This is absolutely appalling. Between this and the recent NDA scandal, I think there’s enough cause for Altman to step down from his leadership role at OpenAI. The world needs a stronger moral compass at the helm of such an influential AI organization.

Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI situation. Wow:

@historiously @hughlaurie Audible has it. It was a free download for me but maybe because I'm paying a membership fee, not sure

I can’t think of anything I’ve ever seen, heard, eaten, drunk, worn or driven that comes close to Miriam Margolyes reading Bleak House. Perfection.

@hughlaurie Is that on audible? I’ve been looking for something to spend my spare credit on. Love a bit of Dickens.

In the last two months, we've received two peer reviews (one paper and one proposal) where a reviewer basically says "I know you show all the data but I just don't feel like I can believe it." So frustrating to know what to do with that. I love this job, but this is just tiring.

@Eric_LeFerrand "I'm sorry Eric, as an AI language model I cannot--oh wait, you said reviewer 2? I hate that guy! Tell them i hope all their experiments suffer from replication crisis"

ChatGPT please rephrase: "We would like to thank reviewer 2 for their constructive criticism. Please find out response: your review is stupid"

My favorite non-nlp thing from #EMNLP2021 was how often the Bavaro resort played the theme from Somewhere in Time, a lovely film about a man who goes to a seaside resort and...dies in his room. Beautiful music though. open.spotify.com/track/3yT55Np2…

A highlight from #EMNLP2021 fascinating keynote by @StevenBird: NLP often comes with a set of assumptions about what are the needs of communities with low-resource languages. But we need to learn what they *actually* need, they may have a completely different epistemology. /1

Inspiring keynote delivered by Steven Bird (@StevenBird)! He beautifully articulates two ontologies for linguistic diversity and stresses on the importance of being mindful of the cultural practices of indigenous communities when building language technologies. #EMNLP2021

Let's not do this in NLP. Submit to insights-workshop.github.io 😉 I just don't follow the logic. Say, X was published bc it was thought to be significant, so that others could build on it. If X doesn't reproduce, why is that now non-significant?

Prof Nichola Raihani@nicholaraihani

Submitted a paper reporting null results to a mid tier journal. Guess how it went. I literally don’t care at this point but I do feel bad for the first author (who I won’t name here).
