States moving 'ahead' with AI regulation in different directions.
Texas has formally introduced its massive and complex AI law—my writeup is below. Many people debated whether SB 1047 was “light touch.” Regardless, I believe that this is a *far* more onerous regulation—more requirements and broader liability on more industry participants.

Appreciating @khalifahmanaa and @getsampo's plans for supporting the launch of @ASIMOV_Protocol! Product information is a particularly great semantic knowledge graph use case, and applying Transformers to price optimization will make for an excellent joint research project.

Instead of predicting the next word, we'll predict the next price point with @getsampo - and I can see many other venues where this could be applied to. Proud to have Sampo as a founding member of @asimov_protocol 🙏

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) says AI was a “censorship machine” from the beginning—and explains why that is “a thousand times more dangerous” than what we’ve already seen on social media: “AI is going to be the control layer for everything in the future… healthcare, education, government… If you want to create the ultimate dystopian world, you’d have a world where everything is controlled by an AI that’s been programmed to lie… It is vitally important that this not happen. This has to be fought—this will happen by default unless people fight it.” Watch his full conversation with @BariWeiss: thefp.pub/4g6Cjkx

The book I've handed out the most here in Dubai this quarter, including to government representatives. Still got several hardcopies left in the batch, come to @ASIMOVMeetup this Friday to claim your copy!
What? Linear algebra and calculus and machine learning for the holidays! Might a math-y book be a good gift to give someone for the holidays? I hope so :-) “A masterpiece.” —Geoffrey Hinton, 2024 Nobel Laureate and Turing Award winner “After just a few minutes of reading Why Machines Learn, you’ll feel your own synaptic weights getting updated. By the end you will have achieved your own version of deep learning—with deep pleasure and insight along the way.” —Steven Strogatz, NYT bestselling author and professor of mathematics at Cornell University “Comprehensive yet engaging book...An essential read for understanding both the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence.” —Sabine Hossenfelder, physicist and NYT bestselling author “A masterful work...this book will be an invaluable companion for anyone who wants a deep understanding of what’s under the hood of these often inscrutable machines.” —Melanie Mitchell, author of Artificial Intelligence and Professor at the Santa Fe Institute US: penguinrandomhouse.com/books… UK: penguin.co.uk/books/446849/w…

In explaining the significance of the invention of AMMs to folks during the @ASIMOVMeetup afterparty the other day, I was reminded that it was @dafacto's singular explanation and perspective on this that pulled me back into crypto development in late 2019. And that in turn eventually resulted in my heading up EVM development at @NEARProtocol and cofounding the @auroraisnear spinoff to productize it. All of that flowing ultimately from a single brilliant explanation. Thanks, Matt. Matt, perhaps consider writing up your narrative and perspective—still haven't seen it matched anywhere!
