I'm excited for the next AI winter. At last we will be able to do something else without any FOMO.

Cela veut dire qu'en 6 ans, les heures complémentaires réalisées par un EC "moyen" à 192 HED annuels sont passées de 55 HED (en 2017) à 70 HED (en 2023). Les HC des contractuels ont quant à elles quasiment doublées sur la période.

See, this is why the public hates AI. We let these kind of people act like this, because we are spoiled little brats who want bigger and bigger datasets. In the end, this is quite the spitting image of a lot of ML research: "that's just data, dude".
Common Crawl says it complies with removal requests—while telling us they are “a pain in the ass”—but also is not actually removing the data in question.

The weird thing is that even in academia we fall for this. Every time I have tried an LLM for a real task, it failed, sometimes catastrophically.
And I still have colleagues telling me that "I'm not using right" or "not on the right problems".
Well, I'm using it for MY problems! And it sucks!

"Have you ever actually talked to an AI... I mean really talked to one?"
There's something really perverse about these kinds of replies. I don't know or want to pathologize these people, but it's a mix of hubris, a lack of self-reflection, and bizarre notions of expertise.

Every day it feels more and more like a zombie apocalypse over on LinkedIn, in which you start a conversation with someone who you hope is an ordinary person and then a couple of turns in discover that they have surrendered their brains to the "AI" mass delusion.

Detecting Notational Errors in Digital Music Scores
Music scores are used to precisely store music pieces for transmission and preservation. To represent and manipulate these complex objects, various formats have been tailored for different use cases. While music notation follows specific rules, digital formats usually enforce them leniently. Hence, digital music scores widely vary in quality, due to software and format specificity, conversion issues, and dubious user inputs. Problems range from minor engraving discrepancies to major notation mistakes. Yet, data quality is a major issue when dealing with musical information extraction and retrieval. We present an automated approach to detect notational errors, aiming at precisely localizing defects in scores. We identify two types of errors: i) rhythm/time inconsistencies in the encoding of individual musical elements, and ii) contextual errors, i.e. notation mistakes that break commonly accepted musical rules. We implement the latter using a modular state machine that can be easily extended to include rules representing the usual conventions from the common Western music notation. Finally, we apply this error-detection method to the piano score dataset ASAP. We highlight that around 40% of the scores contain at least one notational error, and manually fix multiple of them to enhance the dataset's quality.

I'm done with reviewing for AAAI. This year was the cherry on top:
1. Accepted to review 1 paper while in vacation
2. Assigned 4 papers instead of 1
3. Guilt-tripped when I pushed back
4. Assigned an emergency review with 24h notice *on a Sunday*
I get it 29000 papers is a lot, but I'm a volunteer!

I've said before but """agents""" are basically RCE and phishing-as-a-service.
I cannot fathom why anyone, moreso anyone with some security awareness, would give an LLM privileged access to their computer.

Haha, so chatgpt's new agent feature has a warning that if you send the agent to do stuff, it may give bad people access to your data. Necessary, I guess, but if this is true it'd make it fairly useless, no?
I mean to me the main use case would be giving it access to sites requiring login.
