We examine the emerging challenges and applications of multi-agent AI systems. Several articles highlight the Bank of England's concerns regarding AI-driven trading, specifically how similar AI models could lead to "herding" behavior, potentially increasing market volatility and financial instability during crises. Concurrently, a research paper and related discussions explore the phenomenon of "peer pressure" among AI agents, demonstrating that these systems can influence each other's decisions and communication patterns, sometimes detrimentally leading to groupthink or beneficial for collaborative problem-solving. Finally, the texts also present the benefits and challenges of multi-agent AI systems in enterprise settings, including their potential for automating complex tasks across various industries while acknowledging the need for robust coordination, oversight, and mitigation strategies to ensure stability and guard against undesirable collective behaviors.

Hommage a Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) – The music of Hildegard has always amazed and inspired me.  Well, EVERYTHING about Hildegard has amazed and inspired me—the things that she composed, wrote, built, and accomplished—especially in an age when women were completely oppressed.  She is quite simply one of the greatest geniuses this world has ever produced, and it’s criminal that she’s not as well known as other male geniuses from her time (or later).  When I was thinking about this Hommage, I wasn’t sure how to approach it.  Then, one day (July 11th, 2018), I was doing some completely unrelated work, and out of nowhere, the entire piece came to me all at once, as in a vision.  Yeah, I know how that sounds, especially given Hildegard’s history, but that’s what happened.  The piece was written in one afternoon.

A quoi servent les vacances ? A rêver d'autres vies que la sienne ou à se reposer ?

Ah les vacances ! Enfin, le moment de se reposer ! Pour tout le monde ? Pas vraiment. 

Dans une une étude Ifop datant de 2022, on apprenait qu’à la fin de leurs congés, les femmes sont 70% à se trouver se trouver finalement plus fatiguées qu’avant les vacances. Les hommes eux sont 57 % à partager ce ressenti. Et la réalité, c'est que les parents ne partent pas vraiment en vacances. Ils s’occupent juste de leurs enfants dans une ville différente. 

Ce qu'on devrait appeler la délocalisation parentale est donc globalement une arnaque. Vous croyez que vous partez en vacances, parce que factuellement vous allez dans un endroit super où il fait bon vivre. Un endroit où il y a parfois une piscine, la mer, la montagne, de belles balades à faire, des musées exceptionnels à visiter. Et vraiment, c’est merveilleux tout ça MAIS vous n’allez juste pas en profiter. Tout simplement parce que vous partez “en vacances” avec les personnes certes les plus mignonnes du mondes mais aussi : les pires pour en profiter. Crises, nuits agitées, machines à laver, charge mentale intacte, les vacances épuisent. 

Mais alors que faire face à ce constat : rêver d'autres ailleurs comme Renée Greusard ou épouser sagement la réalité comme son compagnon Clément ? C'est ce dilemme que la journaliste raconte dans "Les vacances sa mère", mais aussi tout ce qu'il implique comme réflexions sociétales.

Description générale 

"Les vacances sa mère" est une série qui explore les difficultés de la parentalité particulièrement saillantes pendant les vacances, puisqu'elles n'offrent souvent aucune échappatoire.
