So, is Twitter really dying? I guess the answer could be different, depending on your POV. I know user numbers are dwindling, but it seems pretty chatty from the Balkan standpoint. I don't see that kind of chat in our languages in Mastodon or #BlueSky. #Mastodon

Bill Maher to Launch Podcast Network, Hires Ex-ESPN Anchor Sage Steele as First Host
"I am looking for people who are not talking point people," the HBO host tells THR of his new podcast venture.

This demo of a tool that can compare the output of a dozen AI models at once results in surprisingly common answers to prompts like "tell me a joke" or "give me a random number." When an average is well established, LLM results are reliable—and uncreative https://youtu.be/C3H4LKmcw1M?si=5tT7-f

Distinguishing Internally Club and Approachable on an Infinite Interval
Krueger showed that PFA implies that for all regular $Θ\ge \aleph_2$, there are stationarily many $[H(Θ)]^{\aleph_1}$ that are internally club but not internally approachable. From countably many Mahlo cardinals, we force a model in which, for all positive $n<ω$ and $Θ\ge \aleph_{n+1}$, there is a stationary subset of $[H(Θ)]^{\aleph_n}$ consisting of sets that are internally club but not internally approachable. The theorem is obtained using a new variant of Mitchell forcing. This answers…

Google's Education VP wants us to believe AI is the classroom's new calculator, but this is a terrible analogy:
1. We know how calculators produce their results.
2. You can check a calculator's answer using pretty much the same algorithm it uses.
3. Rare floating point errors aside, calculators do not invent false answers.
4. Calculators are based on math principles; LLMs are based on no principles.
