Сьогодні у нас продовження нашої роботи з Фінляндією – дуже змістовне. Предметно працюємо з урядом Фінляндії – з паном Премʼєр-міністром Петтері Орпо. Дякую за цю співпрацю і такий рівень відносин між нашими країнами. Є новий пакет підтримки для України від Фінляндії, і ще додатково – угоди, які додають нам можливостей для співпраці. Сім документів підписані, загальний обсяг сьогоднішніх домовленостей – 300 мільйонів євро. Домовились, що будемо використовувати більше супутникові спроможності Фінляндії. Це важливо для нашої оборони, для стійкості України. Домовились про це з Nokia та ICEYE. Дякую за готовність підтримати нашу логістику та енергетику – це ключові мішені для Росії зараз, і те, що буде більше локомотивів у нас, більше енергетичного обладнання та коштів для захисту енергетики, – це дійсно підтримає.

Today, we continue our cooperation with Finland – and very substantively. We are working comprehensively with the Government of Finland – with Prime Minister @PetteriOrpo. Thank you for this cooperation and for this level of relations between our countries. We have a new support package for Ukraine from Finland – and, in addition, agreements that expand our opportunities for cooperation. Seven documents have been signed – the total value of today's agreements is €300 million. We agreed to make greater use of Finland's satellite capabilities – this is important for our defense and Ukraine's resilience. We reached agreements on this with Nokia and ICEYE. Thank you for your readiness to support our logistics and energy sector – these are Russia's key targets right now. And having more locomotives, more energy equipment, and more funding to protect energy infrastructure will really help.

ICEYE and @Nokia announced today a partnership with The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine to develop sovereign satellite communications. ICEYE has supported Ukraine since 2022 and delivers sovereign space capability at speed. This builds on that. Read more: hubs.li/Q04C3bj-0

Our satellite shaker plays a familiar tune. Every satellite goes through a 'shake test' to make sure it can withstand the strain of a rocket ride into orbit. It turns out the shaker can also play frequencies that become sounds you can hear. To celebrate our new satellite communications partnership with @nokia, our team put one of our mass models to work on a special tune. Learn more: hubs.li/Q04ySJtC0

Humanity is experiencing a new steam power moment. Today, I wrote in @thetimes about navigating an AI revolution that will change how we think about freedom, autonomy, agency, and other key aspects of the human condition. thetimes.com/comment/columni…

Per @azeem The United States has already established the importance of semiconductors through the CHIPS and Science Act and export controls aimed at boosting an A.I. economy and safeguarding national security. Now it must apply similar focus and urgency to upgrading its electrical infrastructure. Maybe it is time for the creation of an Energy Acceleration Authority that would have a mandate to streamline approvals for critical clean energy projects. nytimes.com/2024/12/28/opini…

The future of AI hardware is in this one specific coffee shop in Shoreditch where I’m meeting with one person to compare notes on physical AI interaction design and then the person sitting next to us turns out to be a Poem/1 backer with their own product getting to production too

Mussorgsky's Khovanshchina was performed at the Baltic Sea Festival in Sweden right after its premiere at the Helsinki Festival. You can now listen to the entire piece as a recording – highly recommended! 🎶 @BalticSeaFest sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/cho…

A lot of people have worked very hard for the past year to make the next couple of months very interesting
Ted Chiang's essay made some good points about art and intentionality, but it is premature to debate about AI making art. For now, AI doesn't exist autonomously. Humans make art with AI models trained on humans. We train our own models on our own datasets. This project took 18 months to prompt. I see making models as art.

There are lots of reasons to think about AI regulation but this specific video is not one of them. It is obviously a parody and very much the kind of free speech we should be protecting
Yep, time to regulate AI

What an amazing two weeks it’s been – first, rehearsals in London, followed by a performance at the @bbcproms, and a second performance at the @helsinkifest in @Musiikkitalo! Thank you so much to @AnuKomsi, @oramsa, @RCMLondon, @Taideyliopisto and many others!

BASSO! This epic piece was part of last week's Helsinki Art Festival, directed for the last time by @moia. Lauri Porra created a piece for dozens of bass players, a choir, drums, and supporting artists, which reminded me of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. youtube.com/watch?v=Kxaj9PaI…
