thought I knew” is a common response to this program. Rest easy, my friend. I am trying very hard to change that… through the articles on the website, the on-line academy, the books, the videos, the live programs and of course, through this radio show. Stick with me and we’ll change that for you.   During this interview, Jack shares:   1.How a seemingly routine incident caused Jack to lose a friend and how this wake up call inspired him to get involved in educating responders on roadway incidents.   2.How the Institute uses case studies, dash cam videos, and department of transportation videos to build awareness of roadway incidents.   3.The challenges of tracking roadway near-miss and injury incidents.   4.How the motoring public today lack respect for authority and first responders and how they may suffer from what Jack refers to as the four Ds: Drowsy, Distracted, Drugged and/or Dumb. I guess we could through Disrespectful in there and make it five Ds.   5.How a me-first attitude, texting, talking on phones and GPS are creating huge problems. Sadly, some firefighters are among the D-drives when operating their personal vehicles.   6.Why it is so important to build relations and rapport with other public safety agencies in advance of responding to roadway incidents to avoid incident scene conflicts – including the involvement of partner agencies in the development of joint roadway incident response standard operating guidelines.   7.The upcoming National Traffic Incident Management and Responder Safety Training Program train-the-trainer gathering where over 260 responders are converging on the campus of the National Fire Academy to develop cross-agency collaboration.   8.How you can access the responder safety learning network where you can register and obtain free training on roadway safety.   INFORMATION   If you are interested in attending a live event, you can check out the Situational Awareness Matters Tour Stop schedule at: SAMatters.com.

I will put a link to the Institute’s website in the show notes.   I'd like to share some feedback I have received on the radio show and thank you for searching the show on iTunes, subscribing and leaving your feedback and five-star review. This will definitely help others find the show.   This feedback comes from Firefighter505   You must take time to listen to Dr. (Chief) Gasaway’s podasts! More life saving information for us! Thanks iTunes for carrying a podcast that will change Firefighters lives, and ultimately save many more lives!   And this feedback was shared by Alex Hickey of the North Kitsap Fire and Rescue     This is a great style of podcast done right. The doctor has a great presentation style and there are many ‘takeaways’ from each episode. My favorite part is the portion of each episode when he reviews a near-miss/close call. Too often, these types of incidents are ignored by training FFs who choose to focus only on LODDs (which are by no means a bad thing to focus on, but we can also learn from our near misses!!!). What are you waiting for, listen now and subscribe!   Well, that is it. Episode 10 is complete. Thank you for sharing some of your valuable time with me today. I sincerely appreciate your support of the SAMatters mission.   If you like the show, please go to iTunes, and search for SAMatters Radio and subscribe to the podcast and leaving your feedback and a 5-star review.
