Muddy Waters’ Carson Block Says It’s Not the Time to Short Big Tech

Purse seiners are essential in tuna fishing, accounting for about 69% of the global catch of tropical tuna. To enhance monitoring, Regional Fisheries Management Organizations have mandated the use of electronic monitoring (EM) alongside traditional observers. However, the identification of tuna species remains challenging for AI systems, which require balanced training data. This study highlights the difficulties experts face in distinguishing between bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna using EM-captured images.

Contemporary machine learning models, including large language models, struggle in non-stationary environments due to rigid architectures. This work introduces dynamic nested hierarchies, allowing models to autonomously adjust optimization levels and structures during training or inference. Inspired by neuroplasticity, this approach aims to facilitate lifelong learning by enabling self-evolution without predefined constraints.

The European Union has announced a comprehensive plan to streamline digital regulations aimed at enhancing competitiveness in the artificial intelligence sector and supporting local tech companies. This initiative reflects the EU's commitment to fostering innovation and reducing bureaucratic hurdles for technology firms.

In late September, Deutsche Lufthansa AG announced plans to cut 4,000 administrative jobs by the end of the decade, attributing part of this decision to the increased use of artificial intelligence. This move reflects a growing trend among companies to leverage AI for operational efficiencies, often at the expense of human jobs.
