Tebrikler ve teşekkürler #FileninSultanları

Language models hallucinate for the same reason students sometimes bluff on exams: they haven’t seen every fact, their “thinking style” has limits, and the scoring system punishes admitting ignorance.

Victory Day (30 August) is not only a national holiday in Türkiye but also a reminder of the universal values of resilience, independence, and sacrifice in pursuit of peace and sovereignty.

Today we commemorate the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Dumlupınar (30 August 1922), a defining moment in Turkish War of Independence. I honour with respect those who gave their lives and health for our homeland, & heroes who fought for freedom, led by Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

The scale, induced demand, and fossil lock-in, none of which are visible in per-query median statistics. 👇

Palestinian lives are equally important as any human life on earth. Silence regarding the atrocities is complicity.

Moral abyss.

The fight against #climatechange needs every tool in the box, and #quantum technology is emerging as a powerful one. Just delved into the EU's Quantum Europe Strategy and was struck by its vision for how #quantumcomputing can drive #climateaction.

England has had its warmest June on record, while the UK has experienced its second warmest since 1884, according to provisional Met Office statistics.

I will speak at the @oxfordsmithschool.bsky.social Sustainable Finance Summit 2025 on 16 July on #ArtificialIntelligence as an enabler for #sustainablefinance markets and discuss whether it can keep its promise. I hope to connect with many of the distinguished speakers and participants.

Worth thinking… Are you building tools that liberate? Or tools that codify exclusion under the guise of precision?

My friend is in charge of the team that wrote the climate change adaptation plan for Switzerland and this is one of the things they expected.

Congratulations to the European Space Agency - @esa.int on 50 years of innovation in space!

I guess it was kind of historic

Explore the IEA’s Energy and AI report, with… AI. 🤷🏾‍♂️ (well, you don't have/need to)

#AI has the potential to transform the #energy sector in coming decade, driving a surge in #electricity demand from #datacentres around the world while also unlocking opportunities according to the IEA’s new report.

Historic temp records incoming. Look at these anomalies today (and next 3 days). Stay safe out there. #climatechange

“We’re trading deep understanding for quick fixes, and while it feels great in the moment, we’re going to pay for this later."

If there is someone who needs to be thanked, it is Zelensky and the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 for standing up and fighting for their sovereignty and freedom.
