Speaking of Europe, I've been deGoogling on the grounds of data privacy, personal freedom, and surveillance capitalism. Yeah, it's kind of annoying but it's also pretty great. Here's what started my journey and how you can get started www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Lx...

Providing guidance for social scientists, we challenge the "bigger is better" narrative, instead encouraging social and environmental responsibility.

In case you missed it - last week they had the F1 drivers race giant lego cars for one lap and mayhem ensued. Some of the best racing drivers on the planet giggling like schoolboys as they race (and wreck) the cars 🤣

A Founding Father of Cyberpunk Isn't Surprised By Its Comeback Mike Pondsmith, who wrote the tabletop RPG that inspired 'Cyberpunk 2077,' explains why the genre feels vital in 2020.

Gossip on the internet, hang out, and let some political party decide what you’re going to do. And the next thing you know, you go, ‘Where did my health care go? Why are we fighting a war over here?’ Because you didn't pay attention. Maybe you should pay attention.

Please add me too! Thank you! 🙏🏼

I’m thinking Small Language Model + Whisper Speech-to-Text + RAG AI System that runs on an Inference Optimized Raspberry Pi 5. Let’s keep this implementation local and open 😉

Great read about the emergence of a topic that’s becoming increasingly part of popular culture: An AI enabled “afterlife”.

All praise to @seanhp.bsky.social @isaacbravo.bsky.social for producing and presenting this fantastic paper! Check out the results and the R adaptation of CodeCarbon on linktr.ee/comptext25

Thanks for giving us the chance to share!

See you at COMPTEXT 2025 in Vienna! I'll be presenting "Don’t Look Up: Evaluating the Tradeoff between Accuracy and Sustainability of LLMs for Text Analysis"

"Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs," Bernie Sanders wrote Monday on X. "This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions."

The tech oligarchs and their AI are taking over. Let's fight back. Alright, I’m really doing this thing. Support Blood in the Machine and fearless independent tech journalism.

I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier.

Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.

Brazil’s former President Bolsonaro charged over alleged coup that included a plan to poison Lula Brazil’s top prosecutor Paulo Gonet has formally charged former President Jair Bolsonaro with attempting a coup to stay in office after his 2022 election defeat.

Two highlighted contracts for $9,999,999 each.

Let's see how the intrepid Elon inspired team at DOGE - the folks who are currently examining your tax records - are doing! Today they put up their their idea of "open data" which they call a "Wall of Receipts". And look here - two cancelled DEIA contracts for $9,999,999. Wow, they saved $20M! 1/

LLMs don’t do photography, nor do they investigate, think, or create (controversial). The Guardian being paid by OpenAI doesn’t mean OpenAI will be replacing the human there. Journalists, photographers, graphic designers, etc. need funding. OpenAI needs content. It’s symbiotic.

Language models don’t produce the news; they consume it. Why can’t a language model be considered a content distribution channel for a mainstream newspaper? The current paradigm of tech companies pirating journalism is clearly broken, but why are you against a licensing model?

BAAI/bge-m3 · Hugging Face We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

The bge-m3 word embeddings work well for vector-based multilingual information retrieval. The easiest ways to implement this would be to use a vector database like Weaviate or Milvus. You can also use this to power a multilingual LLM RAG application using Ollama.
