This is really interesting to check out, some footage from CNN that catches Blair and Bush talking together about the Middle East crisis in a very candid manner. It also gives you an idea of how these guys, that have great impact on our world, talk about things !
You can watch the video itself (the link to it is in the second paragraph). It's not mind blowing but is an interesting insight into this little world of power struggles.
This footage and the Bush comments captured are discussed at the WashingtonPost.com with an Associated Press video that covers the G8 summit as well.
But as the Newsweek article points out, the way Bush seems uninterested in the whole crisis that is brewing in the Middle East, is the most shocking, disregarding his vulgar remarks.
But what was even more jarring about the remarks Bush made to Tony Blair at the closing meal of the G-8 summit in St. Petersburg was what they revealed about his views of Mideast diplomacy. Or, more to the point, his lack of interest in personally taking part in any of it.
Update : An eye opener article at the International Herald Tribune covers some other bloopers and typically Bush style behaviour and remarks. It would be funny to see if any other country would like Bush to represent them in front of the world !
I question the reliability and accuracy of Generative AI (GenAI) in enterprise scenarios, particularly when faced with adversarial questions, highlighting that current Large Language Models (LLMs) may be data-rich but lack in reasoning and causality. I would call for a more balanced approach to AI adoption in cases of assisting users, requiring supervision, and the need for better LLM models that can be trusted, learn, and reason.
I discuss my experience with chatbots, contrasting older rules-based systems with newer GenAI (General Artificial Intelligence) chatbots. We cannot dismiss the creative capabilities of GenAI-based chatbots, but these systems lack reliability, especially in customer-facing applications, and improvements in the way AI is structured could lead to a "software renaissance," potentially reducing society's technical debt.
The article discusses the contrasting debate on how AI safety is and should be managed, its impact on technical debt, and its societal implications.
It notes the Center for AI Safety's call for a worldwide focus on the risks of AI, and Meredith Whittaker's criticism that such warnings preserve the status quo, strengthening tech giants' dominance. The piece also highlights AI's potential to decrease societal and technical debt by making software production cheaper, simpler, and resulting in far more innovation. It provides examples of cost-effective open-source models that perform well and emphasizes the rapid pace of AI innovation. Last, the article emphasises the need for adaptive legislation to match the pace of AI innovation, empowering suitable government entities for oversight, defining appropriate scopes for legislation and regulation, addressing ethical issues and biases in AI, and promoting public engagement in AI regulatory decisions.

[...] Further down in the article, we find out that Blair and Bush had a “conversation on a secure line” about this. Well it’s good to know that they have changed their habits. [...]
