Bluesky I agree with this take by @billgates.bsky.social, who also highlights several of the growing risks of AI systems, including cyber, bio and loss of control. We need to be far better prepared to address the risks of frontier models being developed by leading AI companies. English, from French Je suis d'accord avec ce point de vue de @billgates.bsky.social, qui souligne également plusieurs des risques croissants des systèmes d'IA, notamment cyber, bio et perte de contrôle.

When I talk to young people about work, the same thing keeps coming up. Not a lack of ambition - a lack of a way in. One million young people in this country are not in education, work or training. That's around one in eight. And six in ten of them have never had a job at all. I know that these young people aren't lazy. They have been let down by a system that told them there was only one route to success, and then left them without the opportunities to get their foot in the door anywhere else. Too often, work experience has depended on who you know, rather than what you can do. Last month we… ambition Related

Heartbroken to hear my friend Sir Billy Boston has died. Billy was one of the greatest Rugby League players of all time but also one of the kindest and most down-to-earth people you could ever wish to meet. He always had time for people and gave so much to back to his adopted home, Wigan. I will miss him greatly and am thinking today of Billy’s family, still grieving the recent loss of his beloved wife Joan. A giant of a man in every way. Thank you, Billy, and rest in peace. Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public

quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
