It astonishes me that people expected LLMs to be good at creating summaries. LLMs are good at transforms that have the same shape as ones that appear in their training data. They're fairly good, for example, at generating comments from code because code follows common structures and naming conventions that are mirrored in the comments (with totally different shapes of text).

In contrast, summarisation is tightly coupled to meaning. Summarisation is not just about making text shorter, it's about discarding things that don't contribute to the overall point and combining related things. This is a problem that requires understanding the material, because it's all about making value judgements.

So, it's totally unsurprising that the Australian study showed that it's useless. It's no surprise that both Microsoft and Apple's email summarisation tools discard the obvious phishing markers and summarise phishing scams as '{important thing happened}, click on this link' because they don't actually understand anything in the text that they're discarding, they just mark it as low entropy and discard it.

En la#Audiofoto de hoy nos vamos de viaje a Milán. Suenan las campanas, muy probablemente de su catedral. ¿A qué os recuerda la melodía? Y no se vale mirar en la descripción, o al menos antes de escuchar, que ahí yo pongo a lo que a mí me recuerda.😉
#Milan, #Soundscape, #Bells, #Campanas

The latest @vkc video is about the lost art of computer manuals:

And I thought "wait, didn't @mntmn's MNT Reform have a great Operator Handbook"? So I went and looked it up, and damn! It's even better than I thought.

Not only does it explain how to charge the laptop and turn it on. It introduces you to Linux, has exploded-view drawings of components, includes schematics and even a bill of materials! Magnificent.

... ein aufblitzendes Messer im trüben Schein einer rostigen Straßenbeleuchtung könnte man sonst als Warnblinkleuchte vor der Gefahr eines Angriffes deuten ...

Das Lesen des Tatherganges im Urteil – schon vom 20.6.2024 – erzeugte bei mir ein Geschmäckle nach versuchten "Ehrenmord" und dass die Anstifter und wahren Täter unbehelligt bleiben!
