The argument that humans make mistakes too so we should be okay with AI making mistakes is… bizarre. I don't use a calculator for it to be wildly wrong some of the time and not indicate any sort of confidence level. I use a calculator when I want the right answer, ALL THE TIME.

Sure, I also don't ask the calculator to write poems in the style of Mad Hatter… but maybe, just maybe, I can do without that.

Also, again, "AI" is not sentient. It's actually not…

The Intel deal is a mistake
Like the agreement to allow Nvidia and AMD to export certain chips to China in exchange for 15 percent of sales,
this kind of presidential dealmaking is a bad precedent:
We should do things because they’re good policy, not because the government gets a cut.
This particular policy also risks distorting the free-market system that has delivered better results for America, and the world,
than any state-managed competitor has ever achi…

The Intel deal is a mistake
We cannot beat China by acting like it.

Oh dear. This is distressing on several levels.

GraDeT-HTR: A Resource-Efficient Bengali Handwritten Text Recognition System utilizing Grapheme-based Tokenizer and Decoder-only Transformer
Despite Bengali being the sixth most spoken language in the world, handwritten text recognition (HTR) systems for Bengali remain severely underdeveloped. The complexity of Bengali script--featuring conjuncts, diacritics, and highly variable handwriting styles--combined with a scarcity of annotated datasets makes this task particularly challenging. We present GraDeT-HTR, a resource-efficient Bengali handwritten text recognition system based on a Grapheme-aware Decoder-only Transformer architectu…
