📣✨ Introducing Latticework, new work with @MatthewWSiu. 🕸️✍️
It aims to help with making sense of messy piles of unstructured documents. The key idea is unifying annotation (direct reaction in context) w/ freeform text-editing (for fluid sensemaking).

I think most underestimate frontier vision-capable LLMs. They will change how we extract and retrieve information over multiple modalities and have a broad industry impact. Simon is great at highlighting these capabilities (and limitations).
For example, when you upload a PDF to Gemini AI Studio, it extracts screenshots of all the pages and stuff into the prompt; converting everything to screenshots is so intelligent; it's how we look at information through our eyes.

Questione #carceri
Insieme, @cucchi_ilaria e @SalisIlaria, in Italia e in Europa, vogliamo fare del nostro meglio per favorire una decisa inversione di rotta.
Per un miglioramento tangibile delle condizioni materiali dei detenuti, per una nuova cultura della giustizia oltre il sistema-carcere.
Lavoreremo in prospettiva e in profondità, cercando di coinvolgere le migliori intelligenze critiche e facendo valere le esperienze delle persone recluse.
Ma serve iniziare subito. Perché se non facciamo niente, l’estate italiana delle prigioni sarà l’inferno.
