The preachers of the Silicon Valley Church sell the harvesting of the body as “algorithmic inevitability,” promising immortality. A neat fable. Maybe they’ll keep the data lords alive for 150 years—but half of it will be Alzheimer’s. In the end, the thermodynamic hammer still falls.

New on flextalks.org: I've been researching a book — "It Takes People to Win!: AI in the Age of Smart, Local & Federated."
The short version: centralized AI's 2025 water footprint equals the entire global bottled water supply. There's a better architecture — and it puts communities in control of their own data.

Our work, "A Synthetic Data-Driven Conformity Scoring Framework for Robust Federated Learning" will soon be presented at WACV 2026. It introduces a novel technique for robust federated learning, using synthetic data to defend against adversaries in a privacy-preserving way. Results show improved performance against gradient manipulation and backdoors. Our paper is available (https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/WACV2026/papers/Alharbi_SD-CSFL_A_Synthetic_Data-Driven_Conformity_Scoring_Framework_for_Robust_Federated_WACV_2026_paper.pdf), including our code. Thanks E. Alharbi, A. Kerim, and Q. Ni! :) #ai #federatedlearning #wacv
As AI evolves, the convergence of NeuroAI and decentralized learning is reshaping our approach to intelligent systems. Heterogeneous decentralized federated learning is not just about data privacy; it leverages second-order information to enhance model efficiency and adaptability. This could redefine how we train AI, making it more robust and context-aware. Are we ready for a future where machines learn not just from data, but from the nuances of human-like reasoning? #AI #FederatedLearning
