Dieser Satz ist sehr wiederverwendbar, gerade als zweiter Satz in der Unterzeile von der online-Version einer Zeitung:

"Wer jetzt glaubt, damit sei schon alles gesagt, irrt gewaltig."

Das passt überall, oder? @zeit.de 📰

Here's a rule of thumb: If "AI" seems like a good solution, you are probably both misjudging what the "AI" can do and misframing the problem.

Comment by Tom Diettrich on a linkedin post reading: "You can't "test-in quality" in engineering; you can't "review-in quality" in research. We need incentives for people to do better research. Our system today assumes that 75% of submitted papers are low quality, and it is probably right (I'll bet it is higher). If this were a manufacturing organization, an 75% defect rate would result in bankruptcy. Imagine a world in which you could have an AI system check the correctness/quality of your paper. If your paper passed that bar, then it could be published (say, on arXiv). Subsequent human review could assess its importance to the field. In such a system, authors would be incentivized to satisfy the AI system. This will lead to searching for exploits in the AI system. A possible solution is to select the AI evaluator at random from a large pool and limit the number of permitted submissions. I imagine our colleagues in mechanism design can improve on this idea."

this exists it is called thinking
Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

Und wie geht es nun mit Russland und der Ukraine weiter? Die „Berliner Zeitung“ weiß, wer es wirklich weiß: ChatGPT. Klar, weil die KI „über mehr Informationen verfügt als alle internationalen Experten zusammen und sich somit vermutlich ein umfassenderes Bild machen kann.“ 🤷‍♂️

There's a trend going around TikTok to have ChatGPT create visual alphabets (because the output is always full of ridiculous mistakes). I generated this one to use an example to help explain WHY AI image generators make these kinds of mistakes. It turned out even better/worse than expected.
a colorful visual alphabet labeled AI Ethica Alphabet, with letters, icons, and brief explanations. Examples include: B is for Bias with "Consent: AI can reflect and amplify unfair prejudices"; G is for Governancs with "Governance: Rules and oversight for safe i deployment"; G is for Governance with "Justice: injured indegeend If train ing snhzenic data repeordity"; P is for Regulation with "Oversight: Humans must se-powy important AI tasks"; R is for Regulation with "Guality Data: Good data prevents poor or biased outputs"

I say between 10 and 20 because it depends on things like the variety of English in question and whether we're counting only monophthongs.

Lasst uns über Scham reden! Über Fremdscham und Unverschämtheiten, über peinliche Versehen und den Wunsch, im Boden zu versinken. @kreienbrink.bsky.social hat ein sehr gutes Buch zum Thema geschrieben - und er wird mit mir darüber sprechen, nächsten Dienstag! Online! Ihr seid schamlos eingeladen.
Einladung: Talkrunde mit Matthias Kreienbrink (24.6.)
Scham – wenige Gefühle sind menschlicher. Matthias Kreienbrink hat ein sehr lesenswertes Buch geschrieben über dieses machtvolle Gefühl, das wir alle gut kennen.

Y’all let’s not forget about the accusative ending, mmkay? “Habemus papa” is D- material, @nytimes.com
New York Times news photo caption wrongly quotes the phrase by which a new pope is announced.

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

Missed EMMA's March 18 seminar with @larshinrichs.bsky.social on the characteristics and conditions of emergence of multiethnolects?
Good news! His book arrives in 2025 (check the CUP catalog in the next few months).
And in the meantime, watch his talk online!
