This is a good day. I hope better days ahead.

Language models cannot reliably distinguish belief from knowledge and fact - Nature Machine Intelligence Suzgun et al. find that current large language models cannot reliably distinguish between belief, knowledge and fact, raising concerns for their use in healthcare, law and journalism, where such disti...

And this difference is a critical one.

The route of JetBlue flight 932 approaching KBOS showing rejected landings and holding patterns.

I really feel bad for the pilots and ATC folks at Boston Logan. Dozens of rejected landings/go-arounds today due to strong winds.

This is not an uncommon situation today.

In addition, the ATC folks do not get paid, while being essential workers.

Incident 1177: Purported AI Monitoring Software Reportedly Flags Unsent Joke Threat, Leading to Arizona Student Suspension AI monitoring software on a school-issued laptop reportedly flagged a Marana High School (of Arizona) student's allegedly unsent joke email containing a violent threat.

Very concerned as we may get to the point when execution is also automated.

These incidents undermine trust in automation as a whole.

With a stronger push to AI, we experience a renaissance of reductionism. 🤷‍♀️

This is also a Dunning-Kruger moment for the industry. There are so many bad surprises ahead (and I'm not even talking about the impact of labor).

I've ran into similar challenges last couple of years. This didn't arrive suddenly. I noticed this trend as early as 2014.

Not to defend Tesla. But I think the only explanation of this is their product safety only encompasses the safety of who pays Tesla and doesn't encompass those, who don't. Like VRU in this case.
If it's the case, it is a very perverse interpretation of product safety.

2. If you look at the admission requirements at European universities, you will realize how much the US education is lagging. SAT/ACT requirements aren't even close.

1. The issue about an attack on American universities is not only about deterring getting brightest foreign students. With scientists and researchers starting to leave the US, it makes more sense to start seeking educational opportunities overseas for the American students.

Sometimes the college evaluation process looks like this.

The divide between Europe and the US becomes very striking if one compares college entrance requirements. Most of US students will not qualify in Europe. The US is very behind on education. And we are trying to disband the Department of Education!? 🤦‍♀️

Google Gemini is hallucinating.
This is why LLM model's outputs should be always verified.

Worked with Sabrina. I'm confident she will make an impact.

Very important step forward.

Very happy for Sabrina. I'm sure she will make impact.

Well, you haven't seen this.

* learned about this incident.

5. Air traffic control is a very interesting intersection of safety and very quick decision making.

I learned about this as JBU288 flew low over my home too. This is a good example, why it is not a great idea to have taller building in Downtown Boston.

/end

4. AA2595 reported they they did everything they could, but still couldn't stop on time. They were instructed to make the next right to M1. JBU288 landed safely 10 mins later completing its very hectic journey.

3. As soon as AA2595 reported they missed the turn the ATC tower immediately commanded JBU288 to go around. JBU288 was within a few seconds before touch down. It flew very low over Terminal B (as it made an almost 90 degrees turn) and continued climbing over Downtown Boston.

2. JBU288 was flying from LAX to BOS, but was diverted to SYR for an unknown reason. After landing AA2595 was supposed to turn to runway 27 and turn to K. That plan did not happen as AA2595 hydroplaned and missed the turn and got stuck on the runway with JBU288 about to touch the very same runway.

🧵 1. An interesting incident occurred today at Logan that made me appreciate what ATC folks are doing every day despite of this political chaos. Two flights were scheduled to land back to back on runway 22L - @americanair.bsky.social 's AA2595 from CLT and JetBlue 288 JBU288 from SYR.

Creating a new category business is so lonely... While the probability to have competitors is lower, the risk is higher.
