jlsmilges I’m sorry but describing your class, let alone your deptartment’s curriculum, as something designed to “weed out” students is so embarrassing. Like, why are you building a fake scarcity logic into your pedagogy?

emilymbender People often ask me if I think computers could ever understand language. You might be surprised to hear that my answer is yes! My quibble isn't with "understand", it's with "human level" and "general".

fesshole I have a butter knife I got from my German grandparents. Everything about is is perfect: balance, blade, handle size, spreadability. It just happens to have an eagle carrying a swastika on it. I have to hide it every time I have guests over.

emilymbender 1. The general operating mode is "make shit up". Sometimes it just happens to be right.

2. "Make shit up" is actually giving too much credit, since the LMs are only coming up with sequences of linguistic form & it only means something when a person makes sense of it.

emilymbender I'm not sure I agree that current systems "fail more gracefully" than rule-based predecessors. Failing to return an answer when the input falls outside the system's capability does have a certain grace (humility) about it...
