PHL to join talks on safeguarding supply of materials considered strategic for AI dev’t

THE US plans to invite the Philippines to join a multinational initiative to safeguard supply chains for technology deemed vital to artificial intelligence (AI), a US State Department official said on Tuesday.

Undersecretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment Jacob Helberg said Philippine involvement in the US-led Pax Silica initiative follows a number of preliminary discussions, which he described as “very positive.”

“We are very eager and look forward to engaging the Philippines on Pax Silica,” he said at a virtual briefing. 

“I plan to extend an invitation to my counterpart in the first half of next year in order to be able to resume these discussions face-to-face, and we are confident they’re going to be very fruitful exchanges,” he added.

Pax Silica was launched last week with initial partners, including Japan, Singapore, Australia and South Korea. Designed to deepen economic and technology ties among participating countries, the initiative also seeks to diversify sources and reduce risks from dependence on material suppliers.

“If the 20th century ran on oil and steel, the 21st century is going to run on computers and minerals,” said Mr. Helberg. “We’re aligning our supply chains accordingly.”

Regarding competition for materials used in advanced technology, he said, “I think everyone understands who that is,” without referring specifically to China.

“Our strategy is to create a competitive edge so steep, so insurmountable that no adversary or competitor can scale it,” said Mr. Helberg. “That’s why our goal is to make America the arsenal of AI in this century.” — Kenneth Christiane L. Basilio

A ‘Star Wars’ Actor Rewrites The Entire New Trilogy They Starred In

A ‘Star Wars’ Actor Rewrites The Entire New Trilogy They Starred In

The post A ‘Star Wars’ Actor Rewrites The Entire New Trilogy They Starred In appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It feels like we don’t hear all that much from actor John Boyega that much, outside of when he’s talking about Star Wars as of late. And in a recent Popverse interview, he went so far as to rework the entire trilogy, in terms of what he’d do differently, as he’s been vocal about what he believed went wrong with the original. Here’s what he said: “It would be mad. First of all, we’re not getting rid of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, all these people. We’re not doing that. The first thing we’re going to do is fulfill their story, fulfill their legacy. We’re going to make a good moment of handing on the baton.” “Luke Skywalker wouldn’t be disappearing on a rock … Hell no. Standing there and he’s, like, a projector? I would want to give those characters way more way more” By the end of the trilogy, all three major Star Wars leads are dead. Han Solo killed by his son, Kylo Ren. Luke Skywalker fading into the ether after force projecting himself to face Kylo Ren. Leia had to be written off due to the tragic death of Carrie Fisher during the production of the trilogy. So Boyega would halt at least the first two deaths, as it did come off as strange that “passing the baton” was mainly killing all the big characters. He continues: “Our new characters will not be overpowered in these movies. They won’t just grab stuff and know what to do with it… No. You’ve got to struggle like every other character in this franchise.” This is likely a reference to both Rey and himself. Rey was frequently criticized as a “Mary Sue,” possessing immense power and skill in everything from flying to fighting to the force despite growing up as…
