I'm into local history, linguistics, and digital humanities. I also love privacy, so I'm likely to stay a rather silent reader here.
a hot take from your chronically ill friend, extremely tired of all kinds of ableist bullshit: are you even sure that "healthy" grown ups exist? Epstein-Barr and/or HPV are sleeping in, like, 80-90% of population
there is constantly growing evidence that they are ticking bombs
good luck, ableists

honestly, ML researchers and all this stuff turns into a very bad absurd, shameless parody
no surprise though, considering all the narcissistic hype that usually comes with as little as zero realistic self-criticism

Ukraine gets such a ridiculous amount of support compared to what it's going through that it's unbearable
btw, some European countries don't provide real help anymore to the newcoming refugees from the region where yesterday more than 20 persons got killed by a Russian rocket

it's actually scaring me how agressively masculine the hype around LLMs is, all this with narcissistic and agressive pushing of tech (which they themselves declare to be the biggest progress), treating authors almost as their slaves and ignoring the risks and real problems which LLMs can't solve

I found I still had a couple of the process pic videos for some of my aerial embroideries! Here's one of them - 'The land is a patchwork rainbow', 2023, which was inspired by Dutch tulip fields. This embroidery landscape was so fun to create! 🌈🌷🌸 #art

btw, the people pushing this idea seem to have no clue about many neurodivergent people and their habits: we HATE when we don't control the process and can't switch between tasks JUST BECAUSE OF OUR MOOD SWINGS
when they removed the parallel paths in Duolingo, it just became SLOW AND BORING

I have a number of colleagues who think that LLMs will be very useful as individualized tutors.
One of their arguments is that unlike previous generations of AI tutors, LLMs have the full context window of the conversation and that’s better understand what a student knows and doesn’t know.

feels almost like an insult, knowing how many wonderful ACTUAL images and awesome illustrators there are in this area

I'm not going to repost any of the insane antisemitic conspiracy bullshit that grok is spewing today, but it highlights how absolutely essentially is that we not let LLMs become a form of epistemic grounding for our society.

Pieņemsim, ir valsts iestāde, kura uz lūgumu atbild minūtes laikā, jo atbildi gatavo MI. Un ir cita iestāde, kas pēc dienas atbild: "Esam saņēmuši iesniegumu, mēnesi domāsim, dosim ziņu." Cilvēki vairs nepieņems nepilnīgus, lēnus, viņiem nesaprotamus risinājumus.
Saruna par MI valsts pārvaldē.

Man ļoti nepatīk frāze, ka MI ir neizbēgams, jo uzliek pienākumu uz to reaģēt un rada stresu.

this pasture is an excellent example of restoration, the enthusiasts from Naturskyddsföreningen have been doing that since 1992 and even got a prize for that
