“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
~Edgar Degas Hi !
I had a couple of weeks off, that I dedicated to my other project, in the area of culture. Maybe time will bring a project in the intersection of Digital and Culture, my two passions. We shall see... In the meantime, here are some articles that caught my attention: Trump and Tech, Digital Insecurity, Walt Mossberg's last article, and IA are among the topics covered.
Until next week, keep making things
happen,
Pedro Mendes

Innovation Needs Communication
In 2014, Thomas Royen, a retired German statistician, solved a
puzzle that had stumped mathematicians for decades. Called the Gaussian correlation inequality, it involves the probability of a random point lying in overlapping shapes and is one of those seemingly simple mathematical ideas that is devilishly hard to figure out.
Is AI the
end of jobs or a new beginning?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing so rapidly that even its developers are being caught off guard. Google co-founder Sergey Brin said in Davos, Switzerland, in January that it “touches every single one of our main projects, ranging from search to photos to ads … everything we do … it definitely surprised me, even though I was sitting right there.”
