“Even if a war does precipitate the final collapse of the Islamic Republic, the lessons of the overthrow of brutal regimes elsewhere in the Middle East are very discouraging — particularly when regime collapse is caused by foreign military intervention” www.ft.com/content/73eb...

My wolves within are multifarious
And they go by many names
Just today Goddamn it and I'm Tired of This conspired
with Fed Up and Just Let it Burn
and Goddamn Dudes just loped off like a coward
When normally it has its hackles raised and its teeth gnashed
Two wolves seems doable honestly

It was another weekend with last minute cancelations of both DND games. Streaming was a fun enough distraction but I'm feeling lower and lower energy. Even an energy drink doesn't kick as much as it used to. That listless feeling, even while smiling and laughing on stream. Going through the motions.

How do we equip #AI with the social intelligence it needs to be a good teammate, collaborator, or driver?

Embedding real-time cognitive models in DNNs allows them to pick up on humans' latent goals and motives, providing a big step toward effective AI theory of mind:
