Been experimenting with AI agent systems lately (smolagents, llamaindex, langgraph, crewAI). The ecosystem is getting much more mature, tools for easy implementation are there (massive improvements over 2023 LangChain/Auto-GPT), ability to run python is insane.

Comment la confiance en soi nous expose à la #désinformation. C’est la conclusion que tirent les chercheurs Jean-Claude Dreher et @guigonv.bsky.social. Pour la #Semainedelapresse, pensons contre nous et vérifions si nos certitudes ne sont pas écrans de fumée. www.ouest-france.fr/leditionduso...
Pourquoi la confiance influe-t-elle sur notre manière de débusquer les fausses informations ? - Edition du soir Ouest-France - 26/03/2025
Avoir confiance dans ses jugements dispense-t-il de vérifier une information ambiguë, au risque de valider de fausses informations ? C’est ce que des chercheurs français ont...

After over 10 years of barely using Twitter, I’m moving to Bluesky! Looking forward to sharing ideas, connecting with others, and seeing where this platform takes me. I’ll mostly post about research, science communication, et tout ce qui pique ma curiosité.
À bientôt!
