Post AAAI 2026 reviews venting. Got one reviewer pissed off at our response because we did not "engage" with their review. If anyone can explain to me how we can do a point by point response to a long review (out of four) in 2000 characters (for all four reviews), I'm all ears (or eyes here).

Our motion to parliament, tabled by @PippaHeylings.bsky.social would give both Samir Zitouni and Stephen the George Cross - the highest honour that can be awarded to civilians.

Both men's actions were nothing short of heroic, and they deserve the highest recognition our country can give.

Same buses running all around Aberdeen.

Actually from Hinton, my bad.

The @economist.com predicting that coding is at risk of becoming obsolete in two years is the new "we won't need radiologists in the next five years" from Bengio.

Can I tell you I said so in two years?

Farage: epic grifter

An excellent example of serious research on crowds.

Can he find Albert Speer to help design the rest of the new monuments?

AI researcher burnout: the greatest existential threat to humanity? Drawing on multiple interviews in the community of AI researchers and bolstered by mathematical modelling, we find that the future of humanity hinges on whether we can take sufficient urgent action to...

As a serious AI researcher, I cannot fail to spread the word about this critical initiative on AI alignment.

The @economist.com should get their tech correspondent (who likes to write about the big consequences of AGI), to write a piece about this initiative.

Go play River Raid in the Atari (or even better, any 2D Ninja Gaiden) and then come back to me to say "Uncharted" is hard. FTL is kid's play for people from my generation. But then again, the entire catalog of a 8 to 16-bit console gets released every week these days.

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

I’m sure Trump will post a heartfelt and sincere congratulatory message to Maria Corina Machado for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, as any president with class and dignity would do.

Eu consigo ver o admin da UFRJ pensando "Se eu precisar deste espaço em cinco anos, e vai demorar mais cinco pra eu fazer todo o processo de aquisição, melhor eu sentar nisto".

E a moral é, que adquirir coisas quaisquer em uma federal é tão complicado, que o pessoal senta em qualquer coisa pra ter disponível no futuro quando possivelmente poderia ser útil.

Tchê, eu ouvi isto de um diretor de faculdade da UFRGS, mas administração pública e de federal segue uma lógica completamente diferente da eficiência da maioria das demais instituições.

Blame-Free Robotaxi Crashes Are Still Crashes The tricky logic behind robotaxi crash metrics

Another piece that seems to have been written in the voice of the PR department of Tech companies.

The piece below is a good antidote to the omissions and misrepresentations in the Economist piece:

Blame-Free Robotaxi Crashes Are Still Crashes The tricky logic behind robotaxi crash metrics

In non-LLM AI news, Waymo has quietly been involved in two fatal car crashes in 2025. Phil Koopman details that this fatality rate is now comparable to humans.

People: 7/billion miles in all conditions
Waymo: 5/billion miles in geofenced conditions

It's always funny to read things like "anti-immigrant Czech-Japanese entrepreneur"

Well, turns out, I'm late to this party:

Will letters of marque come back into fashion?

America’s Illiberalism Doom Loop Republicans had real grievances with progressive orthodoxy—and are using them to justify drastic reprisals.

MAGA is embracing the kind of tactics it once deplored, Idrees Kahloon argues. "A culture of self-censorship is destructive. But prescribing state ideology as a cure is like treating a migraine with a lobotomy."

Great occasion for a Fuhrereid and establishment of the Fuhrerprinzip.

Not surprising. Much like social media before that, chatbot companies ostensibly talk about a better future because of its tools while knowingly capitalising on their tools effects to exacerbate our worst instincts.

"In Thailand a regular VOA slot on the Thai state broadcaster has already been replaced by a Chinese outlet. An Indonesian channel that hosts a weekly program for the country’s Chinese diaspora no longer features reports in Mandarin from VOA; it has replaced them with China’s state-run television"

This should be compulsory reading for any politician (and the public): www.kcl.ac.uk/policy-insti...
