i am looking for academic (or similarly "serious") courses or textbook-y texts on LLMs with a major component (lets say >66%) that is NOT about the technicalities of Transformers, optimization, RL, tokenization, etc, but instead focus more on data, eval, interpretability, etc. pointers?

🤯 We use the term 'intelligence' a lot, but wth do we mean?

We got 303 survey responses from researchers. The most agreed-on criteria are generalization, adaptability & reasoning.

Is there a term for the state of "killed yourself over last-minute conference submissions and now need a week to recover"?

Also, any strategies from group leaders who manage to prevent that?

State media. State censorship.

#January6th and #Project2025 search results are also being hidden on Instagram.

There isn't a single, arguable reason to stay on any META platform or X.
Searching #liberal or #democrat on Instagram now returns "We've hidden these results", #Republican has no such problem. Seems bad.

As a professional gatherer of news I have to say one of the hardest things is staying simultaneously informed and sane.

The only thing that works for me is a balanced media diet and avoiding the sources that scramble my brain.

This means social media only in manageable doses.
something that is becoming clear tonight (hanging out with less online people) is that my mental health is dramatically worse than theirs at the moment

we’ll see how things play out as we adjust to our new, awful reality but I may need to reevaluate my relationship to online

There are a few of these. Bad actors are assembling blocklists to trick people into blocking voices that they want to mute.

Readers, MAKE SURE YOU TRUST the author of a blocklist. They can keep people from you, and modify the blocklist after you subscribe.

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost.
They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong.

Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread
Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.

That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.
