New comment by rippeltippel in "EU Commission looking at practical consequences of Anthropic decision"

Hopefully, EU-based Yann LeCunn's AMI Labs will develop foundational world models at some point. As I see it, the main problem in EU is not lack of talent: it's lack of investments. Mistral itself recently secured 4B, which is 50 times less than what it could have made in the US.

If I were Dario Amodei, I would start relocating Anthropic to the EU, where there's a huge interest in supporting domestic AI. Also, EU politics are so fragmented that a suspension like this one would be very hard to be agreed.

Yann LeCun got that right with AMI Labs.

I agree with the "what" but not with the "how".

The article essentially says that, for a junior to be hired, they should demonstrate the same experience as a senior: deploy real system that solve real problems, know how systems behave in production, etc. That is precisely the skillset that someone builds up in a professional environment, i.e. after being hired.

In my view and experience (20+ years in the field) the value of junior colleagues is not in what they already know how to do, but in the freshness of their ideas, and the ability to learn the skills required to bring those ideas to fruition.

So, I agree that the hiring pipeline is broken, but for a different reason: companies stopped looking at juniors as a long-term investment.

I can think of a few reasons for that. In any case, that mindset is to blame, not the "kids" and their education.

The readme says "This app deliberately does not support breath retention, rapid breathing, or any pattern not grounded in the slow-breathing clinical literature." Also links to relevant literature.

In the mid 90s, one of the main use cases advertised for the Web was sharing recipes. I didn't know anyone who primarily searched for recipes online, clearly those ads were targeted at a different demographic group.

Possibly. And possibly the fact that breaking experience for iOS users would result in a massive backlash, while the volume of non-iOS/non-Android users is negligible in comparison. Some of them will convert to mainstream OSes, the rest will succumb.

Nice work with mxmap. It's a very good way to appreciate to what extent EU depends on US - email providers being just one of several dimensions.
