Vicki Boykis giving a talk in front of a title slide on a movie screen that says "Build Yourself Flowers"
Watching @vickiboykis.com's keynote at the Applied Machine Learning Conference in Charlottesville!
Ha no worries! I just wanted to say hi as you passed. I'm one of the organizers, so am spread thin today. Glad you could make it again!
A movie theater full of people watching a speaker (David Luebke from NVIDIA Research) in the front. The slide showing on the screen says "LESSONS: CARRYING OUT RESEARCH I can support this kind of thing about once per year. Is this the time? Protect your time. Decline meetings. Decline obligations. Your manager's job is to help."

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸
We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto.
The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

The case has also rippled through the industry in other ways. On Monday, more than three dozen engineers, scientists and researchers working at rival AI companies Google and OpenAI issued a legal briefing in support of Anthropic. The employees, who are building Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT software and who signed the briefing in their personal capacities, argued that the Pentagon’s decision created unpredictability across the industry, undermined American competitiveness and stifled legitimate and important debates about AI’s deployment. The signatories included Dean, Google’s chief scientist and a longtime leader of the company’s work on AI. (The Washington Post has a content partnership with OpenAI.) “By silencing one lab, the government reduces the industry’s potential to innovate solutions,” the briefing said. The employees noted that they represent the spectrum of political viewpoints but that they were united in the belief that there must be guardrails around the use of AI to create autonomous weapons and mass surveillance.
Some AI competitors are coming together to oppose Trump's strong-arm tactics against Anthropic.
This is a very important development and critical to how a pro-democracy coalition defeats authoritarian threats.
