  • what we know that’s on the table

    Who is we, and what’s on the table currently ?

    But let’s make a few prediction for end of 2028

    • First wave of climatic refugee to hit the west. We start to see place with more intense flooding or deadly heat-wave, but not yet at the point people massively seek asylum far-away, but this is getting close

    • The mess in middle-east won’t get better

    • The conservative wave isn’t stuck to Murica, I see a couple of European countries more having either far-right at the goverment or with blocking-minority

    • Some progress in cancer research, it’s easy it’s moving every-day

    • IA industry crash, nowadays, there is tons of cool stuff, but beside AI generated catgirls, and instagram bots, there is no big application, and I don’t expect the tech to be mature enough in the coming 5 years, leading to some bankrupcy. It’ll be enough to turn mainstream social media in Bot-infested hell

    • Still on the technology side, I don’t expect all these cool start-up about fusion to go somewhere, some would announce major delay (ITER won’t start by then, but we know-it) or pivot

    • China keep rising in power




  • Actually, the younger you fuck up, the worse are the consequences. A 13 year old go in a school fight, he is kicked out of school, has to go in another school further away, sleep less, see his grade fall down, and next year he’ll be pushed to start an apprenticeship rather than high school.

    A 31 one year old (otherwise a good citizen) does the same. He’ll spend a night in police custody and at worst pays a fine (with a high probability that change are dropped because judges and prosecutor are busy)





  • In theory, An expat is someone sent abroad on short/mid-term mission while working for an employer, while a migrant is someone moving abroad to find a job and sometimes to start a new life.

    This means that, if let’s say if a Mining company in Ghana sends someone to New-York to be the “US sales director” that person would be an an expat While an American opening an hotel in Ghana would be an immigrant.

    But indeed, in many cases : Expat = European/North-American, Immigrant = From somewhere else






  • While there is tons of nice place/stuff to do in Paris, many people see it as a perfect, romantic, ideal whatever city, and a visit there the trip of a lifetime.

    Paris is a 10 million inhabitants urban area with all the associated problems,

    Imagine thinking you’re in the perfect city and being stuck in a crowded train, then in traffic, and falling in any possible tourist traps, from the barely legal but legal low quality, high price restaurant to the pickpocketsand other petty crime





  • What’s she intended audience and the speaker profile?

    An AI summit for math/Computer science/Physics students would look very different from an AI summit for business/economy/law students.

    -Should everyone get a basic knowledge of how it works under the hood so they use it properly?

    • Which new jobs will appear? And which one will be replaced

    • Is it time for UBI?

    • Shall we setup laws to limit what can be done with AI?

    • Is AI a massive copyright violation?
