    The outfit choice here is awesome. It’s the “pick one of every style out of my wardrobe” fashion choice.

    We are most certainly at a dangerous intersection- it’s not just the algorithms yes, they are bad.

    I’ve experienced being bombarded with misogynistic content, racism, prejudice as unpleasant as that was.

    So, I had to willfully seek out more inclusive, non prejudiced, tolerant content and block out the awful content.

    But; no- it’s not just algorithms some content creators are willfully trying to cause problems for people or unsettle them that they have decided they want to hurt, be cruel, or intolerant towards.

    I remember seeing a clip many years ago of one of the people involved in the ‘the revolution will not be televised’ movement, he explained it was not about conflict, it was about it being a state of mind, choosing upon oneself right from wrong etc. I’m paraphrasing, but my point is unless people stop feeding the algorithm with anger and hatred, why would it change? It is on us to ‘be the change we want to see in the world’, now more than ever, with greater effect, simply by watching videos.

    Here’s a simple tip to get started, if you see anything with the word ‘shocking’ in it’s title or headline, ignore it. Please.

    I think it would be an absolute honour to steward TED, whatever this outcome, I, and I’m sure the millions of followers will be all in for it, we only get sense, reason and intelligent debate here, and that is a priceless commodity these days. Thank you Chris for enlightening so many of us to the true culture of humanity and the desire to learn from each other.

Meet the startup helping Wall Street put a price on AI compute | Equity Podcast

The AI buildout shows no signs of slowing. And with hundreds of billions of dollars a year going into data centers and GPUs, compute has become the single biggest cost for anyone building AI products. But for all that spending, there still isn’t a straightforward way to put a price on compute — or for firms to hedge their exposure when the price changes.

Silicon Data just closed a $30 million Series A to change that. The startup aims to become the reference price for GPU rental and an index that a Wall Street futures contract would settle against. The company plans to launch its compute futures trading on the CME October 5th, pending regulatory approval.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan is joined by Steve Hou, head of research at Silicon Data, to discuss the health of the AI buildout, and why the data is telling a different story than the doom and gloom headlines about depreciating chips and stalled data centers.
