Did you know that LLMs fail at around 70% of all typical office tasks like generating a report on something from a spreadsheet? The Agent Company is a simulated office environment for benchmarking LLMs - I wrote a blog post about the paper here (with links and a rant): jilltxt.net/llms-fail-at...

The EU must use the anti coercion instrument now, or be humiliated. Europe must be free to enforce its own law on its own soil.

(reply to review request) I won't review articles that aren't open access as I'd be performing free labour for the publisher's profit. Providing access to journals which I already access via university is not renumeration, and besides the community still suffers if articles are kept paywalled.

a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes'

Digital sovereignty can’t be bargained away
The European Commission has tools, public support and a mandate to act on Big Tech. Trading that away for short-term calm would be a costly mistake.

Instead of giving in, the Commission must ensure that the Code reflects the intent of the AI Act and safeguards public interest, write Nemitz and Oueslati.
