my roman empire is the free skating performance of aljona savchenko and bruno massot in the 2018 olympics in pyeongchang

[culturevulturette]

This is the most beautiful performance on ice skates that I’ve ever seen.  

[mangoisms]

did my yearly rewatch of scott moir and tessa virtue’s moulin rouge performance….. what was in the water at pyeongchang 2018

[anewbeginningagain]

Been predicting this one for months now, good to be validated again...

[awesomedurraworld]

“ if you fall, I will be there.”

Hi, guess who is back in their ice skating obsession era? It's me! Haha, I only skated once but always wanted to be as graceful and elegant as them.

The other day I watched this couple Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot who competed for Germany in the Olympics.

Their performance amazed me, and I took one of their poses and drew Royai as them

Here is another version, it was such a quick drawing- nothing fancy, but it was fun

[sunskate]

just before the free at mid-atlantics and the john nicks competition were about to start, there were skaters from the event eating the semi congealed pizza from the concession stand - maybe bc there’s nothing else to eat there with protein in it? the rink is on the water at the very west of manhattan, and you might have to walk a few blocks for other food, but it might be worth it😬

this is a nationals qualifier and an event that counts for ISU world tech minimums and ranking points, so the teams were at a pretty good level, but compared to the bigger events, it makes you appreciate how difficult pairs is. only 4 teams stayed on their feet and nobody was clean today. a lift went down in a warmup😨 (he kept her from falling, stayed under her, but they both folded to the ice), and another didn’t go up during a program

it’s a small event in a rink with no bleachers. idk pairs coaches like ice dance ones, but Bruno Massot was there with the Crafoords, who are two of the healthiest looking humans i’ve ever seen😅 they also look so much stronger than a year ago. the top 3 teams in the FD looked good - Plazas/Fernandez who were leading after the SP had a bit of a rough day but still medaled

[speeddemon-82]

I’m surprised that I don’t see more Sonic characters drawn ice skating or an au made about that.

The outfit is from Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot’s Pair Free Skate in the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics.

AI Act EU First Regulation On Artificial Intelligence

EU AI Act

What the  AI Act EU has already altered for companies

The AI Act of the European Union went into effect on August 1. Among the first artificial intelligence legislation to be implemented in one of the biggest marketplaces in the world is the AI Act EU.

What changes can businesses expect?

Describe the EU AI Act

The first significant market to establish new AI regulations is the European Union (EU). As stated by EU authorities, “the goal is to establish the EU as a worldwide Centre for reliable AI.”

What is the EU AI Act

Using a risk-based methodology, the AI Act groups applications depending on how likely they are to endanger people’s safety and basic rights. Rules for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models, criteria for developing and implementing particular high-risk AI systems, and a ban on specific AI practices that are judged to pose unacceptable risk are some of the most significant clauses.

Known as the “minimal risk” category, AI systems that do not fit into any of the risk categories outlined in the AI Act EU are exempt from its restrictions, however some may still need to adhere to other applicable laws and transparency standards.

According to Bruno Massot, Vice President, Assistant General Counsel, and Head of Legal at IBM Europe, “it is a form of regulatory pragmatism that aims to adapt constraints with the level of risk.”

Certain AI applications that pose a threat to people’ rights will be prohibited under these new regulations. Predictive policing, emotion recognition in the workplace and classroom, untargeted facial picture scraping from the internet or CCTV footage to build facial recognition databases, and biometric categorization systems based on sensitive features are some examples.

European Union AI Act

On April 22, the European Parliament passed the AI Act EU, and on May 21, the EU Member States did the same. The law went into effect on August 1st, after several clauses were gradually implemented. It was first published in the European Union’s Official Journal on July 12th.

EU Act On AI

The timeline for the EU AI Act will move extremely quickly

Everything is not surprising, even though everything is happening quite quickly. It’s long been known about the drafts. Given how swiftly technology is developing, it’s also critical to move quickly, according to Massot.

Sixth month: Prohibitions against AI techniques go into effect. Codes of practice come into effect in month nine. General-purpose AI regulations, including governance, take effect in month twelve. The high-risk AI system regulations will go into force after 24 months. In conclusion, the regulations pertaining to AI systems that are either products or safety components of products subject to special EU legislation will come into effect 36 months following the laws’ introduction.

The EU AI Act

Which actions ought firms to take?

Dasha Simons, Managing Consultant, Trustworthy AI at IBM, notes that “there is a sense of urgency.” “Somethings taking two or three years to prepare could appear excessive. However, it’s not that lengthy if you’re a global or multinational company with numerous AI systems located all over the world.

Where should they begin then? According to Simons, the first stage is to decide which regulations will be relevant to your company.

The  AI Act EU lays out distinct guidelines and terminology for importers, providers, and delayers. You will have to adhere to distinct regulations based on your company’s function, according to Simons. Are you purchasing models and merely giving them a new name without altering the model itself? Or are you really adjusting the model quite a little bit? Essentially, this is the initial phase.

The second stage would be to ascertain which AI systems are in operation at your company and the degrees of risk attached to each one.

“Knowing where you want to focus at first is important,” says Simons.” Many businesses have no idea what kind of AI models and systems they have in development or in production.”

Businesses can identify their priorities by completing this assessment, which evaluates the high-risk systems after the prohibited ones.

“This will assist in identifying the procedures that must be implemented when new AI systems are introduced, and ensure that compliance with the AI Act EU is done proactively rather than reactively.”

According to Simons, the rules specify that companies must use AI strategically and that the C-suite must actively participate in this discussion.

You require technical know-how; in addition, it can be helpful to have a Chief Privacy Officer with experience implementing GDPR. While it’s important to have that knowledge available, Simons also believes that the C-level should establish accountability and strategy.

What effects will the EU AI Act have on companies?

The EU aims to set a global AI development standard. The GDPR of 2018 gave the EU a comprehensive data privacy and security law.

Parliamentarian Dragos Tudor ache, the AI Act’s main negotiator, called it “the first regulation in the world that is laying a clear roadmap on a safe and human-centric development” at a news conference.

Regarding the use of AI, numerous policies are being adopted globally

“Because it would be difficult [for businesses] to develop different systems with diverging restraints, consistency is important,” adds Massot.

An interesting development will be the requirement for organizations and enterprises operating in the EU to teach their users or workers about AI, according to Hans-Petter Dalen, IBM’s EMEA Business Leader for Watson and embeddable AI.

It’s interesting to note that there is a section on AI literacy in the AI Act EU. Hence, in order to use AI in the EU single market, any business or organization must provide a specific degree of education to both its users and workers. According to Dalen, “raising the fundamental understanding of what AI is is a very desirable thing. They don’t know what the level is yet.

“HR systems, which can currently screen resumes and suggest applicants, are one example in that regard. There are seven crucial requirements that must be met in order to proceed with that high-risk use case. Are you knowledgeable enough about artificial intelligence (AI) as the person purchasing that program to know what questions to ask about the algorithms? asks Dalen.

EU AI Act High Risk

The technological criteria that the AI Act will mandate remain mostly undetermined

The regulation itself lays out seven very loosely worded standards that must be met in order to comply with high-risk use scenarios. Ten requests for technical standards have been generated by those seven requirements, and two European standard decision organizations are currently working on developing those requests, says Dalen.

They anticipate that putting the technical standards into practice will be the quickest and least expensive way to achieve conformity, as they will provide us with clarity on the actual requirements from the regulation.”

what do you think about dnf as aljona savchenko and bruno massot at the 2018 olympics?

I watched that program yesterday for the first time it's soo beautiful. i think for dnf it's like suuper pretty but needs a bit more funsies

tbf in general I'm not thinking on pairs for dnf (just dance) cause i think on them as single but getting to practice together an exhibition for fun

[jennibeultimate]

Aljona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy back together as coaches in Chemnitz, Germany!

They will train skaters together in the places they trained for their past victories. The only title they didn't win as a Pair together was the Olympics title. This reunion is good news for dying figure skating in Germany.

I personally have mixed feelings about Aljona's personality because of the latest part of her active career and her excuses, but from a skating point of view I always loved her as a skater. Devide the skating from the skater, this is how I still enjoy past programs of Aljona with both former partners Robin and Bruno Massot.

I was a huge fan of Aljona and Robin back when they were active and they were one of the reasons I became a figure skating fan. So for all mixed feelings, they will always have a special place in my heart.

[anewbeginningagain]

Just a quick note on Smart/Dieck and the question which country they will represent.

Germany has one of the strictest citizenship requirements in Europe. You need to live there and have lived there for years (they wouldn’t be able to train in MTL) speak and write fluently German just to name a few. Look at how long it took Bruno Massot (he got his a few weeks before PYC). And than look how quickly Olivia or also Kirill got the Spanish citizenship….

Anyways, just my 50cents…. We will see in January!

I agree, I also said the same thing, it makes little sense for them to represent Germany since I don't see how Olivia can get German citizenship in time. Spain, on the other hand, seems like an easy solution for citizenship, plus I assume Olivia has a good relationship with the federation having represented them for 7 years and becoming part of the most successful dance team in their history. With the I.AM the maybe they can get Adria's backing which might also help with the Spanish federation.

about winning at all costs (examples from figure skating)

there is valieva (it could have been be any girl, really) who has been doped by her team to win at olympics

there are wada and isu and cas, who let her compete to avoid 'irreparable harm', even when it has become clear that she is doped (it doesn't look like winning, looks more like A LOT OF bribery)

there is rusada, who says 'no fault of hers' in doping, just to keep that olympic gold medal

bruno massot talks about aliona savchenko, and how traumatizing it has been to train with her

gabriella papadakis talks about her mental struggles and lack of team support

fascinating, how people reach the point when any cost is acceptable

reminds me that one part in memory by lois mcmaster bujold, where miles comes to the conclusion, that sometimes the cost is too high

Bruno Massot

Anonymous asked:

Bruno Massot - esfj?

[lunalilith19]

Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot

2018 Olympic gold medalists, 2018 World champions

Aljona has a very strong Mars/Pluto conjunction in her chart in Scorpio, which is willful, driven in the extreme, action oriented and can have an uncompromising, at all costs vibe. But Bruno is an Aquarius with moon in Libra and a retrograde Mercury in Aquarius- he would rather get along, try to understand each other. Aquarians don't like being told what to do and would be more likely to get stubborn and want to rebel against demands.

In the composite chart for their relationship, Aljona and Bruno have a T-square with Sun opposing Mars, both squared by Pluto.

Sun and Mars are the planets representing the ego, Pluto is about power, Mars is anger and action, and a T-square has only hard aspects:

Sun opposite Mars: you're competitive, argumentative, with a potential for ego clashes. you have very different energy levels and paces, which cause conflicts. the energy can be harnessed to spur each other on to accomplishments, but either one trying to coach the other would cause fights.

Sun square Pluto: power dynamics are front and center in the relationship. one or both want to change things about the other.

Mars square Pluto: potential for fights, blow outs, or using a lot of energy proving you're "right." But the tremendous energy you generate can be channeled towards a common purpose to accomplish a lot.

So together you have both the power to do great things but the dynamic to clash and explode if egos aren't contained.

Mr. Incredible becoming uncanny (figure skating performances)

There's less than a month left before the 2022 Olympics and almost all national championships are over, so I decided to rewatch some figure skating performances (I regret this decision now) and got an idea to make this video.

Warning! It may be a little scary
