More formally, the probability is uniformly distributed across all possible weather conditions.

We focused on defining AI creative capabilities - not only in the artistic sense but, perhaps more importantly, in terms of problem-solving and original thinking. This work is based on Giorgio's PhD thesis and current projects. 4/6

In essence, the question is how to assess the extent to which an AI system can perform a given task with a level of proficiency comparable to that of humans. 3/6

The current goal of the Working Group is to devise a series of metrics to quantify AI capabilities on a scale from 1 to 5 (similar to the “autonomy” scale used for assessing the capabilities of self-driving cars) in order to derive a global standard for governments, businesses, and other orgs. 2/6

During the past year, our lab (in particular, Giorgio Franceschelli and myself) have been involved in the @oecd-ocde.bsky.social Working Group on AI and the Future of Skills. 1/6

Rightmove added the strapline “believe it” to its logo. The reference to what an estate agent tells you is clear (don’t).

Earthquake Prediction Flowchart

xkcd.com/3165/
Comic. Someone is claiming to predict the exact date of a future earthquake. Should you listen? [flowchart: start] → NO (There are big earthquakes constantly, so if anyone ever *does* figure this out, it will be immediately obvious that their method works and then the world’s seismologists will not shut up about it. You won’t need this flowchart.)

In fact, these look like insects and maybe they look like that to attract predators that will be able to spread them elsewhere. I would be very interested in an opinion from an expert. 2/2

More wonders of the natural world. Now some flowers of the plant in my office appear as if suspended in the void. This looks like a “technique” to invite pollinators. Or maybe it is a self-pollinating plant and these flowers contain seeds (?). 1/2
