Oh, one more thing... Reading that article, I don't think Chollet is a "skeptic" at all. He seems completely bought into and enthusiastic about the idea that the path OpenAI et al are on will eventually yield affordable AGI, or at least there's a good chance of it (which, just to be clear, I think is nonsense). So I'm not too worried about him drooling about better test results from OpenAI.

IOF admit to opening fire on protesters in southern Syria


The Israeli occupation forces acknowledged their use of live ammunition against protesters in southern Syria, claiming the action targeted what they described as a "threat."

According to an IOF statement, one protester sustained a gunshot wound to the leg in the village of Maaria.

The incident unfolded during a demonstration against the Israeli military presence and its encroachment on agricultural lands in the area.

It is worth noting that the IOF recently occupied two villages in the Yarmouk Basin region of Daraa province in southern Syria. These actions are part of what appears to be an ongoing expansion of Israeli-occupied territories in Syria, particularly since the emergence of new regime forces in the country.
