Machine Learning techniques are upending multiple scientific fields. Operational 5-day forecasting of air quality in 1 minute in this paper from Chinese researchers.
This is awesome work with very clear public health implications.
EDIT for clarity: I am.not suggesting LLMs have anything to do with this work, but many people hear AI and imagine LLMs. And many of them.are perhaps rightly sceptical of AI as a result.
But AI or ML techniques can be useful for lots of things, not just chatbots. And we should probably invest more in those.

The history of the term "anarchist" is itself adversarial. Those who embraced it did so intending to engage with it as controversy, so I feel like I'm not too out of line with this history in using my socialization of being comfortable while being adversarial, and my social license as a cis dude to just say some random shit for attention, to draw that attention back to this whole subject.
Since this post did get some attention, I'm gonna link back to the one that prompted it (and tag @…, who I think is the author, for a heads up if there's anything to add):
immerautonom.noblogs.org/the-e
I think I have said some useful things in my post, or at least repeated things others have been saying for years in a useful way, but this post is really the thing to look at (again, if you didn't miss it like I did) and think. There was definitely a time when I would have fallen for that whole hoax, and maybe even have struggled to argue against the things being highlighted. But it's clear that there is still a problem, and I hope repeating these things in my dude voice catches the attention of some folks who might have otherwise missed it... And I hope my adversarial approach doesn't pull focus away from the self-reflection that needs to happen.
Men are the problem here. Men need to fix this. Men are responsible for looking at some of this really horrible shit and acknowledging that we've all been part of the system that makes them possible and have an obligation to destroy that system.

We've almost always gone to war if USA asks. But Trump's *hated* here, so we're helping UAE instead. We've said no boots on the ground, so we're helping with planes/surveillance equipment.
Makes sense, we've recently signed an FTA & Emirates is a key transport link from here to Europe. Trump can't call Albo a 'loser' like Spain & the Australian media can't roast him for 'not doing anything'.

Scroll. You don’t have to read anything. Just scroll.
Every once in a while, click on an ad — but not the top ad. Make it the second in the list on the side, or one far down your feed. You can open it in a background tab and then close the tab. Tell the model it didn’t •quite• get you right — but you’re engaged, it just needs to drift a little further from who it thinks you are.
Wait for the ads to update. Repeat. And repeat. Watch the model degrade.
To this day, Facebook thinks I’m a gun owner who wants testosterone supplements.

Yesterday, I've read a vibe coded script for the first time in my life, and I've cried.
It wasn't ugly. "Ugly" is not the right term. It was as if someone wasn't able to comprehend beauty, but badly tried to mimic it. It felt like "malicious compliance" to beauty. The kind of awful verbose pedantry that feels wrong every step of the way.
It's the kind of code you'd expect in a corporate environment when you know that the code would be read by the top suits who have no idea about coding, but judge it by the volume and expect science fiction level of make-believe.
It's the kind of code is abstracted away into the tiniest details. Every function returns a complex dataclass explaining precisely what it did, for no reason at all. What would be two lines of code is a function. What would be a function is a whole module. It's a caricature of good programming practices.
I was supposed to add modifying a second field on the same object via GitHub API. I've guessed it would take me about an hour to figure out the code enough to be able to do that — what ought to be 2-3 extra lines. I suspected I'd discover that most of the code does precisely nothing. Just meaningless API exchanges that are absolutely unnecessary. It felt like the kind of parody of bureaucracy where you have to file 10 forms to do something, and only one of them actually means anything.
What used to be "do one thing well" became "doing ten totally random things is fine, as long as one of them happens to be what I need, and the whole thing doesn't blow anything up in an obvious way".
Perhaps it's just because this way a throwaway script. Maybe "production" stuff takes more, err, prompt refining? Maybe it actually can produce stuff that's comprehensible.
But if that code was any indicator, then I'm not going to believe that any big LLM contributions are actually reviewed by humans. A review will take more time than rewriting from scratch. This is a ticking time bomb. That LLM-generated code isn't introducing exploits right now is either a statistical accident, or it's just that nobody bothers.
Clarification: I didn't "prompt" it or request one. I'm not a hypocrite.

«A chatbot says “I’m sorry” flawlessly yet has no capacity for regret, repair, or change. It admits mistakes without loss. It expresses care without losing anything. It uses the language of care without having anything at risk. These utterances are fluent. And they train users to accept moral language divorced from consequence. The result is a quiet recalibration of norms. Apologies become costless. Responsibility becomes theatrical. Care becomes simulation.»

Is there anything better than watching some poor dude flailing as he's hitting on some random woman? "I really like your shirt, it's such a cool vibe" "it's my work uniform."
I either winced or laughed at that, I can't remember.
[I don't know if he ultimately succeeded in getting her number, but always remember that this is what the apps have taken away from us!]

The most important thing to understand about the “madman theory” of foreign policy
is that it was designed by losers for losers.
The world first heard of the madman theoryfrom a 1978 memoir by Richard Nixon’s former chief of staff H. R. Haldeman.
According to Haldeman, Nixon said:
“I want the North Vietnamese to believe I’ve reached the point where I might do anything to stop the war.”
Faced with an otherwise hopeless war in Vietnam, Nixon would pretend to be cra…

I'm so confused I've tried to find any persistent state across de-embed filter invocations and i *think* I've cleared everything out.
If i blow away the fft plan i get no output which is weird and needs further investigation (something not being initialized until the second filter execution or something?).
Wiping all of the VkBuffer's i could find had no effect. I tried adding submits after each shader in case of anything strange happening in command buffers wrt b…

We are a nation in discontent.
So I suggest that all of us schedule at least one evening at a local live theatre performance of some kind (but *not* some Broadway revival.)
Live performers on a stage emotionally interact with the audience in ways that are far beyond anything that TV or film can do.
Live stage is a dying art form - but it is one that we really need, if not for entertainment then for the way it teaches us to listen to others and effectively communicate with t…

No, really, my feeling for people who believe that they are not engage in promoting Fascism when using LLMs like ChatGPT and Clause and Grok is pure pity. I can’t even be angry with them any more when it is clear that if those LLMs are good for anything, it is breaking people’s connections to reality.

Helping in defense against attacks from Iran should be the maximum that Europe does, no involvement in any actions against Iran, on or above it's territory or anything like that. We need maximum resources for security on our own continent and for the war against Russia. It would be typical Trump to first destroy Iran and then ask Europe to clean up his mess...

My fellow people of the United States, if I have anything to teach from what Minneapolis just lived through, it is this:
Nobody is coming to save us.
Not Congress. Not the courts. Not the ICC or the EU or NATO. Not the generals or the rank and file. Not the press. Not the markets. Not the elections. Not some mythical version of “The People” that materializes out of nowhere as some messianic external force.
We’re it. We’re all we’ve got. If we don’t stop fascism from completely engulfing the US, then nobody stops it.

Gustavo Petro of Colombia and Donald Trump have had a tense relationship
that escalated into threats by Mr. Trump,
before easing.
Anything could happen at their Feb. 3 meeting.
The meeting between the two presidents
— arranged after Trump threatened Mr. Petro with military action
— is meant to de-escalate tensions, diplomats said.
It is also meant to address topics such as “the fight against transnational organized crime, especially on the border,”…
