#BelaB bringt es auf den Punkt:
Die jetzt nach den Wahlen zur Schau gestellte Empörung der „etablierten“ Parteien und das Wegschieben der eigenen Verantwortung klingt wie Hohn in meinen Ohren.
Niemand ausser ihnen selbst hat Schuld am Erfolg und den Ergebnissen der A*D!

Random Fitness-Reminder:
- Nur ein Kaloriendefizit führt zu Gewichtsverlust
- Mehr Schlaf und mehr Protein machen das Leben deutlich leichter
- Muskelkater ist kein Muss für ein gutes Training
- Die meisten trainieren nicht mal ansatzweise hart genug
Me: Can you draw a very normal image?
ChatGPT: Here is a very normal image depicting a tranquil suburban street scene during the daytime.
Me: Not bad, but can you go more normal than that?

In 1971, engineers from the Soviet Union ignited a fire in a gas-filled hole in the Turkmenistan desert. Anticipating that the flames would extinguish within days, they were surprised when the fire continued to burn. Now, 52 years later, this site, known as “The Door to Hell,” is still ablaze.
When a researcher tells you "problem X will be solved very soon" or "problem X won't be solved any time soon", ask whether they're working on it, and how long they've been working on it.
If they're working on a different but adjacent problem in the same field, they're probably right.
If they're working in a different field, their opinion is pure noise.
If they've been working on the problem for 1-2 years, they have massively inflated expectations driven by wishful thinking.
If they've been working on it for over 10 years, they're too pessimistic.
Transitively, at some point in between they briefly become realists, around the 5 year mark.
The argument that Napoleon led to innovation.
When he conquered an area, he did radical reforms: abolishing guilds, freeing serfs, and implementing civil law. Institutional reforms matter: the areas with the most reforms saw a 129% increase in patenting over the next centuries.
Bundestagsvize-Präsident Wolfgang #Kubicki wurde zu einer Luxus-Kreuzfahrt in die Karibik eingeladen. Einzige Gegenleistung: die Teilnahme an einer Talk-Veranstaltung an Board. Bei einem FDP-Parteitag fehlte er.
Eine kleine Geschichte über bezahlte Vorträge v. Politiker:innen 🧵
Wenn die Chefin der (sich sozialdemokratisch nennenden) Partei, die den deutschen Bundeskanzler stellt, es nicht einmal aushält, einem jüdischen US-Senator aus der Demokratischen Partei von Präsident Biden zuzuhören, dessen Familienmitglieder im Holocaust ermordet wurden, weil sie ihm unterstellt, nicht klar an der Seite des jüdischen Staates Israel zu stehen, und in großer öffentlicher Geste ihre Teilnahme an seiner Buchlesung absagt (ein Gespräch war nicht vorgesehen), dann zeigt es die gesamte Schieflage der Politik. Willy Brandt hätte sich anders verhalten. Ich habe Bernie Sanders am Freitag zu einem Gespräch in Berlin getroffen - ein Wiedersehen mit einem klugen Kopf, das ich um nichts in der Welt missen möchte. @faznetfaz.net/aktuell/feuill…
This is warning we need to scale and make vocal:
📣 Next week, the EU legislative decision-making (trilogues) concerning these articles will kick off in full swing. Five Member States are advocating for a reduction in the model provisions.
‼️ It‘s important as with the current draft of the AI Act, the EU will shoot in its own foot, and make the life of everyday developers, independent researchers & SME‘s across Europe who contribute to thousands of open models today, really hard. It will give an competetive advantage to BigTech‘s and the closed R&D process. I can not believe the EU is doing this, this is against what it actually stands for.
⁉️ The latest draft of the AI Act will treat all models identically once they are released – whether they are base models from corporate labs or fine-tuned models shared by the Open Source Community. We all should urge the EU to distinguish models based on why they're released, and how they're intended to be used.
⚠️ Don't believe it? Read Article 28b(2) through the lens of a graduate student who wants to release a weight delta – a performance patch – for a small model like Falcon-7B)
⁉️ Open Source models is vital to make AI safer, more competitive, and more accessible.
⚠️ Safer you said? Don‘t believe it? Read the case (link in comments), were trade secrets blocked access to an AI system that recognises facial emotions for border control. There is no reason why the substantial funding of research projects about extremely questionable technologies, paid for with EU taxpayers money, should be subtracted from public debate, and from democratic oversight
⁉️ We ALL should strongly encourage the EU to differentiate between various models and safeguard grassroots innovation.
The fate of a flourishing AI ecosystem is at stake.
The fate of independent startups, SME‘s and Open Innovation that could seing the EU to keep on track is at stake! BigTech lobby would win!
📣📣📣 PLS SHARE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! This will effect all of us!!!

AI is transformative for tiny uses in your area of expertise.
This small study of plastic surgeons showed GPT-3.5 cut the time to write operation notes from 7 minutes to 5 seconds. The notes met guidelines, and were preferred by both doctors and patients. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Vor einem Jahr führte Brüssel den „Good Move Plan“ ein, um die Innenstadt autoarm zu gestalten. Heute veröffentlichte die Stadt erste Zahlen:
- 27% weniger Autoverkehr
- Bis zu 54% weniger Autos vor Schulen
- 36% mehr Radverkehr
- Kaum Ausweichverkehr
Ein voller Erfolg😊

A multidisciplinary team of archaeologists and computer scientists has developed an AI capable of translating the ancient Akkadian language from cuneiform tablets almost instantly. The language, which originated from the Akkadian Empire around 2300 B.C., has hundreds of thousands of known texts, but many remain untranslated due to the time-intensive process and the limited number of experts capable of performing it. The AI was trained on samples from the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus and can translate both from transliterations of the original texts and directly from cuneiform symbols. Despite the occasional mistranslation, the AI has performed well in testing and could be used to rapidly translate the wealth of historical information contained in these tablets. The team published their findings in the peer-reviewed PNAS Nexus and released their source code on GitHub at Akkademia.

A 14-line Python script using gzip outperforming a 345m parameter transformer model is probably the most hilarious result I've seen all year.
