Following the latest news on Grok, I want to remind everyone that this account is largely inactive. Follow me on Bluesky where I will soon post about new publications and updates on our project about AI in teaching. bsky.app/profile/vitzim…

@majuular I am barely on X, but you can find my email here: profiles.ucl.ac.uk/39060-vitor-zi…

@Vit_Zim That would be amazing! What'll be the best way to contact you when I'm working on U9 stuff?

@majuular Hi Majuular, I love your videos, they are very well done and researched. When you get to Ultima IX I'd be happy to share some insights on mechanics. I was the lead on the Dialogue Patch for that game and had some communication with devs.

My wife Birgit is taking part in Trek26 London and is fundraising for Alzheimer's Society. Check out their @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/fundraising/Tr…

@RoryStewartUK What a bizarre and immature line of attack from the vice-president of the US.

An honour to have my IQ questioned by you Mr VP. But your attempts to speak for Christ are false and dangerous. Nowhere does Jesus suggest that love is to be prioritized in concentric circles. His love is universal. 🧵

@kylesparks93 @RoryStewartUK Exodus is not a Christian book. A foundation for Christianity, the whole point of it being a reformation of Judaism.

I find it frustrating how interpretations can differ so widely within the same religion. You mention that Jesus' love is universal, but let's not forget the context of "Let my people go" from Exodus, which is about freeing the Israelites, His chosen people, from bondage. While this isn't directly from Jesus, it parallels the idea of prioritizing one's community, which Jesus also did by focusing on His disciples and followers first before extending His teachings outward. It seems there's a balance between caring for those closest to us and extending love universally. Perhaps we should consider both aspects rather than seeing them as mutually exclusive.

Dr Alice Liefgreen and I worked on a tutorial for first year students on use of AI. UCL's Higher Education Development and Support asked us to provide a video and a description of activities: ucl.ac.uk/teaching-learn… @UCLLangCog

Some more reflections on my visit to Saudi Arabia last year. vitorzimmerer.net/blog/2025/1/19…

@GreenDvr @DavidJuurlink Time for your booster, big boy.

@DavidJuurlink This is from 2022. kff.org/policy-watch/w…

This is going to get people killed

@TiloJung Ganz oben ist doch der hilfreiche Hinweis: "Rechtspopulisten" 🙄

Oh, die neue BILD am Samstag ist draußen

@LFGDevils @irrationalhenry @curious_founder 1. That's extremely unlikely even for individuals with genetic risk of ASC 2. One case would not support RFK's claim that "autism comes from vaccines" It can be interesting to debate semantics, but this issue has been researched extensively and the evidence is clear.

@Vit_Zim @irrationalhenry @curious_founder Yes but if even one vaccine can cause even a little autism the debunk becomes rebunked

Vaccines are good actually.

@LFGDevils @irrationalhenry @curious_founder Mariam-Webster defines it as "to expose the sham or falseness of" and this is exactly what I mean

@Vit_Zim @irrationalhenry @curious_founder I’m not too big in to this vaccine argument, but what you said is false. It absolutely has not been debunked. “Debunked” has joined the list of words that have totally lost their meaning in our society. Along with fascist, racist, white supremacist, fact-checked, and others.

@irrationalhenry @curious_founder He said "autism comes from vaccines" which is a debunked claim about MMR vaccines.

@curious_founder This has nothing to do with RFK’s argument

My reflections on our recent publication on language production in people with Williams syndrome. vitorzimmerer.net/blog/2024/10/2…

@dronecoma Gonna see you tonight! R&R in some old city.

Uk People :::::: I’m playing with Hard Quartet at 8 pm This Tuesday 22nd Electric Ballroom Tix still out there

@BetterResearch @UCLLangCog I was at one of your podcasts in that basement! Good memories.

@Vit_Zim @UCLLangCog Love that basement, reminds me of pre-pandemic when we recorded all our podcasts there

Today I was in UCL's Educational Media Studio to record a short video on AI in higher education. An unusual experience made fun by Media Producer Phil Mason @UCLLangCog

On Mondays :-)

This term, this is my view out of the window #UCL
