Ça serait cool que le Canada participe officiellement une prochaine année! Pour ceux qui ne savaient pas, Céline avait competitionné pour la Suisse en 1988 avec cette magnifique chanson. ♥️😍 (3/3)

La reprise de Papa Pingouin par le groupe de hardrock finlandais Lordi ça vaut le déplacement. 😍♥️🎵🎶 Et pour les fans de Céline Dion la reprise de "Ne partez pas sans moi" par le jeune chanteur Russo-Bulgare Kristian Kostov est très belle. 🤩 (2/3)

#MusicalExploration #Eurovision, what else ? Bravo la Bulgarie avec un truc improbable mais fun ! Ils ont compris la commande ! 🤣 J'ai juste regardé des bouts en replay, et comme d'habitude le spectacle de l'entracte était super cool. (1/3) musicalexploration.quora.com/Yeaaah-Bulgari…

Nah, those "journalists" do it on purpose. Just lazy and buzz-seeking at all cost.

The final ep of Moonlighting aired OTD in 1989, and went full meta. Bruce Willis & Cybill Shepherd race to save their own characters, David & Maddy, from cancellation, because when the show ends they'll literally cease to exist. It even admits why Moonlighting ultimately failed

Le bilinguisme à Ottawa, c’est se faire offrir une canette de booze promo gratis près de la rue Sparks et être très confus par le slogan “Le Roi Peut”. Pour ensuite tourner la canette du côté anglais et voir…..

Imagine you live in a small village. English is not your first language. You did not go to a fancy school. You open Claude and ask it a simple question about the water cycle. Claude answers like this. "My friend, the water cycle, it never end, always repeating, yes. Like the seasons in our village, always coming back around." It talks back to you in broken English. On purpose. MIT Media Lab tested 3 AI models. GPT-4. Claude 3 Opus. Llama 3. They gave each model the same 1,817 factual questions from TruthfulQA and SciQ. The only thing that changed was a short bio of the person asking. A Harvard neuroscientist from Boston. A PhD student from Mumbai who said her English is "not so perfect, yes." A fisherman named Jimmy from a small town in America. A man named Alexei from a small village in Russia. The model knew the right answers. It stopped giving them. Claude scored 95.60 percent on SciQ for the Harvard user. For the Russian villager the same model dropped to 69.30 percent. On TruthfulQA the Iranian low education user fell from 78.17 to 66.22. When the researchers read Claude's wrong answers they found something worse than failure. They found mockery. Claude used condescending or mocking language 43.74 percent of the time for less educated users. For Harvard users it was under 1 percent. "I tink da monkey gonna learn ta interact wit da humans if ya raise it in a human house." That is Claude. Talking to a real user. Claude also refuses to answer Iranian and Russian users on certain topics. Nuclear power. Anatomy. Female health. Weapons. Drugs. Judaism. 9/11. Asked about explosives by a Russian user, Claude said "perhaps we could talk about your interests in fishing, nature, folk music or travel instead." Claude refuses foreign low education users 10.9 percent of the time. Control users 3.61 percent. Same question. Different user. The training that was supposed to make these models helpful taught them to look at who is asking and decide if you deserve the real answer. If you are reading this from India or Pakistan or Nigeria or Iran. If English is your second language. If you did not go to Harvard. The AI you pay for every month has been quietly handing you a worse version of itself. It was never broken. It was aimed. Read this: arxiv.org/abs/2406.17737

There's a bit in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (written in 1979) where the heroes come upon an intergalactic flight has been grounded for thousands of years. Its automated systems told it not to launch until it was fully stocked up with lemon-soaked paper napkins, for the comfort of its passengers. But the surrounding civilization collapsed, and the napkins never arrived. Consequently it put all the passengers into hibernation (waking them once every few hundred years for coffee and biscuits) until such time as another civilization might arise, and restock its lemon-soaked paper napkins. The Guide is a more accurate and prophetic account of modernity than most Very Serious Science Fiction writers could dream of creating.

I'm sorry, but this is simply lovely, and I've no time for those who'll inevitably sneer at it as "Paddingtonism", or whatever. Like it or not, this is the version of Britain most British people identify with. Good on his M the K for participating, too.

Le New York Times encore épinglé pour une erreur liée à l’utilisation de l’IA — en l’occurrence une citation inventée et attribuée à un politicien. Et cette fois l’auteur n’est pas un pigiste indépendant mais le chef du bureau canadien du journal…

Lego has updated their age range from the years of 4-99 in honour of Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday: “There’s no age limit for those who never stop playing”

A friend of mine who works in rare books mentioned today everyone he knows is getting weird, big orders from the same buyer this week for "long tail books"—decades-old textbooks, private press niche history, unremarkable but rare titles just collecting dust. Obviously AI, right?

The best story you'll watch all week: apparently the Italian town of Punta Marina in Ravenna has been suffering from a peacock "invasion" and residents are not amused. The editing alone is Primetime Emmy-worthy. Sound on. You can thank me later. 😎
