At NVIDIA’s GTC 2025 (March 18-21, San Jose, nvidianews.nvidia.com), Yann LeCun dropped a gem: LLaMA 3—Meta’s open-source LLM—emerged from a small Paris FAIR (Fundamental AI Research) team, outpacing Meta’s resource-heavy LLM bets. LeCun, speaking March 19 (X @MaceNewsMacro)

IT came out of nowhere,” beating GPT-4o in benchmarks (post:0, July 23, 2024). This lean, local win thrilled the younger crowd—renewable generation vibes—since LLaMA 3’s 405B model (July 2024, huggingface.co) is free for all, from Mumbai coders to Nairobi startups.

Good News: Indian youth grabbed it—Ambani praised Zuckerberg at Mumbai (October 24, 2024, gadgets360.com) for “democratizing AI.” Modi’s “import intelligence” mantra (2024, itvoice.in) synced, with LLaMA 3 fueling Hindi LLMs (gadgets360.com).

GlobalSpring 2025 update:

From Norman Macrae Diary: 1943 surviving lest productive teenager job- navigator allied bomber command burma; 46 last class keynes cambridge; marry daughter of sir kenneth kemp (diaspora scots founded mumbai's first pharmciast, ur ken 25 years mediation with Gandhi - first draft of legalese of independnce of whole subcontinent of india (not later partition)); hired for 1948 41 years by the Economist ; sent 1951 to intern with von neumann what maps of quintillion times moore tech would make old economiscs and journalism greatest dangers tio survival of millennial generation -genre entrepreneurial revolution 1976, future histiries from 1972 - 2025report.com ;; 1955 only journalist at messina birth of eu; concept great by 1961 Euoocrats implemented opposite to intergenerational survival (out of any hemisphere - america's asia's , far north's, far south's)



IN 1980 my father Economist's Norman Macrae and I started a 30 year debate (until dad's death at 86 in 2010 on education transformation millennials would need to survive quintrilion times more tech

Resourecs then included - 1982 Economist survey why not silicon valey everywhere?

1983 on editions of book in 40 year future hoistiry genere- eg 2025Report.com - download 1984 version at www.economist.diary.com/1984 ; the book had 2 halves - from chater 6 how quintillion times more tech required transformation of ever dynamic of millennials lives beginmniong with education and health from 2000 on


the first 5 chapters looked at the mess of history- how the 2 world wars multiplied many conflicts including btitish empire had only shared engineering benefots with a minority of people and less than 15% of Asians the biggest population

how germany and ussr had been taken off by clinically mad stalin and hitler; and inconveneinetly one would win world war 2 with finger on atomic bombs capable of ending our species; you can read chapeters 1 to 5 of dad's book as visioning when berlin wall would fall and what the w3est would need to do to celebrate the new gfreedom of the russian people as well as all the newly split nations; we in tge westdid not welcome the russian people into productivity as the quintillion times more tech-so toady spring 2025 Europe has its last chnace to celebrate what millennials needed their parenst and grand parents to invest in accelerated


From 1951 dad's leaders in The Economist were informed by training/interning with Von Neumann (see also dad's biography and other resoirces at http://neumann.ning.com

missing knowhow on what your place did through last 50-70 years of your parents and grandparents- example in london 1959-1964 (my age 8 to 13); i found this huge wasteof time -only a lot later i reaslied nobody could agree what to teach let alone examine british kids on what UK had done ibetween 1900-10=950- were the 2 world wars more about crisises british empire borders had spiralled than other issues apart from both hitler and stalin were clinicaly insane at a time when nation leader would soon have their fingers on bombs that could exterminate our species

Problems of intelligence-centric - agency of life age 0 to 15 (eg half of all brain development by age 6 makes neurscience- designed motherhood/play schools important); it also makes education interventions vita- fail the syste not the kid if not confient anout literacy (reading age 6) writing and numeracy age 7

michael worlf's 4 books on trump

march 2025 chatdS Michael Wolff is a well-known author and journalist who has written several books about Donald Trump and his presidency. One of his most famous works is **"Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House"**, published in 2018. This book provides an explosive and controversial look at the early days of the Trump administration, based on extensive interviews with insiders. It delves into the chaos, infighting, and Trump's unconventional leadership style, as well as his desire for fame and attention.


Another notable book by Wolff is **"Siege: Trump Under Fire"**, a sequel to *Fire and Fury*, published in 2019. It continues to explore Trump's presidency, focusing on the investigations, scandals, and his relentless pursuit of staying in the spotlight. Wolff portrays Trump as someone deeply concerned with his public image and fame, often prioritizing it over governance.

While Wolff's books are not specifically about Trump's goal of becoming "the world's most famous person whom everyone chats with," they do highlight Trump's obsession with media, public perception, and his desire to dominate the global conversation. Wolff's writing style is often criticized for being sensationalist, but his books have been widely read and discussed for their insider perspectives on Trump's presidency.

If you're interested in Trump's personality, his approach to fame, and the inner workings of his administration, Wolff's books are a compelling, though controversial, resource.

 Over the past year, key international organizations, like the G7, OECD, and Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), have shaped the global AI governance conversation and focused on foundational principles, critical risks, and responsible AI development. Looking ahead to 2025, how are G7 countries and corporations planning to implement AI governance frameworks and address challenges, such as the growing energy demand for AI technologies?

Join the Wadhwani AI Center for the International AI Policy: Outlook for 2025 conference. This full-day event will be held at CSIS headquarters on December 9, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM ET and will convene leading policymakers, industry experts, and thought leaders to explore the latest international efforts in AI governance.

Featuring keynote speeches from distinguished figures, including Ambassador Shigeo Yamada of Japan to the United States, Ambassador Laurent Bili of France to the United States, and Sara Cohen, Deputy Head of Mission at the Embassy of Canada, this conference will highlight key international perspectives in AI governance.  

Panel discussions will focus on global governance initiatives such as the G7’s Hiroshima AI Process, private sector adoption of AI policy frameworks, infrastructure advancements to meet AI power demands, and what to expect AI policy to look like under the Trump Administration. Speakers will also spotlight upcoming priorities for AI governance during the 2025 Canadian G7 Presidency and the forthcoming AI Action Summit led by France.
