jeremy_gibbs I spent all night convinced that my MacBook Air had a hardware failure—random text entry, clicking led to weird behavior, etc. I read console logs, booted into safe mode, performed hardware diagnostics. It turns out my cat was sitting on the wireless keyboard in the other room.

dickebuerste53 Find’s irgendwie immer faszinierend, wenn Bauten aus der Zeit vor 1945 auch heute noch als hässlich/Schandfleck gelten. Das ist ja seit der Denkmalschutz-Wende der 1970er extreeem selten geworden, alles Alte wird per se als schön empfunden

mccormick_ted It seems as if chatbots are best at academic tasks that are simplified for logistical reasons (short essays for large courses at poorly staffed universities) or where formulaic, buzzword-ridden discourse is prized. If that’s right, the implications have nothing to do with tech.

SarahTaber_bww So some folks who are in the Effective Altruism movement, & horrified by its recent behavior, wrote a piece about how EA can fix it self.

Reading through it, all I can think is "Ohhhh yeah. I remember this stage of trying to break out of a cult." 🥲

nsaphra @mmitchell_ai I feel like if you have a million tiny papers as an established researcher, probably the best route is to post them as proposals on ML collective and see if any junior researchers in developing countries bite?

nsaphra Can't be bothered to watch The Way of Water because I've already seen the greatest film James Cameron will ever be involved with: the footage when all of the news cameras zoomed in on his face while his fourth ex-wife won the Best Picture Oscar over Avatar.

complingy People who know about : consider "We owe it to you to do something special"
