Machine learning, computer vision, fun things. Annoyed by the hype.
New video! This covers the fundamentals of quantum computing and builds up to a step-by-step walk-through of an important algorithm in the field.

K2-18b is back in the news, now with a bold claim that biosignature molecules (DMS and/or DMDS) have been 'detected at 3ฯ'.
Most exoplanet astronomers are extremely sceptical about these claims, let's see why (1/n).

Tuesday's Great Chatbot Debate, now on CHM's YouTube channel.
I answered the question by providing a definition of "understanding" and showing why LLMs don't understand and why it can seem like they do.

If you're interested in language, AI, and cognition, this is the *must-watch* video of the week: Debate a few days ago between Dr. @emilymbender.bsky.social and Dr. @sbubeck.bsky.social on whether chatbots can "understand". Was a lively and fun debate to watch.

REFLECTIONS ON AI IN THE CLASSROOM: How We are Not Using Al in the Classroom By Sonja Drimmer & Christopher J. Nygren Premise Prompt engineering is a term that has become commonplace since the widespread availability of generative Al applications like ChatGPT. The idea is that the outputs of the large language models (LLMs) on which these applications are based are only as good as the prompts that are input: vague prompts result in equally vague outputs. And thus was born the race to train for careers in prompt engineering. Unfortunately, the bubble seems to have burst before even the first generation of students was trained for this career outcome. We were given a prompt as an invitation to participate in this newsletter: "How are you using Al in the classroom?" While we have accepted this invitation, we are engaging in the most humanistic act we can imagineโrefusing the prompt.โ
Love to refuse a prompt. static1.squarespace.com/static/53a4b...

@emilymbender.bsky.social will set the record straight w.r.t. today's chatbots, in this event that has been advertised as "the great chatbot debate."*
*We don't think its a debate.

Don't fall for the AI hype, take this course to get a better understanding of what LLMs can and cannot do.

Deep Research, Deep Bullshit, and the potential (model) collapse of science
How Sam Altmanโs hype might just bite us all in the behind:

Our government is scrubbing the existence of trans people from the public record and discourse. This is unconscionable.
And if youโre not outraged, besides fucking off, you should also wonder who theyโll come for next.
This is tomorrow. Spreading awareness!
