@whvholst @zenhob also he's got 'controversial opinions'

@clongclongmoo @internetarchive P2P baybee. Soulseek and torrenting networks are the way to go. I still miss what.cd

Even our supposed 'independent' and 'informative' media deliberately describe Israeli soldiers as 'persons' in their reporting about Hezbollah and Hamas strikes while being deliberately vague about murdered Palestinians in both numbers, ages, often giving primary space to the obvious and increasingly ridiculous lies that IDF gives out as justification for their atrocities and crimes.

Bombing refugee tents with hospital beds, burning injured people alive. There are images out there of human arms burning with IV drips still in them.

When is it too much? What can you do? What can I do? How can we ensure that no one responsible for this escapes justice?

No shit “this decline [in the capability of LLMs to perform logical reasoning through multiple clauses] is due to the fact that current LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning; instead, they attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data.”

Paper from Apple engineers showing that genAI models don’t actually understand what they read but just regurgitate what they’ve seen like a puppy wanting to please its owner:

@anarchiv Andreas Malm but make it actually praxis

What many of us kind of sort of knew is now being born out by research. LLMs don't reason (and probably never will), and that's a *big* problem.

We've just been dazzled by the statistical complexity of our own natural languages, and fooled by our well-known tendency to project agency on to things that *appear* even vaguely human. (Think of "Wilson" in Castaway...)

@aardrian it should continue '...while continuing to deliver the weapons used to do so'

@renordquist @academicchatter eh, some of the 'chemistry' prize winners aren't _that_ old (at least by previous standards), and though GE's lightskinned, I wouldn't stretch to call Demis Hassabis white either. Still though.

@kallekn Är det samma företag som säljer utrustningen som är en konkurrent? Många svenska och europeiska företag har sålt av stora delar av sin maskinpark till konkurrenter, historiskt, exvis i samband med diverse avindustrialisering.

@kallekn Henrekson är ju allmänt motståndare till grön omställning i allmänhet och industrikapacitet i norrland specifikt. Skulle inte köpa rakt av vad han påstår om typ nånting.

Ser fram emot att Nobelpriset i kemi ska gå till Yann LeCun och Marvin Minsky.

@samuel @GreiderDD men Andersson är ju själv ideologiskt närmare C än vad hon är stora delar av S?

@samuel Bohlin har tyvärr exakt noll skam i kroppen

@renordquist @academicchatter also for unrelated reasons I'm highly sceptical towards honoring NN development to this point as well, especially since it seems so much to be riding on AI hype...

@renordquist @academicchatter Rosalind Lee should have had part of the medicine prize it seems like as well.

Fuck me this is going to be so bad.

@Anke I've seen it in popular science mags my parents had in storage from the 80s at least, but probably longer than that.

@phil_stevens

Truth. Both are delay tactics the fossil fuel industry is heavily using. Pretty amazing that such contradictory statements can be used to achieve the exact same goal - delay progress to increase profits (just as @_noelamac_ describes).
