DSA, AIA, and LLMs: Approaches to conceptualizing and auditing moderation in LLM-based chatbots across languages and interfaces in the electoral contexts
The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into chatbot-like search engines poses new challenges for governing, assessing, and scrutinizing the content output by these online entities, especially in light of the Digital Service Act (DSA). In what follows, we first survey the regulation landscape in which we can situate LLM-based chatbots and the notion of moderation. Second, we outline the methodological approaches to our study: a mixed-methods audit across chatbots, languages, and electio…

TIL that George Lucas asked the guy who designed Darth Maul to give him "a vision from your worst nightmare", then looked at the concept art and, revolted, said
"Give me your second worst nightmare".

At the end of a long and complicated tender process with some fiendishly complicated requirements, the response we have got is
"You are the only supplier to fulfill all the complicated requirements we asked for. Unfortunately meeting all the requirements we demanded made the system too complicated for us, so we're going with someone who can't meet our requirements but is simpler."
I can't even.
We could have presented a simple setup! They just had to …

Decoding the dark proteome: Deep learning-enabled discovery of druggable enzymes in Wuchereria bancrofti
Wuchereria bancrofti, the parasitic roundworm responsible for lymphatic filariasis, permanently disables over 36 million people and places 657 million at risk across 39 countries. A major bottleneck for drug discovery is the lack of functional annotation for more than 90 percent of the W. bancrofti dark proteome, leaving many potential targets unidentified. In this work, we present a novel computational pipeline that converts W. bancrofti's unannotated amino acid sequence data into precise four…

I was just thinking about what you should do when you have a problem with an organisation you are part of, and so far (I've only just woken up) I think the steps are:
1. Wait - maybe it will pass
2. Act yourself to fix it - at the very least you will gain a better undertaking of the
3. Complain - perhaps the boss doesn't know theres a problem
4. Organise - what you can't fix alone you can fix together
5. Leave - if all else fails
And it feels lik…

I was really having trouble giving a shit about either of the two candidates in the Labour Deputy Leadership election, and I had to scroll quite a long way down the wikipedia page, but I found something in the end.

The same receptionist in my office building that nagged me today about leaving my computer (that I dial into remotely when working from home) on when I'm not in the office, just asked me to leave the front door of the building wide open because she's too warm.
