We need to be careful not to accept the paper uncritically just because it confirms what we (at least, those of us who have problems with genAI) want to be true. Check out @grimalkina's analysis: fightforthehuman.com/are-devel…

@trenner is spot on 🎯 "[They're] framing the conversation in a very specific way. Rather than “is this the future you want?”, the question is instead “how will you adapt to this inevitable future?”. Note also the threatening tone present, a healthy psychological undercurrent encouraging you to go with the flow. [...]"

16 yo Sofia Avramenko got 200 in biology, math, Ukrainian (197 in history)

The highest scores for university entrance

Amazing by itself

She did it living in #Sloviansk, #Donetsk

The frontline

With nightly shelling

"You would sit somewhere in the corridor or in the basement until 2:00 AM, so it was very difficult to wake up in the morning. Or I would hear drones flying, or something would start shooting or banging"

Sofia plans to be a doctor

Maybe LLMs are allowing leakage of information between parallel universes. What we think of as hallucinations could be facts in another timeline.

I know, it’s just bollocks. But it makes the hallucinations more fun when I think of them this way.

« Ce courant existe dans la société, donc nécessairement à l’université », a affirmé Élisabeth Borne sur radio J.

« Dire que l’islamo-gauchisme n’existe pas, c’est un peu comme dire que la Terre n’est pas ronde », avait estimé l’ancien ministre de l’Éducation Jean-Michel Blanquer.

I'm glad to announce I was appointed to the ENISA Advisory Group to represent open source voice in the European cybersecurity activities.

And as always, all good news comes when I'm on my vacations! 😉

WeTransfer just changed their ToS to allow them to train AI on any files you transfer through them.

Don't use there service, especially for work that you don't have the right to relicense to them (e.g., commercial work that's exactly the most likely to create the huge files WeTransfer specializes in).

(ETA: this is already going boom so I'm muting it.)
