During the weekend I built a contextual search tool for a photo library with 42k images across 2.8k galleries. The results are amazing! Turns out the AI models that generate embedding vectors from images directly are BAD at capturing the image contents, so I had to first generate captions and then generate the embeddings for the captions instead. Total cost: $30 for both captions (gpt-5-mini) and embeddings (text-embedding-3-large with 3072 dimensions). OpenAI Related

Deep-learning researcher and Turing Award laureate; founder of the Mila institute.
Scientists at frontier AI companies are uniquely positioned to assess AI’s capabilities and warn the public about what they see. 1000+ of them are now speaking out across company lines to warn that the current commercial race leads to unacceptable security risks. I agree with their call: we need an international effort to develop technical and governance guardrails to ensure a safer trajectory in AI development. pacingthefrontier.com

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
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
