"genAI" doens't "learn" (tech execs' term) since it has no brains. Instead, it stores and regurgitates - PLAGIARISM....
"many AI developers use a more technically accurate term when talking about these models: lossy compression."

What I’d like to know @nytimes.com is how to boycott these companies.
Effectually i would to see a table of the services or products made by these sometimes obscure companies, so we can prefer competitors with values we can get behind.

Can’t believe European leaders are discussing legality of US invasion of Venezuela.
A summary of US actions in Venezuela:
Kidnapping a citizen in their own country
Expropriating their natural resources
Seizing power until somebody deemed adequate is found.
Who is next: Canada, Greenland?

Myth busting in action ! @joshua-goodman.com & Joseph Winkelman wrote a great paper on trends in US college enrollments and debunk the narrative we’ve been seeing everywhere about students massively leaving higher education

We’re all thinking it, Netflix sort of sucks now
Netflix won the streaming wars but we're still reeling from the fallout.
Entshittification — today we’ve had it with Netflix. Now we can’t even use Chromecast.
This blogpost sums it up. « Netflix - like Airbnb, Uber, and the rest of the share economy from the 2010s - just isn't what it used to be anymore. »

Totally!!
Check out the video from his BBC Proms 2015 concert and his 2024 concert at the Philharmonie de Paris, both are out of this world!! In the 2024 concert he uses a weird sort of glass instrument at the beginning, fascinating

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.

Very exciting JMP on teacher value added — beyond test scores and into socio-emotional value added.

À really interesting short study — based on a survey in the US, the public supports Unis championing initiatives (environmental, DEI, free speech, …) beyond research & ed, but finds political engagement inappropriate. Women & liberals support DEI initiatives but men & conservatives do not.

The climate action that matters is in the global south, argues an architect of the Paris agreement
But, writes Christiana Figueres, innovation still has to outpace climate impacts
« The era when American politics could make or break global climate co-operation is over. The world is no longer waiting for Washington. This time the global south is leading the way. » — a great piece by an architect of the Paris agreement @economist.com

Yes I agree! Hallucinate makes it sound like LLMs think and make mistakes, but that’s not hat it is.
